Abstract

The special situation of Swedish qualitative sociology may reflect the implacable and antagonistic attitude of the “quantitative sociological establishment” which in practice controls all research funds and all power in the universities. To try for a scientific career as a purely qualitative sociology is still very risky in Sweden. This situation, together with the alliance between positivists and Marxists, helps explain the severe obstacles facing the formation of a qualitative alternative.
