The study guide Principles for a Free Society is published for the first time in Swedish. Author Nigel Ashford attended the book release in Stockholm to tell about story behind the book and to answer questions.
Originally written in English by Dr Nigel Ashford, the book has been translated into multiple languages, including Russian, Spanish, Turkish – and now Swedish. Written for the Jarl Hjalmarson Foundation in the 1990’s the book was intended as a study guide in the former communist countries of Central and Eastern Europe. Today, the book is used in several of the Foundation’s program countries, including Latin America, Turkey and the Balkans.
Principles for a Free Society introduces twelve crucial principles and values that are at a base of any free, democratic and open society. The principles cover civil society, democracy, equality, free enterprise, freedom, human rights, justice, peace, private property, rule of law, spontaneous order and tolerance. (more…)

”I love to speak to young people. Older politicians are often already fixed in their ways. Young people are much more open-minded and ready to change their opinions, when faced with good arguments.” says Nigel Ashford, the author of “Principles for a Free Society”, a study guide on ideology.
Nigel Ashford passionately tells about all the young participants in the JHF courses on his book “Principles for a Free Society”, a study guide to twelve principles needed to build a free and democratic society. Translated from English into several languages including Spanish, Russian, Serbian, Azeri, Lithuanian, Turkish and, soon, Albanian, the book is frequently used as study material for the Jarl Hjalmarson Foundation’s seminars on ideology and political principles. Several times a year, Nigel Ashford himself crosses the Atlantic Ocean to chair seminars in Sweden. While the participants in the Swedish seminars primarily come from the Balkans or the former Soviet Union, the book is also used in Turkey, Latin America and Africa. Over the years, around 2500 young people have participated in this JHF programme. (more…)
