Abstract [en]

This longitudinal comparative thesis studies the securitization of migration in Sweden. It empirically contributes to the existing knowledge by examining official government data, drafted by the Social Democratic led government after the migration crisis in 2015, and Moderate led government after the signature of the so called Tidö-agreement in 2022. The aim is to study and compare how each government motivated, and securitized migration in their policies. To this end, this thesis used securitization theory to examine whether the Tidö-agreement presents a case of continuity and/or discontinuity in comparison to the securitization of migration conducted by the Social Democratic led government. The content of propositions and government declarations was analysed with the help of qualitative content analysis, where both inductive and deductive strategies were separately employed. The findings indicate that the Tidö-agreement is a mixed case of continuity and discontinuity in Sweden’s migration policies.
