This book aims at presenting a conceptual apparatus and empirical analysis of the ways Nordic civil society is affected by social transformations by focusing on the Norwegian case. The Norwegian empirical focus allows identifying processes and factors of change that are relevant outside this context and enable us to understand, on a more general basis, the relationship between social transformations and transformations affecting the voluntary sector.
In comparative studies, the Nordic countries are top-ranking when it comes to social capital, social trust, participation in voluntary organizations, and vitality of their civil societies, but also by the high level of individualism, social mobility and by their rapid change from culturally and ethnically homogeneous societies into culturally and ethnically heterogeneous societies.
This book will make an original contribution to the field of comparative civil society studies both by increasing the available knowledge on the Nordic civil society model and by analyzing the societal transformations affecting civil society over time.
