Since the 1990's, a number of studies have documented a remarkable high and stable
amount of popular engagement in civic organizations in Norway, Sweden, and Denmark.
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
