Associative Governance in Nordic Housing

In the Nordic region, housing has been - and is still widely - regarded as an important cornerstone of the welfare state. Since the beginning of the 1980s, however, neoliberal and market-driven forces have challenged and reshaped existing arrangements, leading to profound changes in housing governance. Associative governance within the housing sector, once a strong pillar of the welfare model, has been increasingly undermined - particularly in Denmark, Sweden, and Norway.
