Between consensus and contention. Economic defence, industry interests, and the funding of metal stockpiling in Sweden, 1973–1987
The turmoil of conflict and international crisis affects government as well as business interests. This article investigates how government–business relationships developed to tackle the potential problems of so-called peacetime crises that could adversely affect the country's steel and metal industries if the imports of alloy metals were disrupted in Sweden during the 1970s and 1980s. Based on extensive archival material and using an Advocacy Co…
The Nordic Model and the Directive on Adequate Minimum Wages
This article explores Sweden’s opposition to the EU Directive on Adequate Minimum Wages. Despite broad support for minimum wage legislation across Europe, Swedish trade unions and employer organisations unanimously resisted the directive, fearing that it would undermine the autonomous collective bargaining model. Although the directive includes exemptions for countries with robust collective bargaining systems, concerns persist regarding potentia…

It charts the institutional–historical development of an Employment Transition Agreement (ETA) between the bargaining cartel for white-collar unions, PTK, and the organisation for pr…

This article contributes to this subject through a study of one specific form of occupational welfare in Sweden, called Employment Security or Transition Agreements, a…
Suitable, Exploitable or Undesirable
This article explores how social status and the exploitability of ethnic groups interplays with how employers ascribe skills and suitability to different nationalities through a historical case study of a regional two-tier segment of the Swedish post-war labour market. Drawing on previous research on the connections between social status, skills perceptions and labour market outcomes, the article argues for a more nuanced view where the specific …
Migrationens kontraster [Contrasts of Migration]
In the autumn of 1949, the population of Schleswig-Holstein – in the newly formed Federal Republic of Germany or West Germany – suffered from adversities caused by unemployment and housing shortage
Employer Agency and Migration Networks in Post-War Sweden
This article investigates the influence and agency of employers for international labour migration through a case study on networks and migration to a county in Sweden in the decades after the end of the Second World War. Earlier research has focused on the supply-side of networks, such as contacts between migrants and prospective migrants and their place of origin, and how such relations led to cumulative effects, with increased migration over t…
