Since the late 1920s, social democracy has been preeminent in the politics of Sweden, Denmark and Norway, through dominant parties and ideological hegemony of the centre-left. The Nordic Model of Social Democracy relates the concept of the Nordic model to the guiding role of social democratic ideology in developing and sustaining a particular way of society, extending from the mixed economy to social and gender equality and the universal welfare state.

Moving beyond the historical account, the book also addresses a set of current and future challenges for social democrats, such as welfare state sustainability, the multicultural society, globalization and the decline of mass politics. The analysis breaks new ground by relating the recent international literature on social democracy to the distinct Scandinavian experience. It speaks out against the 'decline thesis' of the left, emphasizing instead the continuity and vitality of social democracy in the Nordic region

"This concise volume traces the development of the social democratic of the social democratic movement and parties in Denmark, Norway, and Sweden from their mid-nineteenth-century origins to the present. ... This is a well-written monograph that would enrich courses on modern Scandinavia or even European politics." (Eric S. Einhorn, Scandinavian Studies, Vol. 89 (1), 2017)
