Are the Nordic countries particularly peaceful? Have they been particularly active in promoting peace internationally? And is there a connection between these internal and external dimensions of peace? The recently published edited volume Nordic Peace in Question poses these questions from a number of different angles and explores how those propositions came to be encompassed in the term ’Nordic peace’. Not least, it considers how the idea of Nordic peace has been challenged by and might be remoulded in light of the war in Ukraine.The book will be introduced briefly by its editors, Christopher S. Browning, Marko Lehti, and Johan Strang. This will be followed by comments from Rasmus Glenthøj, Associate Professor, SDU, and Louise Ridden, postdoctoral research fellow, Tampere University (tbc). The book launch is organized in co-operation with TAPRI, Tampere University and CENS, Helsinki University, and will be followed by a small reception.
Christopher S. Browning is Reader of Politics and International Studies at the University of Warwick, UK. Marko Lehti is Research Director at Tampere Peace Research Institute (TAPRI), Tampere University, Finland.
