The chapters engage with issues related to social class, political conflict, the emergence of the welfare state, public policy, and conceptualizations of equality. Throughout, the contributors discuss and sometimes challenge existing notions of the social and cultural complexity of Scandinavia. For example, how does egalitarianism in these nations differ from other contemporary manifestations of egalitarianism? Is it meaningful to continue to nurture the idea of Scandinavian exceptionalism in an age of economic crises and globalization? The book also proposes that egalitarianism is not merely a relationship between specific, influential enlightenment ideas and patterns of policy, but an aspect of social organization characterized by specific forms of political tension, mobilization, and conflict resolution-as well as emerging culturalvalues such as individual autonomy. 410 0$aApproaches to Social Inequality and Difference,$x2946-3068 606 $aEthnology 606 $aSocial structure 606 $aEquality 606 $aWelfare state 606 $aHuman rights 606 $aSociocultural Anthropology 606 $aSocial Structure 606 $aEthnography 606 $aWelfare 606 $aHuman Rights 615 0$aEthnology. 615 0$aSocial structure. 615 0$aEquality. 615 0$aWelfare state. 615 0$aHuman rights. 615 14$aSociocultural Anthropology. 615 24$aSocial Structure. 615 24$aEthnography. 615 24$aWelfare. 615 24$aHuman Rights. 676 $a306.0948 702 $aBendixsen$b Synnøve$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aBringslid$b Mary Bente$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aVike$b Halvard$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910300567703321 996 $aEgalitarianism in Scandinavia$92235972 997 $aUNINA
