Scandinavia - Revised and Enlarged Edition (Hardcover, 2nd Enlarged edition)

North Sea oil, garden suburbs, socialized medicine, ombudsmen, economic diversification, party politics, relations with the US and the USSR--these are some of the exciting and controversial aspects of Scandinavian life in the 1970s that Franklin Scott explores in this revised and enlarged edition of "The United States and Scandinavia." An observer of Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway, and Sweden for over forty years, Scott shows how the old tradition-oriented communities have transformed themselves into modern change-oriented societies keenly aware of their position in the world.
