Sweden: From “Third Way” to Joining the European Union

Abstract: Abstract Sweden is a small, geographically isolated country, with a homogeneous population of only just over nine million. Its isolation contributes to low military expenditure and cultural homogeneity that was conducive to egalitarianism, state—private sector cooperation, and minimization of class conflict and exploitation of labor. Without any great social class conflict, Swedes accepted a commitment to economic security, wage solidarity, and social cohesion and integration.
