Russia's invasion of Ukraine led to the historic decision on Swedish NATO entry and brought questions about Sweden's security high on the political agenda. The NATO process was characterized by a fast pace and quick decisions about reinforcements of Swedish defence. Which perspectives were missed on the way there – and which questions should we discuss now? What type of security is created through our membership, what security challenges remain and how can we create an inclusive and open discussion about Swedish security?
