At the same time, art projects are “nodal points” that provide entry and linkages between communities across the Atlantic. In this study, based on multi-sited ethnographic fieldwork in Canada and Iceland, I explore this argument by examining ethnic networking between Icelandic-Canadians and the Icelandic state, which adopted neoliberal economic policies between 1991 and 2008. The neoliberal restructuring in Iceland was manifested in the implementation of programs of privatization and deregulation. The tidal wave of free trade, market rationality and expansions across national borders required re-imagined, nationalized accounts of Icelandic identity and society and reconfigurations of the margins of the Icelandic state. Through programs and a range of technologies, discourses, and practices, the Icelandic state worked to create enterprising, empowered, and creative subjects appropriate to the neoliberal project.

About the Series The Studies in Applied Economics series is under the general direction of Professor Steve H.

About the Author Alexander Mabie is a sophomore at Johns Hopkins University majoring in economics and minoring in financial economics and entrepreneurship and management.

Its three main banks, Glitnir, Kaupthing, and Landsbanki, were not able to avoid the deterioration in global financial markets following the September collapse of Lehman Brothers. Ever since, many economists have questioned whether a floating currency issued by the Central Bank of Iceland (CBI) is the most suitable monetary system for the Nordic island, or if it is time for Iceland to abandon the kroná (ISK) and adopt a new monetary regime. This paper examines the prospects of introducing several alternative monetary regimes in Iceland, namely a currency board system.

  • Defamation and Insult Laws in the OSCE Region: a Comparative Study
    Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe The Representative on Freedom of the Media Dunja Mijatović Defamation and Insult Laws in the OSCE Region: A Comparative Study (Commissioned by the OSCE Representative on Freedom of the Media) March 2017 Author/Lead Researcher: Scott Griffen, Director of Press Freedom Programmes, International Press Institute Managing Editor: Barbara Trionfi, Executive Director, International Press Institute 1 About This Study This study examines the existence of criminal defamation and insult laws in the territory of the 57 participating States of the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE). In doing so, it offers a broad, comparative overview of the compliance of OSCE participating States’ legislation with international standards and best practices in the field of defamation law and freedom of expression. The primary purpose of the study is to identify relevant provisions in law. Although the study does include examples of the usage of these provisions, it is not an analysis of legal practice. Where prudent, the study provides basic information about national courts’ interpretation of the law insofar as is necessary to understand the objective component of the provision. However, due to constraints of time and resources, the study does not delve into court standards on application in any great detail. The study is divided into two sections. The first section offers conclusions according to each of the principal categories researched and in reference to international standards on freedom of expression. The second section provides the detailed research findings for each country, including relevant examples. As the study’s title suggests, the primary research category is general criminal laws on defamation and insult.

  • Global Economies, Regulatory Failure, and Loose Money: Lessons for Regulating the Finance Sector from Iceland’S Financial Crisis
    2 MORRISS PETURSSON 691 - 799 (DO NOT DELETE) 5/3/2012 1:26 PM GLOBAL ECONOMIES, REGULATORY FAILURE, AND LOOSE MONEY: LESSONS FOR REGULATING THE FINANCE SECTOR FROM ICELAND’S FINANCIAL CRISIS Birgir T. Petursson* & Andrew P. Morriss** ABSTRACT Iceland was the first developed economy to fall into crisis in 2008, with the collapse of its banking sector, currency value, and economy. The collapse threw Iceland into a political crisis and provoked a serious international dispute between Iceland and Britain and the Netherlands over responsibility for the failed banks. Prior to 2008, Iceland had been treated as the poster child for deregulation; since 2008, it has been held up as the poster child for the dangers of financial liberalization. Neither is accurate. Rather, Iceland presents a cautionary tale about the interrelationships between fiscal and monetary policy and regulatory measures. Excessive liquidity fostered by central banks around the world, expansionary fiscal policies in Iceland, and inadequate understanding of fundamental * Partner, Laekjargata Lawfirm, Reykjavik, Iceland & Co-Founder and Director, Centre for Social and Economic Research, Reykjavik, Iceland; Cand. jur., University of Iceland, 1998.

The following study aims to assess such recoveries in order to elucidate the impact of European integration upon them –an important analysis to undertake, given the rise of euroscepticism. First it will outline the research question (are nations less integrated in the European framework better equipped to respond to exogenous economic shocks?), as well as its significance to the overall ongoing process of closer integration. These, as well as the methodological approach are outlined in an Analytical Framework chapter. Second, it will navigate through three case studies of recovering European countries –Iceland, Latvia, and Ireland- and identify the factors leading to recovery, as well as their point of origin (domestic, EU, or other/international).

    CHAPTER 2. DENMARK Kristian Jensen, Johanne Helboe Nielsen, Morten Brænder, Per Mouritsen and Tore Vincents Olsen Department of Political Science, Aarhus University Introduction Danes perceive Denmark as situated on the fringes of Europe, and not only geographically. At face value, this perception is a peculiarity, since Denmark has always been surrounded by and interacting with key players in the struggle for European dominion. Today, Denmark’s closest neighbors in cultural, political and economic terms, Sweden and Germany, also constitute its main trading partners (Danmarks Statistik, 2008). As Denmark’s role in the great European power struggles was gradually but inevitably reduced at the brink of the modern age, Danish national identity was more and more defined in accordance with its role as a minor European state. A national awakening in the 19th century fitted the political reality of the losses of Norway (in 1814, to Sweden) and Schleswig-Holstein (in 1864, to Germany) as well as the ideal of roman- ticism. The separation from its former lands created a Danish state without noticeable differences in nationality and language. The Danish nation and the Danish state eventually became so closely knit together that it to this day is difficult to think of the nation without the state. In the early 20th century Denmark gradually became a social democratic Scandinavian welfare state formed by the non-revolutionary Social Democratic Party. Their struggle to reform the state was linked to a perception of the political elite as out of touch with the backbone of the nation: the working class (Hansen, 2002: 60-61).
