Is it just me or there are A LOT of articles about how Sweden is better in doing X coming from the US and the UK recently?
What's going on here?
Frankly it seems a bit of nationalist content marketing after the 10th article I read in 3 years.
Most of the times the articles claim Sweden is doing
better X but that X could easily be applied to several other countries in Europe.
"Sweden offers free health care and education"... yeah A LOT of countries in Europe do that.
For this article too it seems the overall achievement of Sweden are shared by many other countries by somehow Sweden is being singled out.
I even googled it and found this:
https://si.se/en/annual-report-of-the-image-of-sweden-abroad-2018-summary/ https://si.se/en/annual-report-of-the-image-of-sweden-abroad...
Is there a cultural infatuation between the US/UK and Sweden? Is Sweden activally investing resources to improve their perceived image?

- onemorepasta 5y agoCan you paste this one more time please. Do it for daddy.
- throwaway_fjmr 5y agoNope, you are looking at an article from the right-wing, anti-lockdown, COVID-sceptic Telegraph ;)
- T-A 5y ago> Is Sweden activally investing resources to improve their perceived image? Yes. Look at the About page on that site you found: https://si.se/en/about-si/our-mission/ https://si.se/en/about-si/our-mission/ The Swedish Institute is a public agency that promotes interest and trust in Sweden around the world.
- anigbrowl 5y agoThe funny thing is that the people glorifying Sweden's COVID-19 response historically reject comparisons with the country in other areas like human rights, penal policy, economic model, taxation policy etc. etc.
