It also shows that this was a contingent process, which was marked by conflicting answers to the moral question of how to live and how to act. Beginning with the expansion of the subway system in postwar Stockholm, the article explores how its development aligned with ideals of collectivism and social welfare. It then analyses the use of cultural and commercial policies, as well as disciplinary strategies to educate passengers into conforming and informed commuter citizens. Finally, the article addresses how countercultural protest groups challenged these prescribed subject positions by using the subway in ways that transgressed the virtues of welfare subjectivity. By materializing citizenship through Greater Stockholm's subway system, this article highlights how the terms and conditions of life in a modern Swedish welfare society were formulated, challenged and negotiated through seemingly mundane practices, such as commuting, and spaces, like Stockholm's modern subway system.","PeriodicalId":44275,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Modern European History","volume":"12 1","pages":"194-217"},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2026-05-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148285641","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this article, I trace discourse and policies in government documents over the period from the 1960s to 2018 to follow their promotion of three forms of ‘liquidation’ (afvikling). First, modernist housing and landscapes built during mid- and late twentieth century signalled tangible evidence of welfare-state triumphs and ideals of utopian social progress through construction in concrete, turning liquid concrete to solid housing. By the 1980s and 1990s, such districts were understood as ‘problems’ to be solved through legislation and social programs and possible sites of liquid capital accumulation. Finally, the government has recently argued for their demolition, yet relied on stigmatizing descriptions and dubious statistics, including the areas’ numbers of so-called ‘non-Western’ residents to promote this ‘liquidation’ ( afvikling ). In following this history, I probe how demolition evolved into a preferred and celebrated means of addressing social conditions and unwanted (modernist) architecture, along with its construction in words, not walls.","PeriodicalId":44275,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Modern European History","volume":"9 1","pages":"164-193"},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2026-05-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148285642","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Although scholars have investigated the role of architecture and housing in the expansion of the welfare state and later neoliberal restructurings, little attention has been given to the ways in which dense-low housing architecture and non-profit housing estates more broadly functioned as experimental platforms for the reimagining of community and decentralization in the context of the welfare state's crisis in the period. Focusing on two housing estates – Galgebakken and Gadekæret – the article identifies two central linkages between housing architecture, shifting welfare values and everyday life. First, the article shows how the design of Galgebakken and Gadekæret intertwined with the implementation of new models for resident democracy in the non-profit housing sector, rendering the housing estates as central sites for developing the meaning of local democracy and civic participation in everyday life. Secondly, the article points to the importance of emotions, particularly nostalgia, in shaping how non-profit housing architecture could emerge as models for community-making and civic participation in 1970s Denmark. In exploring these linkages, the article not only shows how non-profit housing estates came to work as platforms for envisioning, interpreting and practising new welfare values of community and decentralization on an everyday scale, but it also demonstrates the capacity of housing architecture in mediating new relations between materiality, emotions and welfare.","PeriodicalId":44275,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Modern European History","volume":"22 1","pages":"218-238"},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2026-05-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148285656","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Prams are frequently associated with a Nordic gender equality model, a development that this article argues is of recent vintage. For much of the late-19th and 20th centuries, prams in the Nordic countries were linked primarily with motherhood, despite shifting notions of what constituted childcare, gender roles and the welfare state. In tracing the development of prams, their usage and the narratives that surrounded them, this article examines prams’ evolution from highly gendered objects to avatars of Nordic exceptionality. Pram usage came to represent vital characteristics of a new Nordic model that developed around the turn of the millennium and which carried a reputation for equality between men and women, including in gender-neutral parenting. In following these developments, the article contends that the history of prams presents a useful perspective for exploring the material contestations and the impact of welfare states, as well as the Nordic model concept.","PeriodicalId":44275,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Modern European History","volume":"33 1","pages":"239-259"},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2026-04-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148285662","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Moving beyond institutional and policy-centred narratives, the issue highlights how welfare ideals were shaped, negotiated and experienced through the built environment, infrastructures and everyday objects. Drawing on interdisciplinary perspectives from urban and architectural history, conceptual history, and the history of experiences, the special issue demonstrates how materiality functioned as an active site where welfare discourses and practices intersected and where Nordic welfare states were made tangible in daily life. The articles of the special issue connect to three overarching research themes: the role of planning, infrastructure and architecture in forming welfare citizenship; the circulation of material representations that influenced domestic and international understandings of Nordic welfare; and the lived welfare state where citizens engaged with welfare through intimate and emotional encounters with materiality. Through case studies ranging from housing estates and subway systems to prams and baby boxes, the special issue adopts a multi-scalar perspective, revealing how materiality connected welfare processes across scales—from national planning regimes and transnational image circulation to the embodied, intimate encounters of everyday life.","PeriodicalId":44275,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Modern European History","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2026-04-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147719920","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The state has been providing Finnish families with these packages, containing various items for the new-born and the mother, without interruption since the passing of the Maternity Grants Act in 1937. Drawing from a diverse body of source material, mainly 90 written reminiscences collected in 2020/21, the article examines the ways in which the maternity package, through its use and adaptations over the decades, has become embedded in everyday life and produced relationships between the various actors and scales of the welfare state. While the baby box experience is far from universal, the package has had recurring utopian potential in the production of a shared sphere of experience: as a health tool, an everyday emotional experience and care practice, and a symbol of the Finnish welfare state. Throughout its history, the baby box has included a set of assumptions on how to parent a child, how to be a citizen or how to encounter welfare services. It has brought these expectations and wider welfare-state meanings into interaction with bodies and human relations, along with the materialities of homes and families’ intergenerational childcare practices, all the while negotiating between individual and collective experiences.","PeriodicalId":44275,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Modern European History","volume":"6 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2026-04-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147682090","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Croatia's expropriations began rapidly and were legally reinforced through numerous decrees. Despite the NDH's intrinsic corruption, which meant that many Jewish assets were stolen by individuals, I focus on the actions of the most powerful actor: the state. Although hindered by many obstacles, the authorities of the NDH remained focused on the appropriation of Jewish property throughout its existence. This article examines these institutions—their evolution, and their efforts to increase efficiency in seizing and securing expropriated property for the state. The NDH's primary agencies, including the State Directorate for Renewal and the Office for Nationalised Property, orchestrated the confiscation and redistribution of assets, aiming to consolidate Jewish property into state ownership. Ante Barić, a key figure, drove efforts to streamline expropriations, overcoming obstacles and centralising assets under state control. By the end of this process, the NDH had stolen Jewish property worth at least 5.14 billion kuna and destroyed the economic foundations of Jewish life across the state.","PeriodicalId":44275,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Modern European History","volume":"293 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2026-01-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146056140","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
