Swedish Politics at Crossroads? Challenges to the Consensus Model, a talk by Goran Hyden, Distinguished Professor Emeritus, University of Florida
February 27, 2015 @ 12:50 pm - 2:00 pm
Dr. Hyden is Distinguished Professor Emeritus of Political Science and African Studies. In this presentation, he will focus on his native Sweden. Politics in Sweden rarely attracts international attention, but the recent government crisis and the challenge stemming from admitting what the right-wing “Swedish Democrats” call too many foreigners have raised issues about Swedish exceptionalism. Can Sweden retain its self-declared status as the Europe´s “moral conscience”? Is it going to become “just another European country”?
