What is the source of Norway's culture of environmental harmony in
our troubled world? Exploring the role of Norwegian
scholar-activists of the late twentieth century, Peder Anker
examines how they portrayed their country as a place of
environmental stability in a world filled with tension. In contrast
with societies dirtied by the hot and cold wars of the twentieth
century, Norway's power, they argued, lay in the pristine, ideal
natural environment of the periphery. Globally, a beautiful Norway
came to be contrasted with a polluted world and fashioned as an
ecological microcosm for the creation of a better global macrocosm.
In this innovative, interdisciplinary history, Anker explores the
ways in which ecological concerns were imported via Rachel Carson's
Silent Spring in 1962, then to be exported from Norway back to the
world at the Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro in 1992. This title is
also available as Open Access on Cambridge Core.
