The Routledge Handbook of Scandinavian Politics is a comprehensive
overview of Scandinavian politics provided by leading experts in
the field and covering the polity, the politics and the policy of
Scandinavia. Coherently structured with a multi-level thematic
approach, it explains and details Scandinavian politics today
through a series of cutting-edge chapters. It will be a key
reference point both for advanced-level students developing
knowledge about the subject, as well as researchers producing new
material in the area and beyond. It brings geographical scope and
depth, with comparative chapters contributed by experts across the
region. Methodologically and theoretically pluralistic, the
handbook is in itself a reflection of the field of political
science in Scandinavia and the diversity of the issues covered in
the volume. The Routledge Handbook of Scandinavian Politics will be
an essential reference for scholars, students, researchers and
practitioners interested and working in the fields of Scandinavian
politics, European politics, comparative politics and international
relations.
This book offers the first comprehensive analysis after the Lisbon
Treaty came into force of the EU Presidency's impact on national
administrations in the Member States of Poland, Denmark and Cyprus
before, during and after the Presidency. Placing the practical
issues facing officials and policy-makers into a "governmentality"
framework, it analyses the impact on the daily activities of
bureaucrats and ministers. The book utilises comprehensive and
novel empirical material including around 100 interviews with key
officials, documentary sources and academic literature. It uncovers
the kind of negotiations, management and coordination triggered by
the immense challenge of presiding over the EU -including being a
part of a Trio. This text will be of key interest to scholars,
students of political science, European Union studies and public
administration, as well as more broadly to Comparative Politics and
International Relations. It will also be of interest to officials
and policy members in EU Member states approaching the Presidency.

In European policy-making, the Nordic countries are often viewed as
a relatively coherent bloc; in international and European affairs
the Nordic position has traditionally been conditioned on being
different from and better than Europe. This book offers a coherent,
original and systematic comparative analysis of the relationship
between the Nordic countries and the European Union over the past
two decades. It looks at the historical frame, institutions and
policy areas, addressing both traditional EU areas such as
agriculture and more nascent areas affecting the domestic and
foreign policies of the Nordic countries. In doing so, it examines
how the Nordic approach to European policy-making has developed and
explains why the Nordic countries are similar in some respects
while differing in others when engaging with EU institutions. In
highlighting the similarities and differences between the Nordic
countries it explores what lessons - positive and negative - may be
drawn from this approach for the Nordic countries and other small
states. This book will be of interest to scholars, students and
practitioners engaged with the Nordic Countries, EU politics and
policy-making, European politics and comparative politics.

The surprise decision expressed by the British people in the
referendum held in June 2016 to leave the European Union was
remarkable. It also presents a "natural experiment" where the
exposure of a society to an extraordinary event allows scholars to
observe, in real time in the real world, the interaction of
variables. The Routledge Handbook of the Politics of Brexit takes
stock of what we know in the social science community about the
Brexit phenomenon so far and looks to make sense of this remarkable
process as it unfolds. The book asks simple questions across a
range of areas and topics so as to frame the debate into a number
of navigable "subdiscussions", providing structure and form to what
is an evolving and potentially inchoate topic. As such, it provides
a systematic account of the background for, the content of, and the
possible implications of Brexit. The handbook therefore does not
examine in detail the minutiae of Brexit as it unfolds on a
day-to-day basis but raises its sights to consider both the broad
contextual factors that shape and are shaped by Brexit and the
deeper sources and implications of the British exit from the
European Union. Importantly, as interest in Brexit reaches far
beyond the shores of the United Kingdom, so an international team
of contributors examines and reveals the global implications and
the external face of Brexit. The Routledge Handbook of the Politics
of Brexit will be essential reading and an authoritative reference
for scholars, students, researchers and practitioners involved in
and actively concerned about research on Brexit, British politics,
European Union politics, and comparative politics and international
relations.
