Oavsett hur regeringen har formulerat sig i propositioner och andra
styrdokument de senaste decennierna torde det vara så att dragen av
dubbelhet och rollkonflikt finns kvar i det ämbete som idag benämns
universitetskansler.

Detta har varit möjligt, dels genom hur uppdragen till myndigheten har varit formulerade, dels genom den tradition och symboliska laddning som byggts upp kring universitetskanslersämbetet och som delvis tycks vara inbäddad i ämbetets titel.

In this essay I have highlighted a number of areas that are of concern
and give us reason to remain vigilant and prepared to act quickly, collectively
and clearly - and always with consideration of the core values
of democracy, which it is our joint task to protect. However, there are
also positive things that are worth pointing out. Swedish democracy
stands up strongly in international comparisons. We have begun the rebuilding
of our total defense and we as a nation are very united behind
the idea that imperialist powers do not have the right to create spheres
of interest and attack neighboring countries in violation of international
law. We also stand united behind the effort to give Ukraine the support
it needs. By joining NATO, we stand stronger together with others in a
defense alliance, whose effect is deterrent and thus peacekeeping. The
international cooperation to create democratic resilience and to counteract
information threats is continuously strengthened. Within the EU,
the term FIMI (Foreign Information Manipulation and Interference) has
been established which provides a good framework and starting point
for continued work. In recent years we have seen a markedly increased
public awareness of how information can be used as a weapon even in
peacetime. Of course, we are by no means finished. This is work that we
need to continue - together and continuously - to create resilience and
the ability to protect our open democratic society, the free formation of
opinions and Sweden’s freedom and independence.
