Nordic Nationalism and Right-Wing Populist Politics

More about the book

Focusing on the rise of right-wing populism in the Nordic countries, the book analyzes its roots in historical nationalist movements dating back to the 1920s and 1930s. It explores how, despite their social liberal image, Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Finland, and Iceland have seen a surge in populist support, particularly following economic crises. The author connects contemporary nationalist sentiments to the failures of integration during the formation of the Nordic nation states in the 19th century, making it a valuable resource for those interested in European and Nordic politics.
