A qualitative comparison between the countries in question is done using a method of difference. Comparing Denmark, Norway, Finland and Sweden, the theories are used to analyze why radical right-wing populist parties have been in government in all of these countries, except Sweden. The results of this comparison show that a convergence of policy positions is not an adequate explanation behind the government participation of radical right-wing populist parties in the Nordic countries.
