Sweden is changing. Today, one fifth of all Swedes were born in another country. In THE GOOD COUNTRY, we set out to explore how six of the nation’s fundamental pillars – the police, the military, the citizenship, the education system, the labor market, and the cultural heritage – are reacting to the increase in immigration over the past years. But in contrast to following the people arriving in Sweden, we turn the perspective inwards. To ourselves. How do we deal with the challenges and opportunities associated with integration? What do we do?
