abstract: 'The article is an analysis of processes of social change in the Swedish
|
|
|
|
society during the 1990''s. Changes in systems of production and changes
|
|
|
|
in identity processes are seen as central components fur understanding
|
|
|
|
the transformation of the welfare state. These processes of social
|
|
|
|
change can be sociologically underwood by reference to the important
|
|
|
|
impact on social policy of current theories of economic growth as well
|
|
|
|
as the relationship between economic theories and theories of the state,
|
|
|
|
Changes in the processes of production are discussed by looking at
|
|
|
|
theories of marginalisation and social exclusion as well as problems of
|
|
|
|
work and maintaining a liveable income. Changes in the creation and
|
|
|
|
development of identity are discussed by focusing on the public identity
|
|
|
|
as it is formed by citizenship and the democratic development of the
|
|
|
|
individual as a unique subject. The public identity, which is a
|
|
|
|
collective identity, is analysed against a market identity where the
|
|
|
|
individual is defined as a consumer or as a client and thereby
|
|
|
|
objectified and isolated,
|
|
|
|
The framework for the article is a four-step model of welfare state
|
|
|
|
transformation which occured in Sweden as well as in other countries
|
|
|
|
during the last decade. The first step is increased inequality in wages
|
|
|
|
as well as income distribution, the second step is narrowing of social
|
|
|
|
rights and entitlements, the third step is lowering wages, and the last
|
|
|
|
step is a redefinition of the concept of employment.'
