They shall first briefly compare the status of the welfare state around 1990 with that of 1997; to be followed by an account of the economic and political contexts of the four countries in the 1990s; and a summary review of reforms undertaken or unederway. They end by a comment on why things have changed (or not) in the Nordic welfare states in the 1990s.
