Bok (refereegranskat)abstract
- The purpose of this article is to present some characteristics of the Swedish voluntary sector. With the help of recent research results, the voluntary sector and its wide range of activities is placed into a comprehensive structure that includes historical and cultural roots as well as the connection between the sector and the emergence of the Swedish welfare state. What is characteristic for the Swedish welfare model also explains, in important respects, the conditions of the voluntary sector and the way in which it finds articulation. However, this is not in itself a sufficient explanation if we are to understand the many-sided phenomenon represented by the Swedish voluntary sector. The role played by the tradition of popular mass movements in shaping the voluntary sector of today must also be taken into account. After a general overview in the first half of the article, two aspects of Swedish voluntary sector activities are presented to illustrate these points: the high level of volunteerism of the population and the particular character and role of voluntary organizations in the field of social care.

Frivilligt socialt arbete under omprövning
- 1995
-
Bok (refereegranskat)abstract
- Den frivilliga sektorns roll i det sociala arbetet betonas allt mer i samhällsdebatten, det märks bland annat i socialtjänstkommittens nya betänkande. Det tycks vara så att frivilligsektorns roll är under omprövning. I den här artikeln analyseras relationerna mellan det frivilligt organiserade sociala arbetet och staten . Med utgångspunkt i ett historiskt perspektiv diskuteras förutsättningarna för och konsekvenserna av att frivilligsektorn får en mer framträdande roll i produktionen av service på det sociala fältet.

Bok (refereegranskat)abstract
- Detta är en introduktions- och översiktsartikel som försöker fånga in några avgörande karaktäristika hos den svenska frivilligsektorn och sätta in dessa i ett internationellt perspektiv. Ett försök görs också att beakta något av det frivilliga sociala arbetets specifika betingelser och utformning. Här diskuteras dessutom utvecklingstendenser för sektorn i sin helhet, liksom för de sociala delarna.

The state and voluntary social work in Sweden
- 1996
-
Bok (refereegranskat)abstract
- If Sweden has been considered at all within the voluntary research tradition, it is mainly in terms of providing a state-dominated contrast to countries where the sector is said to flourish. This article questions this rather one-sided picture of Sweden, which seems to rest on weak empirical grounds, especially if the voluntary sector as a whole is analysed. The main focus of the article is, however, on social services. It is shown that, from a historical perspective, co-operation between the state and the voluntary sector seems to be a distinctive feature of Sweden, even during periods of government take-over of voluntary activities. Today the relations between the voluntary sector and the state appear to be changing to a situation in which associations are taking part in the production of welfare services to a larger extent than heretofore.

Spelar ideella och informella insatser någon roll för svensk välfärd?
- 2001
-
Bok (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Ideella och informella insatser har ofta bara en fotnotsposition vid granskningar och beskrivningar av svensk välfärd. Tidigare fanns knappast någon systematisk kunskap om området, men möjligheterna att diskutera sådana insatser och deras betydelse är nu betydligt större än för bara ett årtionde sedan.Det här kapitlet behandlar ideella och informella insatser i Sverige – hur de aktualiseras i politik och forskning, vilken omfattning de har, vad de handlar om, om de har förändrats under 1990-talet samt vilken betydelse vi bör ge dessa insatser för att nå en ökad förståelse av den svenska välfärden. I ett första avsnitt görs några begreppsbestämningar av uttryck såsom till exempel ideell respektive informell.

Bokkapitel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- The purpose of this paper is to acknowledge the role of civil society in the Swedish welfare society, which is a scarcely debated, yet ideologically charged field of study in Swedish social science. The paper will especially emphasize the level of knowledge and the role of politics in this area. The title of this paper contains two contested concepts. The concept of ‘welfare’ might have a reasonably universal understanding even though it can and should be theorized upon. Civil society is here understood to cover voluntary organizations and their actives but also informal help and care provided by neighbors, friends, colleagues and relatives outside their own household. Included in the civil society concept are also the informal networks in which people participate (Meeuwisse, 1999; Trägårdh, 1999; Jeppsson-Grassman & Svedberg, 2005; Lindberg, 2005). The emphasis in this paper is on the process, the actual efforts or actions performed. Yet the actor perspective, – the importance of organizations and individuals as representatives and opinion leaders – is not disregarded. This paper is partly based on the Swedish findings of the Nordic research overview presented in this publication in concern, and will address the questions at hand through a dual approach. One of the two approaches is a history of the civil society debate from the 1980s to the present day, where some special characteristics will be identified in the general description. The second approach is more directly based on the literature review, where tendencies in the database material as well as the produced scientific knowledge are discussed in correlation with the history of the debate on civil society. The two approaches are mutually reinforcing and work jointly in the text to arrive at the conclusions presented here about both the political and the academic debate on civil society.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The purpose of the paper is to capture a few vital features of the Swedish voluntary sector and to place them in an international perspective. The size and composition of the Swedish voluntary sector are discussed against the background of dominating theories in voluntary sector research. Special attention is also given to the role of the sector in the field of social welfare.The authors present results from comparative research projects on the voluntary sector carried out in the latter part of the 1990s. It is shown that the size of the Swedish sector is as large as in other industrialised countries, although the composition and the form of the sector differs when compared to many other countries.In weighing the importance of the sector, the authors point out that voluntary organizations make a crucial contribution in certain areas and combining work for interest and values with contributions for members and others. The characteristics of voluntary organizations and new trends within the field of social welfare are presented with the help of three ideal types.Finally, the authors discuss some conceivable scenarios for the future of the Swedish voluntary sector.
