Item description

Sent by Ruslania.com promptly from Helsinki, Finland.Description:Democracy is today a concept that is overwhelmingly positively evaluated almost everywhere, but even the most universalistic oriented accounts generally discuss a number of paradigmatic cases such as Athenian democracy, French democracy, or American democracy. A lot has been written about socio-economic and cultural backgrounds of democratic regimes as well as their institutional settings. By contrast, not much is known about the political manoeuvres and speech acts by which ?democracy? has been tied to particular regions and cultures in concrete historical situations. This book discusses a series of efforts to rhetorically produce and reproduce a particular Nordic version of democracy. It will show that the rhetorical figure ?Nordic democracy? was a product of the age of totalitarianism and the Cold War. It will explore the ways in which ?Nordic democracy? was used, mainly by the social democrats, to provide the welfare politics with cultural and historical legitimacy and foundations, and thus acknowledge the ideological and geopolitical context in which the ?Nordic welfare state? was conceptualised and canonised. --- Demokratiaa kasittelevassa kirjallisuudessa on kiinnitetty runsaasti huomiota demokratialle suosiollisiin yhteiskunnallisiin, taloudellisiin ja kulttuurisiin olosuhteisiin. Vahemmalle huomiolle on sen sijaan jaanyt se, minkalaisin retorisin siirroin ja minkalaisin poliittisin tavoittein ?demokratia? on kytketty kuuluvaksi juuri tiettyjen maiden, alueiden ja kulttuurien ominaispiirteeksi. Tassa kirjassa tutkitaan sita, kuinka kasitysta erityisesta pohjoismaisesta demokratian versiosta on tuotettu. Kirja osoittaa, etta ?pohjoismainen demokratia? oli aluksi ennen kaikkea sosialidemokraattien kayttama ilmaus, jonka avulla 1930-luvulla tuotettiin kasitysta fasismille ja kommunismille immuunista poliittisesta kulttuurista. Kylman sodan aikakautena ?pohjoismainen demokratia? merkitsi suurvaltablokkien valista menestystarinaa, sosiaalisesti ja taloudellisesti menestyksellista keskitieta. Tultaessa 1900-luvun lopulle ?pohjoismainen demokratiasta? oli tullut huomattavissa maarin synonyymi ?pohjoismaiselle hyvinvointivaltiolle?. Kirja on nain ollen myos analyysi hyvinvointivaltion retorisesta, ideologisesta ja geopoliittisesta perustasta.
