Färöer Inseln: Mein nächstes Traumreiseziel im Nordatlantik

New book! Spotlight on a Region: Knowledge on the Nordics is a diverse collection of articles about society, history and culture in the Nordic countries. The articles were originally published on the research dissemination platform nordics.info between 2019 and 2025.

The book is written for a general audience, and includes research based overviews of topics such as humanitarianism, Sámi literature, colonialism, childcare provision, crime fiction and populism – as well as more detailed articles on specific subjects or events, like the dancing ban in Finland during the Second World War, food delivery workers in twenty-first century Denmark or the historical development of the Öresund bridge.

My contribution is a condensed history of #opengovernment in the Nordic countries. In the times of AI, it seems hopelessly outdated. What will happen to open government in the near future? Will there be any transparency left in Nordic democracies if the illusion of economic efficiency triumphs over the citizen's right to be informed?
