The Nordic countries Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway and Sweden are
frequently considered a distinct group of countries in political
science studies. The term Nordic model(s) is sometimes used to
describe the policies pursued by these countries. The aim of the book
is to examine whether there is one or several Nordic model(s), whether
there have been any changes over time in the distinctiveness of the
Nordic countries, and when and why the Nordic model(s) emerged.
Moreover, in light of recent global economic, legislative and
political integration, will the Nordic distinctiveness last? This book
examines Nordic models in several key areas of political science, such
as state- and nation-building, political parties and party systems,
determinants of party choice, representation and parliamentarism,
gender and politics, central governmental institutions, regional and
local governments, interest intermediation and interest group
representation, and welfare state and knowledge regimes. The Nordic
Models in Political Science provides an introduction for students and
academic readers interested in Nordic politics in general and Nordic
models in particular. «This is a thorough and balanced assessment of
the \'Nordic model\'. It shows that, in spite of change and
transnational convergence, distinctive features of the Nordic states
have survived, producing substantially different outcomes in important
policy fields.» - Michael Keating, Professor of Politics,
