Scandinavia in a new Europe

About this book

Can we predict the future of Scandinavian welfare states? Are the models of equality, solidarity and social justice going to survive in an enlarged and united Europe? How will the processes of globalization and regionalization affect the uniqueness of the societies of this region? What role will Scandinavia play in terms of politics, culture and the economy in a new Europe? These and other questions of urgent concern are examined in Scandinavia in a New Europe. Written by fifteen leading Scandinavian sociologists and social scientists, this volume gives a vivid portrait of a world apart in the process of integration and transformation.
