Whose Bosnia?

Recently I read the book “Whose Bosnia? Nationalism and Political Imagination in the Balkans, 1840–1914” by historian Edin Hajdarpasic. The book is mainly about the implementation of the ideas of early nationalism in Europe during 19th century and how nationalist movements took place within Bosnia during the time when that area of Balkan was partContinue reading “Whose Bosnia?”

Arholma is a place where I can find more peace and focus. Here, I can do both work and vacation without noting the difference betweenContinue reading “Greetings from Arholma”

The S-Tank

Stockholm 2020-05-18 Yesterday I passed by the Army Museum in Stockholm. One of the main exhibitions that are outdoor is the “S-tank”, officially called Stridsvagn-103 (Tank 103). The S-tank was famous for its “unique” or “strange” design. Military or tank experts had disagreements regarding its status because not all experts could agree if S-103 evenContinue reading “The S-Tank”

Symbols of change – or not

Smalare men vassare EU. Centerpartiets EU-politiska kommunikation i förändring

Jag har skrivit denna artikel genom att analysera begreppet ”smalare menvassare” rörande Centerpartiets EU-politiska kommunikation. Intresset väcktesredan under 2014 i samband med Europaparlamentsvalet när Centerpartietpresenterade sitt valprogram och senare under 2016 när jag skrev minmasteruppsats om svenska riksdagspartiers politiska kommunikation under EP-valet.
