CIVIC ENGAGEMENT IN SCANDINAVIA GEBUNDEN

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.
