Rhetorics of Nordic Democracy
Author: Jussi KurunmäkiPublisher: BoD - Books on Demand
ISBN: 9522222283
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 302
Book Description
Democracy is today a concept that is overwhelmingly positively evaluated almost everywhere. A lot has been written about socio-economic and cultural backgrounds of democratic regimes as well as their institutional settings. By contrast, not much is known about the political manoeuvres and speech acts by which 'democracy' has been tied to particular regions and cultures in concrete historical situations. This book discusses a series of efforts to rhetorically produce a particular Nordic version of democracy. It shows that the rhetorical figure 'Nordic democracy' was a product of the age of totalitarianism and the Cold War. It explores the ways in which 'Nordic democracy' was used, mainly by the social democrats, to provide the welfare politics with cultural and historical legitimacy and foundations. Thus, it also acknowledges the ideological and geopolitical context in which the 'Nordic welfare state' was conceptualised and canonised. The contributors of the book are specialists on Nordic politics and history, who share a particular interest in political rhetoric and conceptual history.
Nationalism and Democracy in the Welfare State
Author: Kettunen, PauliPublisher: Edward Elgar Publishing
ISBN: 1788976584
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 264
Book Description
This multidisciplinary book unpacks and outlines the contested roles of nationalism and democracy in the formation and transformation of welfare-state institutions and ideologies. At a time when neo-liberal, post-national and nationalist visions alike have challenged democratic welfare nationalism, the book offers a transnational historical perspective to the political dynamics of current changes. While particularly focusing on Nordic countries, often seen as the quintessential ‘models’ of the welfare state, the book collectively sheds light on the ‘history of the present’ of nation states bearing the character of a welfare state.

The Growth of Scandinavian Law
Author: Lester B. OrfieldPublisher: The Lawbook Exchange, Ltd.
ISBN: 1584771801
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 394
Book Description
A study in comparative law that examines the legal systems of Denmark, Iceland, Norway, and Sweden and the forces that influenced their development. According to Orfield, the Scandinavian states are a useful area for study as unique examples of law based largely on custom and usage that owe little to Anglo-American or Continental models.
