Most Swedish ministers have had a solid political background

Hanna Bäck has co-authored the chapter "No More Political Insiders? Ministerial Selection in Sweden During the Post-WWII period" which was published recently in a book on technocratic ministers in the European countries.

The chapter investigates Swedish ministers' background and shows that most ministers have had a solid political background, and that the share of "technocrats" has not increased sharply.
