The Nordic welfare states are often seen as caring states with generous, universal care services for pre-school, elderly, challenged and sick persons. Neoliberal governance has turned these caring states into postmodern, cold care regimes reframing care and silencing aspects of care. To understand this development, we need to elaborate a broader concept of a care crisis that can be applied beyond its original definition. A reconceptualisation that views a care crisis along two dimensions: a quantitative and a qualitative dimension, that of ‘good-enough’ care.
