Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
How did Norway become a highly successful liberal democracy? Will its prosperity and stability last, or has modern history been an exception? Is the Norwegian experience based on luck, or has a part been played by clever politicians and sound institutions, including a wellfunctioning rule of law? How does Norway combine social democracy with a market economy, and extensive foreign trade? Since the 1970s, Norway has become an oilproducing giant in Northern Europehow can that role be reconciled with the realities of climate change, and increasing awareness of that crisis? This highly engaging book introduces Norwegian political and economic history to a broad audience, offering a deeper understanding of a country always looked upon with great interest, but perhaps not profoundly understood. The Norwegian Exception? takes the reader back through 200 years of statebuilding to explain Norways current position as a top ranking nation, and to consider its chances of keeping that status in the twentyfirst century. In particular, it unpacks how Norwegian politics and governance have shaped the countrys worldfamous oil fund and unique relationship with the European Union. Leading historians Mathilde Fasting and Oystein Sorensen skillfully draw back the curtain on the inner workings of the Norwegian utopia.
