Book Continuity and Change

Download or read book Continuity and Change written by Maximilian Spinner and published by GRIN Verlag. This book was released on 2007-07 with total page 65 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The persistence and the relatively strong electoral performance of peasant parties in some Central Eastern European countries appears puzzling. The paper investigates the strategies of these parties in the light of social and economic modernization. As a successful model for agrarian adaptation the Scandinavian Center parties' move to 'catch-all' strategies are contrasted with the Hungarian FKGP and the Polish PSt. It becomes clear that the incentive structure for these parties in CEE transition societies is much different and therefore less conducive to this kind of adaptation. In fact, rather a rightist-populist retreat and in the Police case the reliance on a continuously strong peasant vote in addition to seeking state resources is being pursued.

Book Distribution and Differences

Download or read book Distribution and Differences written by Jonas Lindström and published by Uppsala Universitet. This book was released on 2008 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Resources were unevenly distributed among the landed peasants of early modern Sweden. This is evident from taxation registers and probate inventories. Yet the implications of this observations are far from evident. Was life in the old peasant society characterized by great and enduring economic inequalities? Or were resources redistributed within the community in order to better adjust to the changing needs and abilities of different households? In what ways did the principles of resource distribution among peasants change as the Swedish society was transformed during the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries? By studying resource holding among peasants in a Swedish parish over a time period of 200 years, this dissertation contributes to our understanding of the social structure of the small rural communities that once dominated not only Sweden, but also most of medieval and early modern Europe.

Book Peasantry to Capitalism

Download or read book Peasantry to Capitalism written by Göran Hoppe and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1994 with total page 488 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How do peasants, producing mainly for themselves, become capitalist farmers, producing largely for sale? What happens to farm sizes, farming practices, and the relationships between cultivators and others in the process of this transition? How far does it vary from region to region? Is it inherent in the peasantry, or must it be instigated by landlord, townsfolk or the state? These are some of the questions addressed by Göran Hoppe and John Langton in this 1995 study of rural change in Sweden. Eschewing both traditional narrow empiricism, and the recent trend to over-employ modern social theory, the authors have carefully combined theories about the transition from peasantry to capitalism with meticulous analysis of the abundant Swedish records. In doing so, they reveal the wide geographical variety and rich socioeconomic complexity of the changes which occurred in the process of modernization in the nineteenth century.

Book Popular Struggle and Democracy in Scandinavia

Download or read book Popular Struggle and Democracy in Scandinavia written by Flemming Mikkelsen and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-10-16 with total page 456 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book focuses on popular struggles in Denmark, Norway and Sweden from 1700-2015, and how popular struggle in the form of hunger riots, tax rebellions, petition drives, strikes, demonstrations, public meetings and social movements paved the way for the introduction and development of civil liberties and political rights. The author portrays social and political mass mobilization of ordinary people as vital to the construction of democracy, and an essential condition for the formation of the Scandinavian welfare states. Popular Struggle and Democracy in Scandinavia shows the transnational connections between Denmark, Norway and Sweden and between Scandinavia and the rest of Europe, and also contains a comparison of popular struggle in Scandinavia seen in a wider European perspective. The book will be of interest to social scientists, historians and students and researchers with an interest in popular struggles in Scandinavia.

Book Scandinavian Exodus

Download or read book Scandinavian Exodus written by Briant Lindsay Lowell and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-09-05 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1987. During the last half of the nineteenth century, nearly two million Norwegians and Swedes migrated to the United States. Declining rates of emigration are moderately associated with the development of urban-industrialization in Scandinavia toward the end of the 19th century. Still, the major explanation of the decline of emigration is argued to be less a response to new urban opportunities than the end result of the transformation of rural, peasant classes and the decay of the diffusion process. In this volume economic change, agricultural development, and the course of the demographic transition are separately considered to isolate the causes underlying the emigration. The social historical context is examined with an eye toward casting the results of this study in a broader light. Those lessons learned in the study of Scandinavian experience are applicable to similar processes currently unfolding in contemporary developing countries.
