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.
Anna Meeuwisse is professor of social work at Lund University, Sweden. One of her research areas concerns the changing roles of civil society organizations in the welfare state. She has been engaged in several research projects regarding civil society, advocacy, and transnational social movements in the health- and welfare area.
