	Sweden (08/05)
		Sweden suffered further territorial losses during the Napoleonic wars and was forced to cede Finland to Russia in 1809.
		Sweden's predominantly agricultural economy shifted gradually from village to private farm-based agriculture during the Industrial Revolution, but this change failed to bring economic and social improvements commensurate with the rate of population growth.
		While some argued that it went against Sweden's historic policy of neutrality (Sweden had not joined the EU during the Cold War because it was incompatible with neutrality), others viewed the move as a natural extension of the economic cooperation that had been going on since 1972 with the EU.

	Christian Democrats (Sweden) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The party was founded in 1964 but did not enter parliament until 1985 in an electoral cooperation with the Centre Party and on their own accord in 1991.
		In, Sweden Christian Democracy surged as minority grouping amongst the center-right forces and was tied to religious minority tendencies in society (the Free Churches).
		At that time the Green Party of Sweden did not exist and thus the Christian Democratic Unity had a unique position with its enviromentally friendly politics.

		However, numerous geographers consider Azerbaijan's and Armenia's southern border with Iran and Turkey's southern and eastern border with Syria, Iraq and Iran as the boundary between Asia and Europe because of political and cultural reasons.
		This region consists of: United Kingdom, Ireland, Iceland, Germany, Austria, Netherlands, Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Luxembourg, Liechtenstein, the Faroe Islands, German speaking part of Switzerland, the Flemish part of Belgium, the Swedish-speaking municipalities of Finland, and the South Tyrol part of Italy.

		The foreign policy of Sweden was based on public debate and commitment and, thus, to a considerable degree anchored in popular support.
		The ideal that wage policies should demonstrate solidarity with low-paid workers were abandoned and Sweden rapidly moved towards a class society structure with considerable income gaps, in stark contrast to everything the Party had previously stood for even since beginning of the century.
		Today Sweden has some 80 nationals in UN peace-keeping missions, some 800 soldiers under NATO/KFOR command in Kosovo and plans to have 1800 in the forthcoming EU rapid intervention force to be ready by 2003.

	Sweden to get EU-critical political party - EUbusiness (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		"We are presenting a political alternative for Swedish voters who have been made homeless through the establishment's treatment of the EU question," former head of Sweden's central bank Lars Wohlin and Swedish economist Nils Lundgren wrote in an article in leading Swedish daily Dagens Nyheter.
		The referendum last September on whether Sweden should swap its krona for the euro clearly showed that the political elite, which was mainly in favor of entering the eurozone, was out of touch with the majority of citizens, they wrote.
		Wohlin and Lundgren said that their party did not want Sweden to leave the EU, but that it would work to limit the Union's influence on national policies.

	Alternative Energy ~ Renewable Energy
		On Monday, BP announced the launch of BP Alternative Energy, a new business unit that will manage BP's investments in solar, wind, hydrogen, and combined-cycle-gas-turbine power generation, which could amount to $8 billion over the next decade, the company says.
		At least one of them is taking an aggressive look at alternative fuel sources, hoping to replace "some or all" of the 700 million gallons of fuel it currently uses each year with ethanol.
		Still, from the perspective of developing the global alternative energy industry (which can only come from heavy duty investment, whether in the public or private sector), that has to have a positive effect.

		However, when Sweden joined the EU in 1995, it negotiated an exemption from the ban, claiming that snus is part of Sweden’s heritage.
		In Sweden, snus is marketed as an alternative to smoking and a method of tobacco use that shows consideration for other people.
		The alleged role of snus in reducing Sweden’s smoking rates has aroused interest in the scientific community, which has already dubbed the phenomenon the “Swedish experience.” In 2000, Sweden’s male population had the lowest lung cancer prevalence in the industrialized world.

		As Sweden begins decommissioning its nuclear power plants, time is running out to find a way to make 9,000 tonnes of spent nuclear fuel safe for the next 100,000 years.
		The president of Sweden's Society for Nature Conservation, Mikael Karlsson, agrees, and says the industry for too long has concentrated on one solution, and has made compromises on safety when its model has run into problems.
		But while environmentalists are critical of the industry's failure to come up with alternative storage solutions, they have yet to present any alternatives themselves.

		In Sweden, the sale of oral snuff known as "snus" has been an important part of avoiding the lung cancer issue.
		This is very evident in cancer statistics in Sweden, where snus is widely used among men, and there is a significantly lower incidence of lung cancer than in the rest of Europe.
		The substance, which is prohibited in the rest of the European Union (Sweden got an exemption when it joined in 1995), has been used widely here for almost two centuries, and has grown in popularity in recent years.
