In Denmark, Finland and Sweden the evolution of administrative law,
including social welfare law, has been marked by a shift towards a
stronger protection of the recipient's individual rights. The
adoption of activation policies targeting recipients of social
assistance has highlighted the tensions between decision-making
concerning the implementation of these policies and the legislative
efforts to promote the realisation of individual rights in the
field of social welfare. An examination of the legislation in
question and its implementation conditions shows that the
realisation of individual rights is subordinated to the pursuit of
organisational and other objectives. The findings of the study are
used to formulate proposals for the promotion of individual rights
based on the Nordic egalitarian model of citizenship. This critical
assessment of activation policies should be of broad international
appeal. It will be of interest to researchers in social policy, as
well as those concerned with protection of rights.

In Scandinavian countries immigration is a sensitive issue and
legislators' approach to the questions it has raised has varied
over the years. Whatever immigrant and integration policies are
adopted in a democratic society, it is clear that the legislation
and the authorities have to ensure that the individual rights of
the immigrants residing in its territory are respected. With Canada
as a point of reference, this book draws attention to weaknesses in
the regulation and implementation of integration provisions
threatening the immigrants' individual rights in the EU member
states of Denmark, Finland and Sweden. The study challenges readers
to critically review the meaning of rights and the notion of global
caring. It takes a critical look at how vulnerable immigrants fare
in a largely immigrant nation with a welfare capitalism legacy,
when compared to three European nations which claim to embrace
institutional welfare models. This book will be of great interest
to scholars and decision-makers interested in Scandinavian or
Canadian immigration and integration policies.
