Linda Åkerström is a Head of Disarmament at Swedish Peace and Arbitration Society and an expert in Swedish weapon exportation. She has published a book "Den svenska vapenexporten", if you are interested to get the book its possible to order it through (https://www.svenskafreds.se/stod-oss/bestall-boken/). If you order it through their link you are supporting Svenska Fred as all the profit goes to the organization. However, book is also possible to order through Adlibris (https://www.adlibris.com/se/bok/den-svenska-vapenexporten-9789173438384).

During the lecture she will talk about the topics her books brings up more in-depth, such as the laws and politics surrounding the weapon exportation, as well as the behind the scenes of the weapon exportation such as scandals, consequences and cultural workers.
