Like many other Western democracies, the Nordic countries have
vigorously debated whether it is necessary to find new ways of
incorporating ethnic minorities into the larger society, leading to
the need to decide whether to enter into experiments in
multiculturalism or to resist such a prospect. This edited
collection addresses the varied ways that four countries have
addressed the issue of the inclusion of ethnic minorities -
including both old minorities and recent immigrants. Because of
their robust social democratic welfare policies, these nations
constitute an important research site for exploring the ways in
which the politics of identity and recognition play out in
societies committed to redistributive politics. Put simply, can the
goals of the welfare state and those of multiculturalism coexist in
harmony? Are they capable of being mutually reinforcing? Or will
they inevitably be at loggerheads, operating in what amounts to a
zero-sum game: redistribution at the expense of recognition and
vice versa?
