''Expo'' is a Swedish anti-racist magazine started in 1995 and issued by the non-profit Expo Foundation (''Stiftelsen Expo''). The magazine, issued four times a year, contains investigative journalism focused on nationalist, racist, anti-democratic, anti-semitic, and far-right movements and organisations. The people responsible for ''Expo'' make no connections with specific organisations or political parties, but work together with individuals and organisations that share ''Expos platform. The chairman of the Expo foundation is Charles Westin.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Expo Foundation Contact )〕 The magazine is headquartered in Stockholm.〔 The organisation has several parts. Expo Arkiv is an archive of far-right and anti-democratic events in Scandinavia. The archive is open to researchers, students, and individuals who need information. Expo Research is a research organisation whose members find and collect information on racist, anti-Semitic, and anti-democratic organisations in Sweden and Europe. The information comes from informants, defectors, public files, authorities, independent researchers, and so on. The people responsible for ''Expo'' closely co-operate with ''Monitor'' in Norway and ''Searchlight'' in the UK. They also exchange information with groups and magazines such as ''Antifa Infoblatt'' in Germany, ''Reflexes'' and ''CRIDA'' in France, ''Tun Balalaika'' in Russia, and ''Nigdy Wiecej'' in Poland, as well as Institute for Research and Education on Human Rights (IREHR) and Center for New Community (CNC) in the USA. ''Expo'' became widely known in Sweden in June 1996 following a string of threats and attacks directed against companies printing and selling the magazine, and organisations supporting it. The words "Inget stöd till kommunist-Expo" (''No support for communist Expo'') were painted on the wall of the Moderate Party headquarters. In response, leading tabloid newspapers ''Aftonbladet'' and ''Expressen'' printed and distributed the June 1996 issue as a free supplement, with a circulation of around 800,000 copies. Financial pressures in 1998 forced the people responsible for ''Expo'' to cease publication of the magazine and replace it with a newsletter.〔 〕 In 1999, ''Expo'' was restarted as a part of the magazine ''Svartvitt''. When ''Svartvitt'' shut down in 2003, ''Expo'' returned to publication as an independent magazine. The editor-in-chief of ''Expo'' is Daniel Poohl.〔 In 2014 the circulation of the magazine was 3,500 copies.〔 ==Stieg Larsson== Stieg Larsson, the author of the ''Millennium'' series of novels, was Expo's co-founder and editor-in-chief from 1995 until his death in 2004.〔(【引用サイトリンク】work=Expo )〕 Larsson's political convictions, as well as his journalistic experiences, led him to found the Expo Foundation, similar to the British Searchlight Foundation, with the aim of "studying and mapping anti-democratic, right-wing extremist and racist tendencies in society".〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Expo (magazine)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
