Populist radical right protectors of the folkhem: Welfare chauvinism in Sweden

---

The article scrutinises a version of welfare chauvinism taking shape in Sweden, by concentrating
on the concept of folkhem (the [Swedish] people’s home), and examines how it was expressed
in the 2010–2014 parliamentary activity of the Sweden Democrats. It offers an analysis of how
the welfare chauvinism project is first contextualised in the party documents, and subsequently
articulated in the party-endorsed parliamentary motions. The article is an analytical
contribution to welfare studies and to analyses of the populist radical right, providing a critical
inquiry into welfare chauvinism in Sweden. The article is also an empirical contribution to the
study of the populist radical right in Sweden.
