This book analyses the Nordic constitutional systems of Denmark,
Finland, Iceland, Norway and Sweden in a comparative context. It
has two main aims: first to fill a gap in the literature by
providing an accessible English language account of the Nordic
constitutions, and second to provide a comparative analysis of
them, revealing their similarities and differences within their
political, historical and cultural contexts. In this respect, the
book challenges the assumption that the Nordic countries form a
homogeneous constitutional system due to their cultural and
historical affinities, a view not necessarily supported by a close
comparative examination. A key issue is EU membership -where the
Nordic countries have made different choices at different times -
and the book will show how this has affected the individual
countries and whether a divide between EU member states (Denmark,
Finland and Sweden) and non-members (Iceland and Norway) has
appeared. Another key issue is how the ECHR has impacted the Nordic
constitutional systems and whether the convention draws the Nordic
systems closer to each other. The book represents a first of its
kind in the English language, and will provide constitutional
scholars with a valuable comparative resource on the Nordic region.
