Lieutenant general (retd) Dennis Gyllensporre is the recipent of the 2024 Bengt Abrahamsson Award.
Dennis Gyllensporre is a pioneer Swedish soldier-scholar, seamlessly blending military expertise with scholarly insight throughout an extraordinary career.
In a military career system decoupled from the Swedish University system, it has been a remarkable accomplishment that Dennis Gyllensporre has succeeded admirably as a military officer as well as a scholar. He thus embodies the soldier-scholar, a military professional category that was central in Bengt Abrahamsson’s work on military professionalism.
