Northern Neighbours: a new publication by Scottish and Norwegian scientists
The book is devoted to Norway and Scotland, two countries at the North of Europe. The authors write about the economic, social and political development of both countries since 1800, making interesting comparisons and conclusions.
This edited collection of essays covers various aspects including land ownership, politics, agriculture, industry, money and banking, local government, education, religion, access and the outdoor life, as well as several more synthetic chapters. Written as it is by historians, political scientists, economists, sociologists, anthropologists and human geographers, the book outlines elements of a theory of divergent development between Norway and Scotland over the long term, and so towards a novel history which will be of interest to a wider audience.
