Scandinavia and Bismarck

Scandinavia and Bismarck

This book accounts for Scandinavian unification efforts in a time of great upheaval. The ideological repercussions of the European revolutions of 1848-1849 and the Crimean War (1853-1856) transformed both the international political system and nationalism into more realist types. The First Schleswig War (1848-1851) having nearly turned into one of Scandinavian unification, the influence of Scandinavianism extended into the Danish, Swedish and Norwegian courts, cabinets and parliaments, attracting interest from the great powers. The Crimean War offered another window of opportunity for Scandinavian unification, before the Danish-German conflict over the duchies of Schleswig and Holstein nearl...

Scandinavia After Napoleon

This is a stunning book about Scandinavianism, based on huge archival work, demonstrating that a unification nationalism was close to the success enjoyed by Italy and Germany. Another consideration deserves stark highlighting: this is the most exciting book in nationalism studies to have appeared for many years, offering a novel realist theory of nationalism that destroys many taken for granted assumptions, about the nineteenth century for surebut with implications quite as much for present circumstances as well. -John A. Hall, Professor emeritus, McGill This book explores the intellectual grounds of Scandinavianist ideology and its political development into a national unification movement....

Union eller undergang

I 1864 erklærte en av tidens største statsmenn seg for «veldig sterk skandinav». Ordene tilhører Otto von Bismarck. Den prøyssiske politikeren samlet Tyskland og var også villig til å samle Skandinavia. Det samme var Napoleon III og dronning Victoria. 1800-tallets tankegang var at Europa naturlig ville få færre, men større stater, som de mange statene i Italia og Tyskland, som ble samlet gjennom krig. Derfor måtte små nasjoner enten samle seg eller gå under. Frykten for undergang fikk radikale revolusjonære, framtredende politikere og kongelige til å arbeide for å samle Sverige, Norge og Danmark i en union. Til tross for konkrete forfatningsutkast og hemmelige forhandlinger ...

Union eller undergång

Nya perspektiv på en dramatisk tid i Skandinaviens historia Historiker har länge betraktat skandinavismen som ett för 1800-talet tidstypiskt svärmeri. En begränsad skara drömmares fria fantasier. Men faktum är att tanken på att mindre stater måste slå sig samman för att inte utplånas genom krig var högst levande i Europa under denna tid. Det visade inte minst enandet av såväl Tyskland som Italien på 1860-talet. Även i Skandinavien frodades tankarna på en gemensam union. Radikala grupperingar hade en vision om att ena Sverige, Norge och Danmark för att förhindra de nordiska rikenas undergång. Historikerna Rasmus Glenthøj och Morten Nordhagen Ottosen har gjort gedigna undersökningar av tidigare förbisedda källor som visar hur långt gångna planerna faktiskt var. Efter statskupp, krig, bortrövande av den danska kungafamiljen och revolution skulle Sverige-Norges kung installeras på den danska tronen. Union eller undergång berättar denna sensationella historia om hur kartan över Skandinavien nästan ritades om.

Contesting Nordicness

The terms ‘Nordic’ and ‘Scandinavian’ are widely used to refer to the politics, society and culture of Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway and Sweden. But why have people felt the need to frame things as Nordic and why has the adjective Nordic become so prominent? This book adopts a rhetorical approach, analysing the speech acts which have shaped the meanings of the term. What do the different terms Nordic and Scandinavian have in common, and how have the uses of these terms changed in different historical periods? What accounts for the apparent upsurge in uses of the rhetoric of Nordicness in the 2010s? Drawing on eight case studies of the uses of Nordic and Scandinavian from the nine...

Union eller undergång

I andra delen av tvåbandsverket Union eller undergång fortsätter Rasmus Glenthøj och Morten Nordhagen Ottosen sin skildring av skandinavismens uppgång och fall. Skandinavismen var mer än bara drömmar - tvärtom fanns under andra halvan av 1800-talet högst konkreta, och långt gångna, planer på hur man skulle lyckas ena Skandinavien, enligt tidigare förbisedda källor. Det handlade rentav om att rädda Sverige, Norge och Danmark från undergång. Enligt den samtida idén var mindre stater tvungna att slå sig samman för att inte ätas upp av stormakternas ambitioner. Radikala revolutionärer, framträdande politiker och kungligheter gick samman om att lägga upp strategin. Del två av Union eller undergång handlar om hur de sista chanserna till ett enat Skandinavien gick i stöpet. Den tar sin början då drömmarna om ett heldanskt Slesvig alltjämt är levande och ett krig mot Preussen väntar bakom hörnet. Ett krig som inte bara kom att bli katastrofalt för Danmark utan för hela den skandinavistiska rörelsen.
