As national welfare states across Europe face increasing pressures, the role of civic society organizations in delivering essential services and fostering mutual responsibility is undergoing re-evaluation. This comprehensive volume, edited by Aila-Leena Matthies, critically examines the unique contributions of Nordic civic society organizations to welfare services. It provides a detailed overview of existing research from the five Nordic countries, featuring both comparative analysis and focused national perspectives.

The book delves into the continued relevance of Nordic welfare traditions amidst the challenges posed by a global market economy, questioning whether welfare organizations can still ensure full citizenship for vulnerable populations. By connecting the Nordic debate to a broader European context, it explores the potential for the Nordic model to offer insights and serve as a framework for the future of welfare services across Europe.
