Series Statement:
Nordic studies in a global context
Content:
"This edited volume explores different aspects of associative governance, providing detailed case studies of associations and associational governance in Nordic societies. Theoretically developing a concept of associative governance, the book sheds light on a dynamic way of perceiving associative aspects of community and commercial life that has been hitherto underexplored and undertheorized. It shows how governance by associations may be conducted by both bottom-up self-organized and voluntary participation and top-down authoritative incorporation, as well as interstices in between. Finally, it provides research-based knowledge about how to maintain "good political and economic institutions" in the future and a more holistic and dynamic approach to the literature on Nordic governance and associations. This book will be of key interest to scholars and students of Nordic and Scandinavian studies, history, sociology, political science, marketing, social policy, organization theory and public management"--
