organisationerna

Organisationerna is a Swedish term that refers to organized groups in general rather than to a single entity. It is the definite plural form of the noun organisation, and is used to talk about the set of groups in a given context—such as non-profits, associations, corporations, trade unions, professional bodies, or public authorities. The phrase signals that multiple organizations are being considered or discussed.

In public discourse, organisationerna often denotes the organized interests that participate in policy discussions, social dialogue, or service provision. The term can be analytical, pointing to how different organizations coordinate, compete, or influence decisions within a sector or society. Because it is broad, the exact composition of “organisationerna” is usually clarified by context, for example by naming the sectors, fields, or specific groups involved.

Types commonly encompassed by the term include professional associations, industry groups, labor unions, charitable or faith-based organizations, cooperatives, private companies, and government agencies or public authorities. In Sweden, organized interests have historically been involved in governance and economic life, from collective bargaining to regulatory advocacy, within a framework of formal dialogue among workers, employers, and the state.

Note that the meaning of “organisationerna” can change with context. When precision is required, it is best to specify which organizations or sector are being referred to.
