    Open AccessAstri Andresen, J Nyyssonen et al.ARTICLEHistorisk tidsskrift2025

    Spørsmålet om hvorvidt nordiske stater har ført en kolonialistisk politikk, har i de senere år blitt reist i flere ulike sammenhenger.

    Søren RudARTICLEScandinavian Journal of History2021Cited by: 1References: 6

    Kristoffer Edelgaard Christensen, Søren Rud et al.BOOKGlobale og postkoloniale…2021Cited by: 2

    in DanishMed postkolonialismen har fulgt et øget fokus på det singulære ved ’den koloniale kontekst’, et fokus der i de seneste årtier har fornyet studiet af den koloniale stat og skabt en interesse for at specificere og nuancere vores forståelse af forskellen mellem governmentalitet i Europa og i kolonierne. Trods sin grundlæggende komparative dimension har dette fokus på ’den koloniale forskel’ dog kun i ringe grad forsøgt at sammenligne metrop…

The colonial authorities claimed that the establishments of new institutions were facilitating a return to …

While in use, “Grø…
