    THE GROWTH OF THE RADICAL RIGHT IN NORDIC COUNTRIES: OBSERVATIONS FROM THE PAST 20 YEARS By Anders Widfeldt TRANSATLANTIC COUNCIL ON MIGRATION THE GROWTH OF THE RADICAL RIGHT IN NORDIC COUNTRIES: Observations from the Past 20 Years By Anders Widfeldt June 2018 Acknowledgments This research was commissioned for the eighteenth plenary meeting of the Transatlantic Council on Migration, an initiative of the Migration Policy Institute (MPI), held in Stockholm in November 2017. The meeting’s theme was “The Future of Migration Policy in a Volatile Political Landscape,” and this report was one of several that informed the Council’s discussions. The Council is a unique deliberative body that examines vital policy issues and informs migration policymaking processes in North America and Europe. The Council’s work is generously supported by the following foundations and governments: the Open Society Foundations, Carnegie Corporation of New York, the Barrow Cadbury Trust, the Luso- American Development Foundation, the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation, and the governments of Germany, the Netherlands, Norway, and Sweden.

    ROSIE ALEXANDER, ANNA-ELISABETH HOLM, DEIRDRE HANSEN AND KISTÂRA MOTZFELDT VAHL 5. CAREER GUIDANCE IN NORDIC SELF GOVERNING REGIONS Opportunties and Challenges ABSTRACT The Nordic self-governing regions (the Faroe Islands, Greenland and the Åland Islands) pose a specific context for careers guidance policy and practice. Characterised by their island topographies, small populations and historically minoritised languages, these regions have in recent years gained greater autonomy over their domestic affairs. As a result steps have been taken towards developing domestic careers guidance policy and practice suitable for their own territories. In this chapter case studies of two of these regions will be presented – Greenland and the Faroes – in order to explore the specific challenges and opportunities facing these communities. With both regions historically subordinate to the Danish crown, these communities have a shared inheritance in terms of education, economic and careers policy, and they also face shared challenges in terms of their distinctive labour markets, language contexts and concerns with migration. However, as this chapter will show the specific manifestation of these challenges, and responses to these challenges has differed between the communities. The findings demonstrate how the communities of Greenland and the Faroe Islands are developing approaches to careers guidance policy and practice which draw from existing Nordic approaches, and benefit substantially from Nordic co-operation, but which also challenge and develop their Nordic and specifically Danish inheritances to create distinctive new models. INTRODUCTION: NORDIC SELF-GOVERNING REGIONS The Nordic self-governing regions are distinctive within the Nordic region in terms of career guidance policy and practice, because their growing autonomy has resulted in a drive to create new territory-specific policy and systems.

The ascomycete flora of some Lycopodium species (L. annotinum, L. c!avatum, L. alpinum, L. comp!anatum s.lat., L. selago) has been investigated, mainly on the basis of Nordic, particularly Swedish, material. These species have proved to harbour a rich mycoflora, largely confined to the club mosses and in many cases even restricted to a certain host species. The lycopods studied differ significantly with regard to their fungi. The origin of this mycoflora is discussed. It is considered to be fairly modern and apparently the lycopods were once colonized by fungi inhabiting other xerophytic plats, like Ericaceae and Juniperus. Twelve Discomycetes and 13 Pyrenomycetes are dealt with and the following new names are published: Discomycetes: Cryptodiscus anguillosporus L. & K. Holm, n.sp., Dasyscyphus inopinatus (Kirschst.) L. & K. Holm, n.comb ., Hyalopeziza pani (Vel.) L. & K. Holm, n.comb., Hya!opeziza rubefaciens L. & K. Holm, n.sp., ?Micropeziza diphasii L. & K. Holm, n.sp., Pseudopeltis perminuta L. & K.

  • The Clay Paw Burial Rite Ofthe Åland
    13 The Clay Paw Burial Rite of the Åland Islands and Central Russia: A Symbol in Action Johan Callmer The clay paw burial rite is a special feature of the Åland Islands. It is introduced already in the seventh century shortly after a marked settle- ment expansion and considerable cultural changes. The rite may be con- nected with groups involved in beaver hunting since the clay paws in many cases can be zoologically classified as paws of beavers. On the Åland Islands only minor parts of the population belong to this group. Other groups specialized in contacts with the Finnish mainland. The clay paw group became involved in hunting expeditions further and further east and in the ninth century some of the members established themselves in three or four settlements on the middle Volga. There is a later expansion into the area between the Volga and the Kljaz'ma. The clay paw burial rite gives us an unique possibility to identify a specific Scandinavian population group in European Russia in the ninth and tenth centuries. With the introduction of Christian and semi-Christian burial customs ca. A.D. 1000 we cannot archaeologically distinguish this group any more but some historical sources could indicate its existence throughout the eleventh cetury in Russia. The clay paw burial rite brings to the fore questions about local variations and special elements in the Pre-Christian Scandinavian religion. Possibly elements of Finno-ugric religious beliefs had a connection with the development of this rite. Johan Callmer, lnstitute of Archaeolog», Krafts torg I, S-223 50 Lund, Sweden.

The Transmission of Monetary Policy under the Microscope a Martin Blomhoff Holm, Pascal Paul, Andreas Tischbirek∗ February 2021 Abstract We investigate the transmission of monetary policy to household consumption using administrative data on the universe of households in Norway. Based on identified monetary policy shocks, we estimate the dynamic responses of consumption, income, and saving along the liquid asset distribution of households. For low-liquidity but also for high-liquidity households, changes in disposable income are associated with a sizable consumption reaction. The impact consumption response is closely linked to interest rate exposure, which is negative at the bottom but positive at the top of the distribution.

The spellings of Swedish place names in these books were sometimes old spellings, phonetic, or even erroneous. Remember to look for Carlson starting with both “C” and “K.” “V” & “W” are also interchangeable, as are sometimes “S” and “Z.” Some parish names beginning with “V” used to start with a silent “H,” so you might find Vetlanda under Hvetlanda or even Hwetlanda. Swedish vowels å, ä, and ö fall at the end of the alphabet, but our database does not sort them that way, so look for your Åbergs with “A” instead of after “Z.” How to Search Use CTRL+F to search for specific text (Mac users use Apple+F).
