This open access book discusses the emergence and development and in some cases also the disappearance of social movements and activism in Sweden during the 1980s. Its aim is to nuance and problematize the image of the 1980s as unilaterally dominated by right-wing politics and neoliberalism as well as the idea of a conflict-free Scandinavian model. The 1980s have often been described as a period when the influence of radical-left movements during the 1970s diminished. Instead this book argues that the 1980s was a decade in which new radical social movements emerged in opposition to the prevalent political order including the nuclear disarmament movement the women's movement anti-fascist movements and the punk and environmental movements. The authors also demonstrate how issues such as squatting nuclear resistance rent strikes and the environment included a variety of contentious collective action. Sweden therefore presents an interesting example of how resistance and conflict in a strong welfare state have been influenced by contentious social movements. Placing Sweden within the wider context of Scandinavia and Europe this edited collection makes an important contribution to the history of social movements.
