As part of the Year of Creating Europe, previous sessions have focused on different attempts to create unity through diversity across Europe. In this session, the focus is on Scandinavia. Our panel of experts discuss how this region created social cohesion and costs and benefits that come with it. In its efforts to make a nation that is diverse but coalesces, how has Scandinavia been able to create trust in it's institutions?

  • Frank Martela, Aalto University, Finland
  • Christian Albrekt Larsen, Professor, Department for Economics, Politics and Public Administration, Aalborg University, Denmark
