Summary:
"Reform and Responsibility in the Remaking of the Swedish National Pension System is a detailed study through Sweden's national pension system. With Sweden's recently reformed national pension system as the illustrative example, Nyqvist shows how new forms of governance effectively shift responsibility from state level to an individual level. She sheds light on how politicians, technocrats, and bureaucrats work to educate and foster the general public into responsible, hardworking, and financially literate citizens. This ethnographic example of how contemporary power works by way of new forms of governance, Reform and Responsibility in the Remaking of the Swedish National Pension System is an exploration into the art of governing of a large-scale governmental policy process"-- Provided by publisher. "Reform and Responsibility in the Remaking of the Swedish National Pension System is a close up and detailed study through Sweden's remade national pension system. Nyqvist examines how a policy, such as a national pension system, shifts responsibility from state to individuals and, thus, work to reconfigure the state - citizen relationship"-- Provided by publisher.
