Abstract

This chapter outlines the evolution of universities in Sweden. The chapter shows how Swedish universities have been shaped in the interplay between academic, political and economic forces and taken a specific form as an extension of political ambition, and how that model of university governance has exposed Swedish universities to both opportunities and vulnerabilities that ensue in periods of rapid ruptures. The chapter pays particular attention to the responses that have unfolded to the COVID-19 pandemic but also more generally to how universities in Sweden have balanced the orientation to global templates with that of political expectations.
