Since the late 1920s, social democracy has been preeminent in the
politics of Sweden, Denmark and Norway, through dominant parties
and ideological hegemony of the center-left. The Nordic Model of
Social Democracy relates the concept of the Nordic model to the
guiding role of social democratic ideology in developing and
sustaining a particular way of society, extending from the mixed
economy to social and gender equality and the universal welfare
state. Moving beyond the historical account, the book also
addresses a set of current and future challenges for social
democrats, such as welfare state sustainability, the multicultural
society, globalization and the decline of mass politics. The
analysis breaks new ground by relating the recent international
literature on social democracy to the distinct Scandinavian
experience. It speaks out against the 'decline thesis' of the left,
emphasizing instead the continuity and vitality of social democracy
in the Nordic region
Social Democracy has long been prominent in Nordic politics through
the dominant parties and ideological hegemony of the centre-left.
This book explores the growth of social democracy and the policy
dilemmas that social democrats face today. It breaks new ground by
relating recent literature on social democracy in Europe to
Scandinavia.
