Regional växtkraft i en global ekonomi - Det svenska Vinnväxtprogrammet

This also means that it is far from certain which production, if any, will be located in Småland, Mälardalen, Norrland or anywhere else in Sweden. Small countries face great challenges when trying to create good conditions for skill demanding production throughout the ...

How did Sweden's secret life-line to the West wither? Early in the Cold War, the inner cabinet authorised covert preparations for wartime military cooperation with the West.

This book explores this neglected aspect of Sweden's secret ties to the West. By comparing the ...
