Notwithstanding its many successes since 1945, the project of European integration currently faces major difficulties, from financial crises and mass immigration to the departure of the UK from the European Union. At the same time, these challenges have spurred civil society organizations within and across Europe, revealing a shared public sphere in which citizens can mobilize around refugee rights, opposition to austerity policies, and other issues. Europeanization in Sweden assembles new empirical research on how these processes have played out in one of the continent’s wealthiest nations, providing insights into whether, and how, the “Swedish model” can guide European integration.
“The close professional and working connections the team members enjoy is very obvious from the outset, thus resulting in a certain unity of substance and coherence of style not always found in edited volumes of this kind.”• Journal of the International Society for Third-Sector Research
“Europeanization in Sweden is a solid piece of work that is a worthy contribution to the field. This book is essential for anyone studying civil society in the EU or Sweden.”• Jean L. Cohen, Columbia University
“This volume offers significant findings on Swedish civil society in the European context, and makes thus a relevant contribution to our understanding of the role of civil society in the EU more broadly.”• Eva G. Heidbreder, Otto von Guericke University Magdeburg
