Since the 1990's, a number of studies have documented a remarkable
high and stable amount of popular engagement in civic organizations
in Denmark, Norway and Sweden. Often these countries have been
considered deviant cases against the proliferating decline of
social capital studies. However, despite great international
interest in the Scandinavian region, the volume argues that the
civil societies and the civic engagement of these countries remain
poorly understood. Most interest in the Scandinavian welfare models
addresses the balance between state and market, but under
communicates the role played by civil society and popular
engagement in associations and voluntary organizations. The
contributions offer a coherent portrait of stability and change in
formal and informal forms of civic engagement over the past 25
years as well as offering contextualized knowledge of the history
and institutional design in which Scandinavian civil societies are
embedded.
