Social Democracy in Europe
Socialist and Social Democratic parties leave few political observers and citizens indifferent. For several years, a certain number of actors on the political scene have presented it as a political family in crisis, lacking in imagination and dynamism, incapable of renewal and doomed to fade into insignificance. Others, on the contrary, describe it as a grouping with a promising, even brilliant future.This book does not set out to confirm either of those two visions. Its aim is to analyse in-depth the transformations which are affecting, at the current time, the different aspects of Social Democracy: new organisational models, changes in political and electoral performance, changing relation...
The Nordic Economic, Social and Political Model
The Nordic Model is the 20th-century Scandinavian recipe for combining stable democracies, individual freedom, economic growth and comprehensive systems for social security. But what happens when Sweden and Finland – two countries topping global indexes for competitiveness, productivity, growth, quality of life, prosperity, and equality – start doubting themselves and their future? Is the Nordic Model at a crossroads? Historically, consensus, continuity, social cohesion, and broad social trust have been hailed as key components for the success and for the self-images of Sweden and Finland. In the contemporary, however, political debates in both countries are increasingly focused on risks...
Petite encyclopédie de culture générale
Loin d’être une vaine accumulation de connaissances disparates, la Culture générale se veut une interrogation complexe et rigoureuse sur le monde. Elle est le produit du regard croisé de disciplines qui, toutes, à leur manière, réfléchissent, questionnent, éclairent la réalité qui est la nôtre. La Petite encyclopédie de Culture générale aspire à mettre en commun l’apport de l’histoire, de la philosophie politique, du droit public, de la science politique mais aussi de la littérature, des beaux-arts, de la musique et du cinéma. Chacun de ses 600 articles – de « Administration » à « Zweig » – propose un savoir factuel indispensable mais surtout une analyse que viennent compléter des citations et des références permettant à chacun d’approfondir sa réflexion. Rédigée par enseignants et membres de la haute fonction publique dans une optique généraliste et avec un souci de clarté, cette Petite encyclopédie s’adresse donc aussi bien aux étudiants qu’aux citoyens en attente de la mise en perspective d’une culture ouverte et diverse.
Folk i rörelse
I år firar den svenska demokratin hundra år. Många ser detta som slutet på en given utveckling. Kjell Östberg skriver istället levande om hur vår demokrati är ett resultat av att människor sluter sig samman i kamp för att gemensamt skapa förändring, från Sundsvallsstrejken 1879 till Fridays for future idag.
The Nordic Model of Social Democracy
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.
Beyond Welfare State Models
Welfare state models have for decades been the gold standard of welfare state research. Beyond Welfare State Models escapes the straightjacket of conventional welfare state models and challenges the existing literature in two ways. Firstly the contributors argue that the standard typologies have omitted important aspects of welfare state development. Secondly, the work develops and underlines the importance of a more fluid transnational conceptualisation. As this book shows, welfare states are not created in national isolation but are heavily influenced by transnational economic, political and cultural interdependencies. The authors illustrate these important points of criticism with their s...
Changing Social Equality
Taking a comparative perspective, this book casts new light on the changing inequalities in Europe.
Nordic Welfare States in the European Context
This important sequel to Nordic Social Policy (Routledge 1999) compares welfare state development over the last twenty years in Denmark, Finland, Norway and Sweden with that of Germany, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom and other Western European countries. Topics covered include: * income distribution, health inequalities and gender equality * gender policies, health and social care services and policy reaction to family changes * social security and employment policies * financing of welfare states. In the context of globalisation, ageing populations, changing employment patterns and rising inequalities, Nordic Welfare States in the European Context offers an empirical analysis of welfare adaptations and a lively discussion of the historical development of European social policy. It finds a greater ambiguity regarding variation and trends than is commonly suggested. Contrary to expectation, there is little evidence of the Europeanisation of Nordic welfare states, rather the reverse. The comparable and empirical data used in this study make it a unique contribution to understanding current trends in European social policy.
Gender Equality and Welfare Politics in Scandinavia
This book examines the meanings of gender that underpin policies in the Scandinavian welfare states, historically and today, and raises the question whether the hallmark of the Scandinavian welfare model is a special combination of gender equality and gender differentiation.
