This completely revised and updated third edition of Scandinavian
politics today follows the format of earlier editions by providing
a uniquely comparative, thematic and insightful treatment of
politics and government in the five nation-states of Denmark,
Finland, Iceland, Norway and Sweden, along with the three Home Rule
territories of Greenland, Faeroes and Aland that together make up
the Nordic region or Norden. Thirteen chapters cover Scandinavia
past and present; parties in developmental perspective; the
Scandinavian party system model; the Nordic model of government;
the Nordic welfare model; legislative-executive relations in the
region; the changing security environment and the transition from
Cold War 'security threats' to the 'security challenges' of today;
and a concluding chapter looks at regional co-operation, Nordic
involvement in the 'European project' and the Nordic states as
'moral superpowers'. This new edition will be of relevance to
topical UK debates on the Nordic model, welfare system change,
Scottish independence and the challenges facing small-state systems
in a globalised world. -- .
