U-137 svenskt politiskt och militärt agerande under kris

Sammanfattning: This bachelor thesis deal with the Soviet submarine U-137 and it's grounding in the Swedish archipelago outside the city of Karlskrona and one of Sweden?s largest naval-bases. The actions that took place in October 1981 were special because of the clear violation of Swedish territory. When the Swedish authorities later suspect nuclear armament onboard the crisis gets worse. In the thesis we have examined the Swedish politicians and military and their behaviour during the crisis. Our goal with the thesis is to try to explain why a certain decision was made and what the alternatives were. We have chosen five decisions that we find interesting because they determined much of the outcome of the crisis. To try and explain these different decisions we have chosen two theories from Allison & Zelikow's book ?Essence of Decision? (1999). These two theories are ?The Rational Actor Model? and the ?Governmental Politics Model?. We?re going to use these theories and apply them to the five decisions we chosen to analyse.
