Last update: Mgr. Tomáš Juhás (06.02.2024)

Scandinavian Politics and Society deals with the Nordic region from the political, socio-economic and partly cultural point of view. The main question of the course is whether one can talk about a "Nordic model", as it is generally understood. A closer look at the different countries in the region shows surprising differences among them.
