Bridging the Material-Ideational Dichotomy : - A comparative study of Sweden's World War 2 and Feminist foreign policies

Sammanfattning: In this paper I studied the influence material and ideational factors had on Sweden’s World War 2 and Feminist foreign policies and their level of interdependence. I developed independent variables based on two theoretical frameworks, Neorealism and Social Constructivism, and used a content method to analyze the data and answered my research questions by concluding that a material-ideational relationship to both the individual policies and with each other exist.
