Sweden, as many other prosperous nations, is presently reassessing
its national goals, political culture and collective identity.
Newer groups in society are demanding equal treatment, and others
whose struggles for recognition are older and unwon, are
successfully mobilizing support for political change. Social
democratic political hegemony has been eroded and other new
political forces are now reinterpreting past political ideas and
methods of action and a need for historical perspective. This book
analyses the history of Swedish civil society. Social movements and
interest organizations have played crucial roles in Sweden. Their
history is also Swedish history and concerns struggles for
political recognition and welfare state development and cutbacks.
Theoretical developments within sociology, social psychology,
public choice and political science are combined to enrich the
analysis. Some of the theoretical elements used in this book are
organizational waves of development, organizational life cycles,
political opportunity structure, and topologies of collective
action organizations. The book analyzes Swedish civil society
history from the Midas to the 1990s. Swedish civil society history
is divided into six periods. The role played by collective action
organizations in the important developments in politics, society
and economy in this one hundred and fifty year period are
described, compared and analyzed. The primary focus is the impact
of change brought about by these developments on collective action
organizations.
