description: Europeanization has become a frequently used word, both in the everyday debate about society and in social science literature. Drawing from both European integration theory and new institutional organization theory, this study investigates to what extent the changes in the Swedish defense industry policy area from 1989-2001 are part of a process of Europeanization. It analyzes the creation of a European defense industry market, the question of Swedish defense equipment supply, and examines the most important actors in the Swedish defense equipment supply process, including the role and organization of the Swedish Defense Material Administration. A small comparison between developments in Sweden and developments in France and the UK is also made to enable a discussion of what is unique in the Swedish development.
