Abstract [en]

This study is a poststructural policy analysis of the Swedish governmental writing called Politics for Global Development in the Implementation of Agenda 2030. The writing is the most recent Swedish development policy and is built upon agenda 2030. The method that is used in this thesis is described by Carol Bacchi and called WPR. It is used to identify problem representations in policies and the discourses that are used in the formulation of problems. The findings of the study shows that the liberal discourses apparent within Agenda 2030 are evident in the Swedish development policy along with liberal feminism which is dominant in contemporary Swedish foreign policy. Findings of other poststructural studies highlight discourses of modernity and orientalism within the dominant development paradigm, which are shown to inform Swedish development policy as well.
