ABSTRACT The following article examines the emerging historical legitimacy of specialised comprehensive schools in Sweden. During the 1980s, neoliberal ideas were gaining ground in Swedish educational policy. As a result, the social democratic government began to relax the rigour of the unified, state-regulated educational system. Specialised music classes played a significant role in this context, as such programmes were increasingly considered models for specialisation and deregulation. The establishment of specialised music classes in Sweden was symptomatic of the national adoption of neoliberal principles in education policy. The case study design uses qualitative document analyses of archive materials including public investigations, minutes of political meetings, and newspaper debates. The discursive legitimation of specialised comprehensive education is seen as dependent on three interrelated frame factors: ideology, economics, and law. Within this framework empirical knowledge of the transformative educational policy of the 1980s is analysed.

综合教育中的专业音乐课：瑞典从社会民主统一向新自由主义多样性转变的案例研究

摘要 以下文章探讨了瑞典专业综合学校新兴的历史合法性。在 1980 年代，新自由主义思想在瑞典的教育政策中占据一席之地。结果，社会民主主义政府开始放松统一的、国家监管的教育体系的严格性。专业音乐课程在这方面发挥了重要作用，因为此类课程越来越被视为专业化和放松管制的典范。在瑞典建立专门的音乐班是国家在教育政策中采用新自由主义原则的征兆。案例研究设计使用档案材料的定性文件分析，包括公共调查、政治会议记录和报纸辩论。专业综合教育的话语合法化被视为依赖于三个相互关联的框架因素：意识形态、经济和法律。在这个框架内，分析了 1980 年代变革性教育政策的经验知识。
