The Swedish Social Democratic Labor Party (SAP) was founded more
than one hundred years ago, in April 1889. During this "century of
social democracy" Sweden has been transformed from an agrarian to
an industrial society, from a poor country to a welfare state; and
the SAP has evolved from being a lower-class movement to the
nation's leading party for more than half a century. Is Sweden's
development so special and is the Swedish labor movement unique
when viewed from an international perspective? When were the
critical decisions taken, what did the Social Democrats want to
achieve, and what have they actually succeeded in doing--especially
in light of the Social Democrats' loss of governmental power in
1991? These questions are discussed in thirteen essays addressing
economic policy, social and welfare policy, international policy,
and the party's inner structure and ideology. Two additional
chapters on historical background and the latest developments in
Sweden and some tables make this volume valuable for readers
wanting competent information about Sweden, about the development
of Swedish society, and about the most successful Social Democratic
Labor party in Europe.
