Abstract	Immigration radically challenges certain forms of European national and welfare states. It seems that the model of welfare state, which is most radically challenged by the immigration, is the Nordic model. Nordic countries perform well with regard to many aspects of social capital, such as level of trust and the density of membership in voluntary associations. However, the strong social capital of Nordic welfare seems to be exclusionary, where immigrants’ integration—and especially labour market integration—is concerned. Therefore it is a challenge for the cohesion of the Nordic societies and for the future of the Nordic welfare model to reduce the negative effects of the strong social capital without harming its positive effects.L’immigration met rudement à l’épreuve certaines formes européennes de l’Etat providence et de l’Etat nation. Le modèle de l’Etat providence le plus éprouvé par l’immigration semble être le modèle nordique. Les pays nordiques se placent bien quant à plusieurs aspects du capital social dont le niveau de confiance et l’adhésion aux associations volontaires. Toutefois, la grande capacité en capital social du système d’assistance sociale nordique semble être caractérisée par des pratiques limitatives en ce qui concerne l’intégration des immigrants—surtout l’intégration au marché du travail. La cohésion des sociétés nordiques et l’avenir du modèle nordique de l’Etat providence affrontent la difficulté de réduire les effets négatifs du capital social sans pour autant porter atteinte à ses aspects positifs.
