AB In this paper we will undertake a long-term analysis of the evolution of theSwedish welfare state, seeking to explain that evolution through the use of asystemic approach. That is to say, our approach will consider the interrelationsbetween economic growth (EG), the socio-political institutional framework(IF), and the welfare state (WS) − understood as a set of institutionsembracing the labour market and its regulation, the tax system, and the socalled social wage − in order to find the main variables that elucidate itsevolution. We will show that the expansive phase of the Swedish welfare statecan be explained by the symbiotic relationships developed in the WS-EG-IFinteraction; whereas the period of welfare state retrenchment is one result ofchanges operating within the socio-political (IF) and economic (EG) bases.
