Description
Swedish party programs and election manifestos from 1897 until today.
All documents are also open available at page: https://snd.gu.se/vivill, where it is possible to search in the documents.
Swedish party programs and election manifestos builds on the "Vi vill …! Hundra år av partipolitiska viljeyttringar" ("We want…! A hundred years of political party declarations") project, which the predecessor of SND, SSD, conducted in 2000–2002. The purpose of this project was to collect the programs and manifestos that the political parties had produced during the 20th century. In these texts, you can trace the development of the political parties in terms of their language, politics, and ideology. The material also provides an overview of which questions have been essential for the development of Sweden.
The selection of election manifestos builds on work done by Sven-Olov Håkansson in "Svenska valprogram 1902–1952" (”Swedish election programs 1902–1952”), and materials collected and used in the research project "Partiernas opinionspåverkan" (“Political party influence on public opinions”), POP, by
