This short book explores Sweden’s unique response to the global pandemic and the strong wave of controversies it triggered.
It helps to make sense of the response by defining ‘a Swedish model’ that incorporates the country’s value system, underpinning its politics and administration in relation to, among other things, welfare, democracy and civil liberties. The book acts as a case study for understanding the moral and normative ways in which different national approaches to the pandemic have been compared.
