New studie about relations between Swedish development and security policy
In the reform agenda, the government states that development cooperation is one of the most important foreign policy tools for pursuing and safeguarding Swedish interests and meeting the challenges that we and the world face. In a new study, the EBA will examine the relationship between Sweden's security and development policies in order to identify synergies, overlapping or coherent objectives, and areas where there may be conflicting objectives or risks. The study will also shed light on how Sweden prioritises these issues today, as well as how other countries work with security and development policy.
