The word “relative” is used to illustrate a tension between the independence provided by law and other regulations to Swedish state authorities and the government’s necessity to direct the performances of the actors representing “the state”."engWith permission of the license/copyright holderinstitutions électoralesindépendancetransparenceSwedendemocracyelectionsgovernment controlState authorityPolitical ethicsEthics of political systemsEthics of lawRights based legal ethicsGovernance and ethicsPreprint
