The Nordic countries have often been regarded as ‘model’ societies, famous for their high levels of economic prosperity, social equality and political stability. We will discuss the historical roots of this distinctive ‘Nordic’ experience and how it has changed since the end of the Cold War, as the Nordic countries have needed to adopt to new regional, Europewide and global developments. This historical introduction will be followed by a thematic examination of contemporary Nordic societies in a comparative perspective, looking at the varied legacies of the ‘Nordic model’. Topics to be covered include Nordic foreign and security policy, domestic politics and the rise of the populist right, immigration and integration, crime and justice, gender equality, environmentalism and Nordic co-operation. It should be noted that a focus on the Nordic countries will also provide a new perspective on some of the most important developments affecting the whole of Europe over the last 30 years.
