This book outlines the history of squatting in Sweden and analyzes
the conditions under which squatting has intensified and declined
in the country between 1968 and 2017. With close attention to the
relationship between civil society and the state in the Swedish
context, and the manner in which this relationship, together with
attendant political, media and movement-based discourses, shapes
the possibilities that exist for collective action, the author
draws on two key concepts - those of the narrative of consensus and
discourse - to present an analysis of squatting as a form of
contentious politics and the "successful" story of civil society
development as decisive for its emergence and development in the
country. A study of the way in which confrontational actors
question both the property relations inherent in capitalism and the
authority of the welfare state and its institutions, Contentious
Politics and the Welfare State will appeal to social scientists
with interests in urban studies, political sociology, squatting,
social movements and the relationship between the welfare state and
contentious social actors.
