Title: Socialrätt under omvandling – om välfärdsstatens och solidaritetens gränser
Edited by: Thomas Erhag, Pernilla Leviner, and Anna-Sara Lind 
Publisher and date: Liber förlag, 2018

The dynamics of solidarity and the welfare state are investigated in this book by twelve well-known Swedish scholars representing civil law, public law and international law. The changing prerequisites of welfare represent challenges to the concepts of territory, citizenship and fundamental rights. Being the editor that took the initiative to this book, I was also the keynote speaker presenting it in the 2018 conference on social law in Gothenburg.

Title: Sociala rättigheter i förändring – en konstitutionellrättslig studie [Doctoral Thesis]
Author: Anna-Sara Lind 
Publisher and date: Uppsala University, 2009

The constitutional status of social rights (especially the rights to social care, housing and health) is examined. The way social rights and citizenship are handled in the Swedish context is compared to the choices done in other countries such as Canada, South Africa and Finland. The new obligations put on Sweden due to EU law and public international law (human rights) are at the core of the analysis.

In 2016 the Swedish Freedom of the Press Act dating back to 1766 turned 250 years. New technical, legal and political landscapes internationally and domestically create new challenges to the “principle of openness” (offentlighetsprincipen) and they are studied in this book.

I. Österdahl 

Publisher and date: Liber förlag, 2015

My students inspired me to invite American and European scholars in law to this book as they needed to have up to date analysis of information law changes that happened due to new technical gains and new case-law from the European Courts. The interplay between national and international law is at the focus.
