It is argued that the main girders of Sweden's broad-reaching welfare state have been undermined by restructuring the productive system, entailing both endogenous and exogenous factors, and by the strategic re-directioning of the Social Democrati Party and the Confederation of Manual Labor Unions. In conclusion, it is suggested that the peculiarities of this model - faced with the problems of various orders discussed in this article - have grown so indistinct that today it is plausible to question the singularity of Sweden's model of social and political development.
