“The close professional and working connections the team members enjoy is very obvious from the outset, thus resulting in a certain unity of substance and coherence of style not always found in edited volumes of this kind.” • Journal of the International Society for Third-Sector Research“Europeanization in Sweden is a solid piece of work that is a worthy contribution to the field. This book is essential for anyone studying civil society in the EU or Sweden.” • Jean L. Cohen, Columbia University“This volume offers significant findings on Swedish civil society in the European context, and makes thus a relevant contribution to our understanding of the role of civil society in the EU more broadly.” • Eva G. Heidbreder, Otto von Guericke University Magdeburg
