This paper reflects upon how national culture influences on Corporate Social Responsibility practices. For this purpose, the metaphor of "organization as culture" was used as theoretical framework, and Sweden as case study by identifying elements from its history and language which have contributed to the acceptance and reinterpretation of CRS concept in the country. In conclusion, the paper presents the "socially responsible" condition as ambiguous and contextual, emphasizing on national culture as a variable which cannot be underestimated in the analysis of CSR initiatives.

In 1996 the Swedish government decided to create a new museum in the city of Gothenburg. This museum would be pan of a new authority called the National Museums of World Culture (Statens Museer för världskultur). This new organization should contain all the national museums with non- European collections, and the Provincial Museum of Ethnography in Gothenburg was also included in the project. In 1999 the Museum of Ethnography moved to the national management, and since then a great ideological paradigm shift began in the administration of the museum. A new house was built for exhibitions and the Museum of World Culture (Viirldskulturmuseet) opened its doors to the public in December 2004. Participating in this process, it was possible to observe how this change influenced the management of collections, and how these began to represent something new in the Swedish environment. These collections, which for many years had been viewed as representatives of people outside Sweden, became in the political discourse a possible tool for the integration of different nationalities living today in Sweden. During their time in Sweden, the collections have been representutive of many ideas, and have been contextualized in different discourses. These collections have been in Gothenburg in some cases more than 100 years: some of tbem arrived as souvenirs of journeys to exotic lands, and now they have become tools for a better living in the city. In this paper, a synthetic history; of the collections in their stay in Gothenburg will be presented. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Electoral systems that include many constituencies often cause significant imbalances between the votes received by and the seats allocated to political parties. Such imbalances may be corrected through an allocation of “compensatory" seats. The electoral system for the Parliament of Sweden constitutes an illustrative example of the implementation of compensatory seats. This paper analyzes the Swedish electoral system and suggests two modifications aimed at its improvement. The first option relies on the replacement of the electoral threshold by another one that is more balanced towards medium and small-sized parties. The second proposal consists of the implementation of a biproportional allotment to distribute the parties' seats among the electoral constituencies to avoid the discordances that currently arise due to the size of the constituencies. The proposed amendment is then applied to the 2010 elections in Sweden. Finally, we investigate the implementation of the Swedish electoral system to the Congress of Deputies of Spain.

Theaim of this article is to discuss similarities and differences with regard to how to combat and solve economic crises in Sweden during the 1990's depression, the global financial crisis 2008-09 and the 2020 Covid-19 crisis. In recent years in social science the existence of path dependence has been discussed to a large extent. The conclusion in this article is that there were differences but also clear path dependency in the way Swedish governments and municipal authorities tried to combat and solve economic crises. What was learned particularly in order to put thefinancialand banking sector in shape during the 19905 wasalso used with some success in 2008-09, namely to convince both the financial market actors and the public that the Swedish government was ready to use ample sources in order to serve as a lender of last resort. In the case of the ongoing Covid 19-crisis, the signals from the outset were to put in use parts of this strategy once again. However, I argue, the recent crisis is of a very different kind than the previous two and there is no guarantee that the strategy will work once again. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
