This issue of the Academy’s journal describes the tenure development in Sweden during the last 500 years. The aim is to identify different actors and stages of the development, using possession rights and non-exclusive user rights as a point of departure.
To learn from failures as well as successes is crucial if programmes for landscape transformation and restoration are to succeed. The Nordic model, with stable institutions, markets and clear rules for the actors based on a democratic system, creates a stable ground for the development of a successful tenure system. This issue of the Academy’s journal describes the tenure development in Sweden during the last 500 years, using mainly Swedish-language material previously unavailable to an international readership. The aim is to identify different actors and stages of the development, using possession rights and non-exclusive user rights as a point of departure. It is clear that private ownership of forest is a contributing factor to the success of the Nordic forestry model. A closer look reveals a partly dramatic transition from the tenure forms of traditional society into present-day forms – and today the ownership model is again contested. Once secure in their tenure, the peasants started exploiting the now valuable timber resource, and later, more reluctantly, began to employ modern management methods in spite of the extremely long investment horizon in northern silviculture.

Socker är föremål för debatt inom flera olika läger. Inom folkhälsan vill man skylla en del av överviktsproblematiken på en oönskat hög sockerkonsumtion. Inom andra kretsar vill man se en ökad global frihandel med socker, vilket skulle gagna många producenter i tredje världen och leda till sjunkande priser men sannolikt då också till en ökad sockerkonsumtion. Dessa och många fler aspekter av produktion, handel och konsumtion av socker diskuterades vid KSLAs konferens den 30 mars 2006
