This is a topical, comparative study of the economic, social and
political development of Norway and Scotland since 1800. How did
the development of two small countries at the north of Europe,
whose histories were joined from about the year 795 AD - including
a 300 year alliance - nevertheless diverge sharply in the modern
era? This edited collection of essays covers various elements of
this analysis including land ownership, politics, agriculture,
industry, money and banking, local government, education, religion,
access and the outdoor life, as well as several more synthetic
chapters. Written as it is by historians, political scientists,
economists, sociologists, anthropologists and human geographers,
the book moves beyond historical narrative, and outlines elements
of a theory of divergent development between Norway and Scotland
over the long term, and so towards a novel history which will be of
interest to a wider audience. Features: focus on key periods of
intensive relationships between Scotland and Norway; new analysis
of the differences between the two countries after the medieval
period; clear information and analysis of how Norway changed after
independence from Denmark; policy ideas on 'independence' issues
such as natural resources and land rights; and, exclusive essays
from established and new scholars.
