Frontmatter -- CONTENTS -- FIGURES -- ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS -- INTRODUCTION -- Chapter 1 Multiple Welfare States – Histories of a Keyword -- Chapter 2 The Languages of Welfare in Sweden -- Chapter 3 The Concept of ‘Welfare State’ in Danish Public and Political Debates -- Chapter 4 The Winding Road of the Norwegian ‘Welfare State’ -- Chapter 5 The Conceptual History of the Welfare State in Finland -- Chapter 6 The Evolving Concept of the Welfare State in Icelandic Politics -- CONCLUSION -- INDEX
Summary: In discussions of economics, governance, and society in the Nordic countries, “the welfare state” is a well-worn analytical concept. However, there has been much less scholarly energy devoted to historicizing this idea beyond its postwar emergence. In this volume, specialists from Denmark, Finland, Sweden, Norway, and Iceland chronicle the historical trajectory of “the welfare state,” tracing the variable ways in which it has been interpreted, valued, and challenged over time. Each case study generates valuable historical insights into not only the history of Northern Europe, but also the welfare state itself as both a phenomenon and a concept.
