Nordic Paths to Modernity
Within the growing attention to the diverse forms and trajectories of modern societies, the Nordic countries are now widely seen as a distinctive and instructive case. While discussions have centred on the 'Nordic model' of the welfare state and its record of adaptation to the changing global environment of the late twentieth century, this volume's focus goes beyond these themes. The guiding principle here is that a long-term historical-sociologi…
G rundtvig, N ikolai F rederik S everin (1783–1872)
The Danish theologian, poet, and educational and political thinker Nikolai Frederik Severin Grundtvig lived a very long and productive life from 1783 to 1872. In this long life he not only witnessed enormous changes in his own society and state, but also lived through the intellectual period of the Enlightenment and through the romantic era, both of which left a deep imprint on his thinking. He is the single person most responsible for the nation…
Danish National Identity
Denmark has a long history as a sovereign state, normally assumed to date back to the tenth century AD . Since the seventeenth century, however, the country has continuously lost power, influence and territory to its neighbours, first to an emerging Sweden, and then in the nineteenth century to the united Germany led by Prussia. Yet, although Danes share many cultural traits with Sweden and northern Germany they have spent much energy on distanci…

The history of Europe seen from the North
The Nordic or Scandinavian countries represent variations on general European patterns of state and nation-building and political culture. Denmark and Sweden rank among the oldest and most typical of nation-states together with France, Britain and Spain and should be studied with the same questions in mind. Today, however, a sort of trans-state common Nordic identity coexists with independent national identifications among the Scandinavians. Nord…
The Danish Path to Modernity
In a comparative context, Danish national identity and political culture combine features of what is often referred to as East European integral nationalism , typical of smaller, recently independent nation-states, and the patriotic concept of citizenship in the older West European state nations. The explanation of this apparent paradox is that Denmark belongs to both families. A former multinational, composite state in 1864 was cut down to a siz…

Peasants and Danes: The Danish National Identity and Political Culture
From a cultural and historical-sociological perspective, the Danish nationstate of today represents a rare situation of virtual identity between state, nation, and society, which is a more recent phenomenon than normally assumed in Denmark and abroad. Though one of the oldest European monarchies, whose flag came 'tumbling down from heaven in 1219'-ironically enough an event that happened in present-day Estonia-Denmark's present national identity …
