Two cartel regimes. Swedish paper cartels and the EEC in the 1970s
In 1973 Sweden entered into a free-trade agreement with the EEC. This meant that the EEC principle of prohibition of cartels met with the Swedish principle of abuse. Paper production was heavily cartelised in Sweden and Scandinavian export cartels exercised a strong influence over EEC markets. The problem is analysed in terms of legitimacy – how did the Swedish actors make their claims legitimate? When analysing the arguments used in the negotiat…
Cartels and norms in the Swedish steel industry 1923–1953
This article discusses the reasons for cartel stability by using the Swedish Steel Casting Cartel as an example. Previous research points out organisational structure and the ability to deal with exit entry and cheating as crucial for stability. In this article, the development of social norms, morally legitimised within the cartel, is discussed as a possible explanation for cartel stability. The organisational structure developed was flexible en…
Liberalism as State Non-Interference
Le libéralisme en tant que non-interférence de l’état. Le développement de la législation suédoise des cartels (1911-1953) En Suède, la libre concurrence a été considérée comme très (et de plus en plus) irréaliste durant la première moitié du xx e siècle. Une législation plus stricte en vue de combattre les cartels fut mise en place durant la seconde moitié de ce même siècle. Cette évolution avait été interprétée comme une composante de l’américa…

Neutrality and free trade
This article discusses the Swedish attitude to European economic cooperation, an attitude that has been described as reluctant. The traditional explanation for this has been Sweden's neutrality. This explanation has been challenged by researchers, who have claimed that a nationally self-sufficient social democracy was responsible for the reluctance towards Europe. In this article, neutrality is still seen as the main explanatory factor. Swedish s…

Sweden and the Oeec, 1947—50
This article discusses Sweden's participation in the OEEC between 1947 and 1950 and the extent to which such economic cooperation affected the interpretation of Swedish political neutrality. Even at this early stage there were signs of forces within the OEEC that were striving for a degree of cooperation not merely economic in nature but also political. The Swedish government made great efforts to maintain the distinction between economics and po…
Neutrality and Economy
The article deals with the defining of Swedish neutrality in the initial years of the Cold War. The established truth that the Swedish interpretation of neutrality was adapted to US wishes is not challenged but the reasons for this development are discussed. The main reason for adaptation is identified as the Swedish government's ambitious economic policy which led to economic dependency upon the USA, acceptance of Marshall Aid and economic incor…
