	Modernization of Sweden - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The economic condition of Sweden, owing to the progress in material prosperity which had taken place in the country as the result of the Franco-Prussian War, was at the accession of Oscar II to the throne on September 18, 1872 fairly satisfactory.
		The object of the party was to bring about a fusion between the representatives of the large landed proprietors and the regular peasant proprietors, to support the interests of landed proprietors in general against those of the town representatives, and to resist Crown interference in the administration of local affairs.
		Such was the state of affairs when Oscar II of Sweden, surrounded by his late brother's advisers, began his reign.

		He left Sweden in 1710 a Christian and a Cartesian who was still willing to acknowledge a debt to Aristotle—he appreciated both system-building and the experimental sciences, and his driving intellectual quest was to rationally understand the relationship between first causes and ends without being forced into a determinism that eliminated freedom.

		Although the emergence of the “modern” or “professional” or “New Style” election campaign was first described in the United States (Rosenbloom, Agranoff, Nimmo, Sabato), research on campaigns abroad has detected similar changes in an ever-growing number of countries, and the set of countries whose campaigns are said to have “modernized” grows with each election cycle.
		Throughout this discussion, I have been describing a phenomenon various labeled the “modernization” or “Americanization” of electoral campaigning as “professionalization.” In addition to the reasons I have already given, it is worth noting that this terminology is not unique to me but has been used by previous scholars as well (Rosenbloom and Kayden, for example).
		Judging from published studies of modern campaigning, the most plausible argument would be that conservative parties have been quicker to adopt the new techniques than their center-left or social democratic peers (the US Republican and British Conservative parties might be taken as cases in point).

		Abstract: The subject of the study is movements that were critical of modernization in Sweden at the beginning of the twentieth century.

	Winds of Change.NET: Europe's 21st Century Infantry Programs
		From my point of view the biggest problem related to the use of modern infantry from European countries is not either its equipment or transport (of a medium size force).
		The result will consist of an amphibious combined fleet (not Japanese) half the size of the American in number of ships and one third of its capacity in number of soldiers and vehicles transported, which is really big for European standards.
		In my opinion the problem is that in a modern battlefield today all military units have to be tangled together with advanced information systems that in many cases are based in space.
