"Who Owns the Civic Space? Scandinavia in a Comparative Perspective"

As a follow-up to last year's book 'Sustainable Modernity: the Nordic Model and Beyond', Nina Witoszek, Atle Midttun and Knut Myrum Næss are working on the forthcoming pamphlet on civic space in Scandinavia.

The pamphlet discusses one of the under-researched challenges to the Nordic Model: the scope and scale of the shrinking civic space. It will focus on the ways in which EU regulation, the intrusion of the state into private life, the neoliberal agenda, and what we call “the self-gagging of the intelligentsia” influence the course of Swedish and Norwegian negotiated, dialogic democracy.
