Engineer capitalism in the Danish business system
In business history, it has become a well-accepted fact that engineers have lost territory to business school candidates in the most recent phases of modern capitalism. This article puts up for debate whether business historians studying Northern Europe have perhaps been too willing to accept this diminishing role of the engineer in the understanding of national business systems? What we find, looking at three successful Danish businesses since t…
The Voice of Business in Denmark’s Neoliberal Turn
Many historians have argued that the Nordic welfare societies underwent a major transformation in the later decades of the 20th century, and neoliberalism has been identified as a key driver of this transformation. This article contributes to this field of contemporary history as it addresses the rhetoric and role of organized business in Denmark’s neoliberal turn, focusing especially on the Confederation of Danish Industry. Using conceptual hist…
The Entrepreneurial State in Action
The question of the role of the state in the creation of competitive clusters and innovation systems has drawn increased attention in recent years. Drawing on Mariana Mazzucato’s concept of “the entrepreneurial state,” this article investigates the role of the public sector in the development of the Danish robotics cluster, a world-leading cluster for production of industrial robots that has developed after the closing of Maersk’s shipyard in the…
Narratives of democracy
Historians have long been aware of the power of narratives; but they have been hesitant to analyse the production of national narratives of democracy, in which their own profession played an important role. This issue and introduction aims to insert and study the role of narratives in the history of democracy. It builds on the growing literature in both the conceptual and political history of democracy, which has stressed the importance of the la…
The folk’ish heritage in Nordic democracy
Drawing on examples from Danish and Norwegian history, this article traces the ideological origins of Nordic democracy. It takes as its starting point the observation that constitutional theories of democracy were rather weak in the Nordic countries until the mid-twentieth century; instead, a certain Nordic tradition of popular constitutionalism rooted in a romantic and organic idea of the people was central to the ideological foundations of Nord…
Capitalism in Times of Crisis
This article investigates how Danish industrialists responded to the rise of the modern state in the decades up until the Second World War, a period in which many of the basic principles of liberal capitalism were called into question, and in which the relationship between the state and the economy underwent major changes in all Western societies. It argues that the industrialists remained firm believers in classical liberalism and, on that groun…
Business and the Nordic Welfare States, 1890-1970
Social scientists have, since the 1990s, shown an increasing interest in the role of business actors in welfare state development, and these debates provide many opportunities for historians of the Nordic countries to contribute with their insights and findings. This special issue brings together six historical studies on the role of business in the development of the welfare states in the Nordic countries, including the role of firms as provider…
The First World War and the Regulatory State
It is well-established in various strands of historiography that the First World War was a formative phase in the evolution of the modern state. This article deals with the Danish case, in which the politics of neutrality made a previously unseen kind of economic regulation necessary. This led to a heated debate about the functions and role of the state, especially its role in economic life. On the one hand, the Social Liberals in government saw …
A History of Democracy beyond National Narratives
It is often stressed that representation is the fundamental common characteristic of modern democracies. However, modern democracy is also marked by another striking characteristic: its close relationship to the modern nation state and itsmythologies. This connection has had very deep, and to some extent unrecognized, implications for historians’ understanding of democracy and its evolution in various contexts. This essay shows how the connection…
The Rise of Danish Agrarian Liberalism
In the literature on European history, World War I and the interwar years are often portrayed as the end of the age of liberalism. The crisis of liberalism dates back to the nineteenth century, but a er the Great War, criticism of liberalism intensified. But the interwar period also saw a number of attempts to redefine the concept. This article focuses on the Danish case of this European phenomenon. It shows how a profound crisis of bourgeois lib…
