Visions of the Nordic Model in Northern and Southern Europe (1970s-1990s) (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9789189615458)

The concept of the Nordic model played an important role in the ideological and political rejuvenation of the Northern and Southern European political left from the 1970s to the 1990s.

In a witness seminar organized by the Centre for Nordic Studies at Helsinki University, the Institute for Contemporary History at Sertn University and the Department of History and Classical Studies at Aarhus University, key political actors for the develop-ment of European social democracy and Northern and Southern processes of European integration discuss the fortunes of the Nordic model from the 1970s to the 1990s.

Participants included: Allan Larsson (former Minister for Finance of Sweden), Mogens Lykketoft (former Minister of Foreign Affairs of Denmark, leader of the Social Democrats) and Joaqu匤 Almunia (former Minister of Public Administration of Spain and leader of PSOE). The witness seminar is funded by the Joint Committee for Nordic research councils in Humanities and Social Sciences (NOS-HS).
