1988 Spring – Hamalainen UNIVERSITY OF WISCONSIN-MADISON Department of History Spring 1988 COURSE NO. COU:tSE TITLE INSTRUCTOR 432 History of Scandinavia since 1809 Mr. Hamalainen COUP.SE D':SCRIPTI0~1 History 432 explores major social, political, economic and cultural trends in the Scandinavian countries (Norden) in the 19th and 20th centuries starting with the political realignmen ts at the beginning of the era -- the break-up of the Swedo-Finnish and the Dano-~on-Jegian states and the emergence of Finland aud Norway as autonomous political entities in association respectively with Russia and Sweden. TheLe will be an effort to discuss the historical institutions, structures, and developments in the Nordic countries within a comparative framework. This approach should clarify those features which are common to Nordic history as a whole as well as serve the purpose of emphasizing the more unique aspects of the evolution of the different northern societies. The relationship of significant characteristics of the Nordic experience to general European history will also be explored. LECTURES Lectures three times per week WRITTEN ASSI~T:SNTS and EXA."'TNATIO~iS The undergraduates are expected to write two book reviews and the graduate student · five booK reviews based on supplementary reading. Both the mid-term and final examinations ~•ill consist of essay questions--the mid-term examination is optional but if a student ch~oses to take it, the examination counts toward the course grade. GRADING SYSTEM The course grade is largely decided by the results of the examinations -- if the student chooses to take the mid-term examination it will count for about 30% of the course grade. The book reviews can swing the course grade in borderline cases. REQUIRED r_?. ADI~:G5 Appropriate sections of the works mentioned below will be required reading for all students in the cl:1ss. In addition there will be supplementary reading, which the students can choose from a book list furnished by the instructor. T.K. Derry, A History of Scandinavia, 1979. P.K.

  • The Keeping and Milking of Sheep in the Old Subsistence Economy of Scandinavia, Iceland and Northern Europe
    THE KEEPING AND MILKING OF SHEEP IN THE OLD SUBSISTENCE ECONOMY OF SCANDINAVIA, ICELAND AND NORTHERN EUROPE Jon Bergsftker SHEEP IN EARLY SOCIETIES Archaeologists believe that sheep are associated with the pioneer cultivators in Northern European hunting cultures, and·that as domestic animals they may be considered part of the Northern European farm from earliest times (Brondsted 195 7. I. 262). At Neolithic dwelling sites in Western Norway, sheep bones are identified with refuse from meals (Hagen 1962. 35; Myhre 1967. 33-34), whilst the use of wool for clothes is confirmed from Bronze Age finds in Scandinavia (Brondsted 1958. II. 119-120). There is also reason to believe that the milk-giving qualities of domestic animals have been known from early times. Perforated pottery vessels from both Bronze Age and Iron Age Scandinavia are thought to have been used in the production of cheese (Rank 1966. 44-47). But there is no real evidence to suggest a development from general sheep­ keeping to selective sheep-breeding in prehistoric times in Northern Europe - whether for wool or for meat. The prehistoric sheep - descendants of which, in historic times, were found in e.g. Iceland and the Farnes, in the Norwegian spael.sau or short-tailed sheep, and in the Swedish tantras (country breed)-were kept equally for their milk, wool and mutton. Non-specialised use of the sheep belongs primarily to a subsistence economy where sheep-keeping is based on an individual's personal needs rather than on a concept of produce for sale. Only gradually, as a community becomes more stratified and sections of the population find themselves without sheep, does a more deliberate policy of sheep-keeping appear, linked to commerical and economic factors.

Thanks to the discovery of oil & gas on the Norwegian continental shelf in 1969, Norway’s economy prospered to become the sixth richest in the world in terms of gross domestic product (GDP) per capita. Different than other oil & gas rich countries in the world, Norway achieved to improve the societal welfare of its citizens and led the world in social progress. Despite the prosperity and the high level of social welfare, dependence on the oil & gas industry, the climate crisis, and poor transport infrastructure continued to challenge Norway, and the country lagged behind its Scandinavian neighbours in competitiveness. Keywords: competitiveness, Norway _____________________________________________________________________________________________ Norway was a developing economy at the beginning of the 20th century, but the discovery of oil & gas in the Norwegian continental shelf in 1969 changed the country’s fate, making it the sixth richest in the world in 2018 with a purchasing power parity (PPP) adjusted gross domestic product (GDP) per capita of USD 65,6031. Different than other oil & gas rich countries, but similar to other Scandinavian countries, Norway was also a leading nation in social progress with an index of 90.952 out of 100.

The breakthrough of multiculturalism, such as it was within the limits of the social democratic welfare-state, was facilitated by who the advocates were, for whom they made their claims, the way the idea of multiculturalism was conceptualised and legitimised as well as the migratory context. 9 789521 231339 ISBN 978-952-12-3133-9 Mats Wikstrom B5 Kansi s16 Inver260 9 December 2014 2:21 PM THE MULTICULTURAL MOMENT © Mats Wickström 2015 Cover picture by Mats Wickström & Frey Wickström Author’s address: History Dept. of Åbo Akademi

  • Towards the Kalmar Union
    S P E C I A L I Z E D A G E N C I E S TOWARDS THE KALMAR UNION Dear Delegates, Welcome to the 31st Annual North American Model United Nations 2016 at the University of Toronto! On behalf of all of the staff at NAMUN, we welcome you to the Specialized Agency branch of the conference. I, and the rest of the committee staff are thrilled to have you be a delegate in Scandinavia during the High Middle Ages, taking on this challenging yet fascinating topic on the futures of the three Scandinavian Kingdoms in a time of despair, poverty, dependence and competitiveness. This will truly be a new committee experience, as you must really delve into the history of these Kingdoms and figure out how to cooperate with each other without sending everyone into their demise. To begin, in the Towards the Kalmar Union Specialized Agency, delegates will represent influential characters from Denmark, Norway and Sweden, which include prominent knights, monarchs, nobles, and important religious figures who dominate the political, military and economic scenes of their respective Kingdoms. The impending issues that will be discussed at the meeting in Kalmar, Sweden include the future of the Danish and Norwegian crowns after the death of the sole heir to the thrones, Olaf II. Here, two distant relatives to Valdemar IV have a claim to the throne and delegates will need to decide who will succeed to the throne. The second order of business is to discuss the growing German presence in Sweden, especially in major economic cities.

The Nordic Model and the Oil Nation Roberto Iaconoy September 1, 2016 This paper investigates the long-run economic effects of large natural resource endowments, through a comparative quantitative case study. Focusing on three economic features of the so-called Nordic model, namely low income inequality, high labour productivity growth, and high welfare spending, this study estimates the shocks to these key features in Norway after the country became one of the world’slargest oil exporters. A synthetic control unit constructed by weighting Nordic countries that resemble the economy of Norway without being oil producers provides the most reliable comparison unit to estimate the causal effects constituting the paper’s threefold contribution. First, results show that the resource windfall contributed to relatively higher top income shares, adding natural resources to the set of drivers of income inequality in Norway.

An Analysis of Winning Minority Governments in Sweden. Torbjörn Bergman, Department of Political Science, Umeå University, S-901 87 Umeå, Sweden. ISSN 0349-0831, Research Report 1995:1 Distribution: Department of Political Science, Umeå University, S-901 87 Umeå, Sweden Abstract This study starts with two theoretical puzzles within the rational choice oriented literature on government formation in parliamentary democracies: the relative importance of constitutional rules and the existence of multiple party goals. From these puzzles stem the research questions that guide the study: First, what is the theoretical and empirical link between constitutional arrangements (including rules) and party goals? Second, what are the goals of political parties and how can these be studied? Third, relative to the goals of political parties and other constitutional arrangements, what is the importance of government formation rules for the empirical record of minority and majority governments? Coalition theory provides the theoretical starting point from which the research questions stem. The historical-institutional strand of new institutionalism is used to guide the general understanding of the importance of institutional context.

One group in particular that is frequently excluded is prisoners. Throughout the world there are all sorts of different practices regarding prisoner enfranchisement, and the variety of these practices confounds comparative patterns. Prisoner voting rights exist at a rare intersection between suffrage and penal laws.

  • Graying States: Elder Care Policy in Alberta, Canada and Sweden
    Graying States: Elder Care Policy in Alberta, Canada and Sweden By Gabrielle Betts A thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Affairs in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Political Science Carleton University Ottawa, Ontario © 2014 Gabrielle Betts 1 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Undergoing the six-year adventure towards the completion of my thesis would not have been possible without the care and support of many people along the way. First and foremost, I could not be more grateful to have worked under the direction of my talented co-supervisors Dr. Rianne Mahon and Dr. Fiona Robinson. I am thankful for the intellectual stimulus they provided throughout my PhD studies, the countless hours that they spent reading through my thesis drafts, the insightful and invaluable feedback they offered throughout the research and writing process, and their help in overcoming any challenges that presented themselves along the way. My thesis would not be the same without their excellent supervision. I am fortunate to have also had the opportunity to work with Dr. Hugh Armstrong, who was a member on my thesis committee in addition to being one of my professors while pursuing my PhD studies at Carleton University. His course and work on the political economy of health and elder care have influenced my research and work. I am also grateful to Dr. Marta Szebehely for sharing her expertise on Swedish elder care, and for being so helpful and kind when I prepared for and undertook my fieldwork in Sweden; with one of the highlights of my trip being the day I spent at her beautiful cottage.
