Mikael Sundström

Under första halvåret 2023 var Sverige ordförande i Europeiska unionens råd. Det roterande ordförandeskapet innebär att administrera och leda arbetet i rådet, medla mellan medlemsstater för att nå gemensamma beslut och förhandla med Europaparlamentet för att få ny lagstiftning på plats. Under det svenska ordförandeskapet stod med nödvändighet Ukraina- och Rysslandsfrågorna i fokus samtidigt som frågor om konkurrenskraft, miljö- och klimatpolitik, migration samt demokrati och rättsstatens principer hade en framträdande plats på den politiska dagordningen. I den här boken analyserar tolv forskare det svenska ordförande­skapet utifrån en rad frågeställningar: Hur framskred arbetet inom olika politik­områden? I vilken utsträckning lyckades Sverige agera i ordförande­skapets olika roller? Hur fungerade förhandlingarna med ­Europaparlamentet? Vilken roll spelade Sverige på det utrikespolitiska området? Vad kännetecknade inrikespolitiken under ordförande­perioden? Vilket avtryck gjorde ordförande­skapet i nationell och internationell media? Hur förhåller sig ordförandeskapet 2023 till de två tidigare svenska ordförande­skapen 2001 och 2009? Vad säger ­ordförandeskapet 2023 om svensk Europa­politik och om ordförandeskapsinstitutionens dynamik och framtid?
