THE NORDIC REGIONS AND THE EUROPEAN UNION

The International Political Economy of New Regionalisms Series

The International Political Economy of New Regionalisms Series presents innovative analyses of a range of novel regional relations and institutions. Going beyond established, formal, interstate economic organizations, this essential series provides informed interdisciplinary and international research and debate about myriad heterogeneous intermediate level interactions.

Reflective of its cosmopolitan and creative orientation, this series is developed by an international editorial team of established and emerging scholars in both the South and North. It reinforces ongoing networks of analysts in both academia and think-tanks as well as international agencies concerned with micro-, meso- and macro-level regionalisms.

Chapter 1
Introduction: The Nordic Regions and the European Union

Sren Dosenrode

Seen from the outside, the Nordic countries Denmark, Finland, Norway and Sweden may look relatively alike; they are all small centralized states without a federal tradition; all are very stable democracies with a tradition of minority and or coalition governments; three of them are monarchies, one talks of a 'Nordic welfare state model'; they have been co-operating for decades in the Nordic Council; and when any of the three that are members of the European Union (EU) - have held the rotating EU Presidency, they have all (more or less explicitly) referred to aspirations of supporting the emergence of a 'Nordic dimension'
