Contribution
There is a general trend in Nordic countries over the past 30-40 yers, to move from a welfare state discourse towards a competitive state discourse and therefor also to move from emphasis on education for participatory democracy towards a focus on employability. The shift has also produced a different view on school leadership. Although all Nordic societies seem to move in the same direction, the pace and foci differ from country to country. On the basis of diverse definitions of democracy at multiple levels in the educational system we describe dilemmas between system imposed demands and educational needs and point to democratic potentials in leadership.
