For all the similarities in their welfare states, the Nordic countries show significant differences in the level of marketization of publicly funded welfare services. Sweden stands out as a country with a high level of welfare state marketization, both in comparison with the other Nordic countries and in a wider international comparison. This chapter will take this difference in level of marketization between the otherwise similar Nordic countries as its starting point for a description of Sweden as a deviant case regarding the development of co-production practices. It will be argued that the exceptional levels of marketization in Sweden are leading the practice and definition of co-production on a path divergent from that in the neighbouring countries.

摘要

For all the similarities in their welfare states, the Nordic countries show significant differences in the level of marketization of publicly funded welfare services. Sweden stands out as a country with a high level of welfare state marketization, both in comparison with the other Nordic countries and in a wider international comparison. This chapter will take this difference in level of marketization between the otherwise similar Nordic countries as its starting point for a description of Sweden as a deviant case regarding the development of co-production practices. It will be argued that the exceptional levels of marketization in Sweden are leading the practice and definition of co-production on a path divergent from that in the neighbouring countries.
