Nuclear physics is shortly experiencing a thrust in the direction of basic phy sics questions. Low-energy experiments assist in trying out past latest stan dard versions of particle physics. the hunt for finite neutrino plenty and neutrino oscillations, for proton decay, infrequent and forbidden muon and pion de cays, for an electrical dipole second of the neutron denote a few of the efforts to check latest theories of grand unification (GUTs, SUSYs, Superstrings, .

Social Democracy and Trade Unions 11 capacity for the trade unions is dependent on resolving the tension between trade union leaders, who are willing to offer wage restraint in return for legal or social policy concessions and the rank-and-file who may be able to block wage restraint deals by organized pressure from below. Thus corporatist arrangements, or at least outcomes, are capable of being broken by the trade unions and can be a precursor to conflict (as evidenced in the collapse of the British Social Contract in 1978/79).
This can be explained partly by the existence of alternative ways of expressing social democratic sensibilities through membership of non-LO unions and voting Sweden – Social Democracy after the Divorce? 31 for bourgeois parties that have, in the main, pursed policies analogous to the SAP . F ourth, the ‘popular movement’ tradition of class politics in S weden resulted from the ways in which the labour movement developed in parallel with other popular movements such as the temperance and evangelical movements, and this has resulted in a politics that is reformatory, educational and collective in form.
The S wedish trade unions have faced a centralized and internally disciplined employers’ organization in the form of the Svenska Arbetsgivareföreningen (SAF ) or the S wedish E mployers Confederation dominated by large firms in the export-oriented engineering sector. There are further employers’ organizations representing local and state government employers. These factors contributed to the development of a highly centralized system of bipartite bargaining underpinned by a historical class compromise.
