IS-ANHÄNGARE OCH RÄTTEN TILL MEDBORGARSKAP : En kvalitativ studie om samhällsdebatten i tre av Sveriges största nyhetstidningar gällande medborgarskap för IS-anhängare

Sammanfattning: Previous research, which addresses the view of the revocation of citizenship for terrorist-related persons, is seemingly critical. It illustrates a lot of problems that an initiation of this action can cause, but despite this, a social debate is underway in Sweden about introducing this particular opportunity. What is really advocated in the Swedish social debate regarding this? The purpose of the study is, by using an argumentative analysis, to see which recurring themes and arguments are expressed in the Swedish social debate. These are then linked to socialistic, liberalistic and conservative views of citizenship in terms of a discussion. The results of the study shows that a number of themes and arguments are visible in the social debate, where it is argued about everything from IS-supporters being citizens regardless of action, to not having the right to take part in the society at all. The majority of the debaters are in favor of some types of action. The conclusion points to the fact that a conservative approach in the examined social debate is dominant, based on that the arguments mostly advocates some kind of action and responsibility. Given that radicalization is a result of exclusion, the conclusion also sheds lights on that lowering the evidence requirements would probably be the most optimal solution for Sweden when it comes to dealing with returning IS-supporters.
