The Swedish Experiment: The Covid-19 Response and Its Controversies - Hardcover
by Yohann Aucante (Author)
With Sweden traditionally hailed as a social and economic model, it is no wonder that the Swedish response to the COVID-19 pandemic raised a lot of questions - and eyebrows - around the world. 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, civil liberties and respect for expertise. The book also acts as a case study for understanding the moral and normative ways in which different national approaches to the pandemic have been compared.
