In the current neo-liberal political and economic climate, it is
often suggested that a large and strong state stands in opposition
to an autonomous and vibrant civil society. However, the
simultaneous presence in Sweden of both a famously large public
sector and an unusually vital civil society poses an interesting
and important theoretical challenge to these views with serious
political and policy implications. Studies show that in a
comparative context Sweden scores very highly when it comes to the
strength and vitality of its civil society as well as social
capital, as measured in terms of trust, lack of corruption, and
membership of voluntary associations. The "Swedish Model,"
therefore, offers important insights into the dynamics of state and
civil society relations, which go against current trends of
undermining the importance of the welfare state, and presents
autonomous civic participation as the only way forward.
