Bildt Blog

Carl Bildt, the Swedish politician who was Sweden's prime minister between 1991 and 1994, and whose government signed the 1995 accession of Sweden to the European Union, undertook far-reaching liberalization and structural reforms to improve Sweden's economic competitiveness, and modernized its old-style welfare system, has a blog.

Bildt's comments on the French referendum result and its consequences are worth reading. IUn particular, he points out that what has happened represents, among other things, the revolt of the rural against the urban.
