The other other. Representations and rhetorical estrangement of anti-immigration positions in Scandinavian print media, 1970 - 2016
After the refugee crisis: Public discourse and policy change in Denmark, Norway and Sweden
The refugee crisis of 2015 can be characterised as an exogenous shock, an immigration shock, which according to institutional theory may create a window of opportunity for path-breaking policy change. In all three Scandinavian countries a range of new policy proposals were made in order to stem the incoming migration. Although the direction of policy change pointed in a similar restrictive direction, the choice of policy instruments differed, as …
When metaphors become cognitive locks: Occupational pension reform in Norway
The reform of the Norwegian pension system in the early 2000s sparked off a need to reform occupational pensions. In the private sector, this was done in negotiations in 2008. In the public sector, a similar attempt in 2009 failed, and the process was only finalized in 2018. We aim to show how discourse, and the way the issues were framed through narratives and metaphors, affected the reform processes in 2008/2009. We outline the significance of …
Cooperation and Conflict the Nordic Way: Work, Welfare, and Institutional Change in Scandinavia
The activating profession: Coaching and coercing in the welfare services

The purpose of this paper is to explore the consequences of more active and individualised welfare policies for conceptualisations of professionalism and competence in the welfare services. Design/methodology/approach The primary data are 25 qualitative interviews with street-level bureaucrats (SLBs) conducted in two local offices in The Norwegian Labou…
Change and Resilience in Welfare State Policy. The Politics of Sickness Insurance in N orway and S weden
This article compares the processes of reforming sickness insurance in N orway and S weden. Despite the many similarities between the N orwegian and S wedish welfare states, they have taken different paths when it comes to reforming their sickness insurance systems. In the period between 1990 and 2010 S weden changed its wage replacement levels and levels of employer financing several times, while in N orway they remain basically unchanged since …
From Economic Incentives to Dialogic Nudging - The Politics of Change and Inertia in Norwegian Sickness Insurance
In 1978, Norway established a sickness insurance with no waiting days and full wage compensation. For the past thirty years, Norwegian authorities have repeatedly attempted to change this incentive structure in order to reduce comparatively high sickness-absence levels, but with little success. Thus, Norway seems to exemplify the retrenchment literature's diagnosis of fiscally unsustainable welfare states whose attempts to reduce costs are blocke…
Norway: The Land of the Golden Mean
Differences between Norwegians and immigrants did not initially preoccupy the founders of the welfare state. In the post-WWII period, the immigrant proportion of the population was extremely small, and, with the exception of returning Norwegian–Americans and a few scattered refugees from eastern and central Europe, practically no one came to Norway from outside northern Europe. In 1967, 400 employed inhabitants from Africa and Asia were registere…
Immigration Policy and the Scandinavian Welfare State 1945–2010
This book explores the historical development of post-war immigration politics in Norway, Sweden and Denmark from the perspective of the welfare state, examining how welfare states with high ambitions
Changing teams: A Participant Perspective on Citizenship Ceremonies
Several European countries of immigration have recently introduced citizenship ceremonies on either a mandatory or voluntary basis. Yet, little is known about how the target group for such ceremonies experiences them, and to what extent citizenship ceremonies achieve their goals of contributing to a greater sense of belonging. In this article, we analyse interviews with more than 50 newly naturalised Norwegian citizens about their reasons to atte…
Migrants in the Scandinavian Welfare State: The emergence of a social policy problem
During the 1990s and more so after the turn of the century, the authorities and the public in Scandinavia have become increasingly concerned about the pressure on welfare inflicted by the immigration of people with low skill levels from countries in the South. A large proportion of these newcomers have proven difficult to integrate in the Scandinavian labour market, which is characterised by high demands for skills and a compressed wage structure…
If work is out of sight. Activation and citizenship for new refugees
Activation has become an important paradigm for social policies in Europe. New migrants and refugees especially constitute a category with particular problems in accessing the labour market, and have thus become a prime target group for activation in some countries. The article addresses the tension between aims of employment and economic self-sufficiency, and social inclusion and participation in a wider sense. Using data from the implementation…
Dealing with the Dilemmas: Integration at the Street‐level in Norway
In Norway, as elsewhere in Europe, the debates about immigration, increasing cultural diversity and the need for integration, are heated and polarised. For welfare state workers and institutions, the perceived task and challenge of integration has to a large extent been to both provide space for cultural diversity and to promote social equality through participation in the labour market, education, and civil society. Amidst all this ongoing debat…
‘For Women and Children!’ The Family and Immigration Politics in Scandinavia
The immigrant family has become a key site of conflict in Scandinavian debates about integration, multiculturalism and ethnic relations. Much-publicised instances of forced marriages, genital mutilation and honour killings have created moral panics where patriarchal immigrant cultures and family structures appear as the major culprits. One popular response is to make claims for more demands on immigrants to acculturate, with less tolerance of cul…

But they are Norwegians!’ Talking about culture at school
Although heavily debated and sometimes rejected in the scholarly debates, notions of culture and identity have to a large extent become the framework through which to understand the realities, effects and implications of transnational migration for European societies as well as for migrants themselves. Drawing on ethnographic data from a Norwegian primary school which presents itself as multicultural and on textual data from the wider political d…
Women and children first!’ Anti-immigration parties and gender in Norway and the Netherlands
Immigration, multiculturalism and citizenship policies have deeply divided political parties in Western Europe. In Norway and the Netherlands these divisions have been exploited successfully by radical-right populist parties. Akkerman and Hagelund compare the ideas and policies of the Norwegian Fremskrittspartiet (Progress Party) and the Dutch Lijst Pim Fortuyn (List Pim Fortuyn) with regard to cultural diversity, immigration and citizenship poli…
Why It Is Bad to Be Kind. Educating Refugees to Life in the Welfare State: A Case Study from Norway
In Norway, as elsewhere in Europe, the aim of policy‐making is to ensure the integration of immigrants into mainstream society. This paper focuses on one of the most concrete and practical measures Norwegian authorities have ever taken in this field, namely the recent establishment of a compulsory two‐year introduction programme for newly arrived refugees. This is an activation‐style programme involving both a financial and an educational compone…

A matter of decency? The Progress Party in Norwegian immigration politics
This article is about the Progress Party and the part it plays in Norwegian immigration politics. The Progress Party has been pivotal in bringing immigration onto the political agenda in Norway, and has won considerable support for its anti-immigration views. Immigration is often seen as one of the most conflict-laden issues in Norwegian politics, and the Progress Party is at the heart of such images. In another sense, however, the Progress Party…
