This book seeks to reassess and shed new light on pan-nationalisms in general and on Scandinavianism/Nordism in particular, by seeing them as possible futures and as interconnected ideas and practices across and beyond Europe. An actor- and practice-oriented approach is applied at the expense of more essentialist categorisations of what pan-nationalism is, or is not, to underline both the synchronic and diachronic diversity of various pan-national movements. A range of expert international scholars discuss encounters, transfers, similarities and differences among pan-movements in Norden and Europe based on a broad empirical material, focusing on Scandinavianism/Nordism, pan-Slavism, pan-Turanism, pan-Germanism and Greater Netherlandism, and the position of Britishness in Great Britain. This book will be of key interest to scholars and students of nationalism, European history, European studies and Scandinavian studies, history, social science, political geography, civil society and literary studies.

This book examines Nordic civil societies from 1800 until today, by studying the roles of voluntary action and associations in the Nordic region and beyond.Through its diverse and historically informed analyses of civil society, traditionally held to be a vital and integrated part of the democratic development of the region, this book actively engages in discourses addressing the development of Norden, the “Nordic Model” of society and the idea of a “Nordic exceptionalism”. Focussing on the state-civil society nexus and transnational dimension, the book offers a comprehensive multidisciplinary discussion through twelve case studies, and analyses what – if anything – is particularly Nordic about civil society developments in the region, whether and how the Nordic countries stand out in terms of civil societies’ roles and impact, and the blurred boundaries between civil society, the state and the market.This book will be of key interest to scholars and students of Nordic or Scandinavian Studies, European Studies, Civil Society Studies, Political Science, History, Sociology and Literary studies.The Open Access version of this book, available at www.taylorfrancis.com, has been made available under a Creative Commons Attribution-Non Commercial-No Derivatives (CC-BY-NC-ND) 4.0 license.

This illuminating Handbook explores transnational Nordic cooperation from a broad historical and political perspective. It examines the entangled and variegated history of Nordic collaboration from early civil society initiatives to comprehensive official cooperation, as well as responses to recent challenges such as defence and foreign policy.Leading experts discuss the vast scope and variety of Nordic cooperation forms and forums operating in areas including labour market policy, the welfare state, Sami regional developments, the environment and gender equality policies. Chapters shed light on public institutions and authorities such as the Nordic Council and the Nordic Council of Ministers, reflecting on their vision for making the region the most sustainable and integrated in the world by 2030. The Handbook further investigates Nordic collaboration within the UN, EU, NATO, the Baltics and the Arctic, ultimately demonstrating that the success of the Nordic model of society is the result of long-term transnational cooperation.Students and scholars of European politics and policy, international relations, Nordic and Scandinavian studies and transnationalism will greatly benefit from this astute Handbook. Thorough and detailed, it is also an essential resource for policymakers, civil servants and politicians working in the Nordic region.

By examining episodes, reflections and trends related to inter-Atlantic encounters that challenged established norms and policies, the book brings fresh insight into the significance of transatlantic connections at certain moments in time and helps describe the development of a transatlantic public sphere and a transcultural space.This book is of key interest to scholars and students of Nordic and Scandinavian studies, American-Scandinavian studies, North American history, political theory, history of political ideas, migration studies, and more broadly to history, political science, political sociology, and literature.

Sheds new light on European and regional book markets, the development of a public sphere and the impact of new media on intellectual, social, religious and political change.How do you become a citizen? Ever since printing was introduced, being a member of society increasingly involved reading and writing: for sociability and belonging, instruction and entertainment, profit and charity, spiritual awakening and political debate. Literary practices shaped and changed identities and the organisation of society during the Long Eighteenth Century. In Scandinavia, this happened locally, as well as transnationally - reading, writing and producing texts involved entanglements within and beyond the borders of the Northern European periphery of Norway, Denmark and Sweden. Focusing on 'literary citizenship', this volume uncovers the different ways in which engagements with print have mediated and established networks and communities, identities and agencies of multiple sorts in an interconnected media landscape. The result is a complex and intriguing history of the book in the Scandinavian region. This history is, on the one hand, influenced by a European market and tradition. On the other hand, it offers an important and different case of regional and local adaptation, marked by what has been termed a 'Northern Enlightenment'. This book will be of interest to scholars of European enlightenment studies and to those who are interested in the continuing debates surrounding print culture and history.This book is available in digital format as Open Access under the Creative Commons license CC-BY-NC.This book and the research upon which it is based was supported by funds from The Research Council of Norway and the National Library of Norway.
