This book examines the relationships between the Nordic social
democratic welfare system ('The Nordic Model') and physical
culture, across the domains of sport, education, and public space.
Presenting important new empirical research, it helps us to
understand how the paradoxical blend of social democracy and
liberalism in the Nordic countries influences physical culture,
which in turn contributes to a quality of life that ranks highest
in the world. Drawing on perspectives from sociology, cultural
studies, history, education, political science, outdoor studies,
and urban studies, the book explores topics such as dance education
for sport students, doping in cross-country skiing, outdoor
education, the active body, and the ideology of public parks. It
includes research material from across the region, including
Norway, Sweden, Iceland, Finland, and Denmark. This is fascinating
reading for anyone with an interest in physical culture, sport
studies, leisure studies, or outdoor studies, as well as
sociologists or political scientists with an interest in Nordic
politics, culture, and society.
