The usual interpretation of this phenomenon is that it occurs because of individualization. The other is that the character of collective action has changed.

The State: sociological perspectivesThis article reviews and discusses new sociological works on the Swedish state. The state (with the exception of the welfare state) was nearly absent in Swedish sociology until the beginning of the 1980's. Since that time several works, produced mainly by researchers of the third generation in Swedish sociology, have been published. These works are products of three distinct developments: the international deba…
