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. 410 0$aPalgrave Studies in the History of Social Movements Series 606 $aSocial movements$zSweden$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aWelfare state$zSweden$xHistory$y20th century 607 $aSweden$xPolitics and government$y1973- 615 0$aSocial movements$xHistory 615 0$aWelfare state$xHistory 676 $a303.48409485 701 $aHill$b Helena$01364504 701 $aPinto$b Andrés Brink$01364505 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910720084103321 996 $aSocial Movements in 1980s Sweden$93385690 997 $aUNINA
