social right or investment opportunity? : a study of the financialization of housing in Sweden as well as a mapping of actors' perspectives and relation to the phenomenon (English)
Abstract [sv]

finansialiseringstendensen ses idag på en global skala. Effekterna av denna utveckling har haft unika utslag i Sverige med dess historiskt starka bostadssociala politik. Syftet med rapporten är att undersöka dessa effekter samt lyfta olika perspektiv på utvecklingen. 

Tidigare forskning lyfts för att skapa en uppfattning om vad fenomenet innebär inom en svensk kontext vilket sedan utvecklas vidare i två intervjuer med forskare inom ämnet. Vyer på vad som skett och vad det innebär för Sveriges framtida bostadsförsörjning skiljer sig mellan olika aktörer. Denna subjektivitet kring finansialiseringens utveckling undersöks genom fem intervjuer med representanter från intresseorganisationer, politiska partier, och Stockholm kommun. 

Rapporten visar på att det saknas en gemensam förståelse och språk för att diskutera finansialisering, allmännyttans roll har begränsats, det behövs tydligare lagstiftning kring vad som gäller i frågor relaterat till renovering och nyproduktion, och att det har skett en polarisering i vyerna kring hur bostadsförsörjningen och bostadsmarknaden bör hanteras i Sverige.

Abstract [en]

Today's urban planning is increasingly controlled and influenced by private actors with profit incentives and this includes the housing sector. The trend of increasing influence of financial actors which result in structural changes to markets and systems is referred to as ‘financialization’ and this trend is today seen on a global scale. The effects of this development have had unique effects in Sweden with its historically strong social housing policies. The purpose of this report is to investigate these effects and highlight different perspectives on the development.

Previous research is presented to gather an idea of what the phenomenon means within a Swedish context, which is then further explored in two interviews with researchers of the subject. Views on what has happened and what it means for Sweden's future housing supply differ between different actors. This subjectivity around the development of financialisation is examined through five interviews with representatives from interest organizations, political parties and Stockholm municipality.

The report concludes that there is a lack of a common understanding and language for the discussion of financialization, public housings role has been diminished, clearer legislation is needed regarding what applies in matters related to renovation and construction of housing, and that there has been a polarization in the views regarding how the housing supply and housing market should be handled in Sweden.
