This book explores the ways in which representative democracy works
in two neighbouring collections of European states: the Nordic
(Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway and Sweden) and the Baltic
(Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania). Starting from a Nordic vantage
point, contributors explore the extent to which aspects of politics
function similarly or dissimilarly across the two groups of
democratic states, acknowledging the differences in models of
democracy that occur within each group. Authors explore the
possibility that some of the apparently successful institutional
features of Nordic politics have somehow influenced politics in the
Baltic states, despite the considerable contextual differences
between the two groups. The Nordic-Baltic comparison is
particularly worthy of study, given the comparative stability of
the Nordic democracies and the half century of occupation by a
totalitarian dictatorship that the Baltic states endured. The
central, guiding questions are: how does political representation
work in countries that have a lot in common, but also a few
significant contextual dissimilarities; and what, if any,
relationships between the respective styles of democracy can be
identified? Using a variety of theories, perspectives and methods,
the empirical studies that populate the book seek to offer
reflections on these questions.
