This book provides a comprehensive analysis of Scandinavia as a
regional international society, including the Nordic Peace and the
rise of the Scandinavian welfare state. Schouenborg aims to take
the next big step in the theoretical development of the English
School of International Relations - particularly the structural
version introduced by Barry Buzan. He analyses the formation of a
Scandinavian regional international society over a 200-year period
and develops the concepts of 'primary institutions' and 'binding
forces' as an analytical framework. In doing so, he not only offers
one of the first systematic applications of English School
structural theory, but also sheds a new comparative light on the
distinctiveness of Scandinavian international relations, and
provides a novel intervention in the debates about the emergence of
the so-called Nordic Peace. In the first part of the book
Schouenborg explains the core concepts and discusses how one may
distinguish a regional international society from the broader
global international society in which it is embedded. In the second
part he provides an in-depth study of the Scandinavian case,
focussing on the periods 1815 to 1919; 1919 to 1989; and 1989 to
2010. The Scandinavian International Society will be of interest to
students and scholars of international relations theory,
Scandinavian international relations and history, and researchers
engaged in comparative welfare state studies.
