The welfare system during war and danger of war

The doctoral project investigates how the right to social security benefits and how the Swedish social insurance system changes during war or danger of war as well as what Sweden's constitutional preparedness looks like, namely to what degree the regulations that may be needed in those situations are prepared beforehand.

The project's focus is on the benefits that are regulated in the Swedish Social Insurance Code, including the state pension, as well as on the defence benefits that are paid to soldiers in the Swedish Home Guard and to those obligated to serve in Sweden's total defence.

The research is carried out within the framework of a collaboration between the Department of Law at Uppsala University and the Department of International and Operational Law at the Swedish Defence University.
