Sweden's public sector is under growing pressure to tackle complex challenges - from climate adaptation to social inclusion. But does it have the capacity to deliver?

What do new hospitals, universities, and transport networks have in common? They often exist thanks to partnerships between the public and private sectors.

A new study from the Center for Municipality Governance at the Stockholm School of Economics, published in The Accounting Review, one of the world's top three accounting journals, explores this question through the lens of the "controllability principle".

On September 17, the Stockholm School of Economics hosted the roundtable From Crisis to Capacity - Strategic Foresight in the Public Sector, co-organized within the SustainGov program. The breakfast seminar brought together representatives from government agencies, municipalities, academia, and civil society to discuss how Sweden can strengthen its ability to anticipate and prepare for future challenges.

This week, the Stockholm School of Economics and the Swedish Civil Contingencies Agency (MSB) launched the new Utvecklingskommuner (Innovation Municipalities) initiative in Nykvarn, one of four municipalities selected as pilot partners.
