Download or read book The Nordic Countries and Africa written by Lennart Wohlgemuth and published by Nordic Africa Institute. This book was released on 2002 with total page 62 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Nordic Africa Institute has asked one representative from each Nordic country to give an account of how their respective countries have dealt with Africa over the years (in some cases even over the centuries) but with an emphasis on the last 50 years. They were also asked to indicate what role Africa has played in the politics, trade, etc. of their countries. The diversity of the invited authors, backgrounds and fields of specialization is reflected in their contributions, but the authors have one thing in common: a long experience from, and deep engagement in, Africa 's development. Lennart Wohlgemuth has been the director of the Nordic Africa Institute since1993.
Download or read book The Africa Policies of Nordic Countries and the Erosion of the Nordic Aid Model written by Bertil Od N. and published by Nordic Africa Institute. This book was released on 2011-07 with total page 68 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The aid policies of the Nordic countries -Denmark, Finland, Norway and Sweden - once had so many distinctive characteristics in common they were sometimes referred to as the "Nordic model." Now, however, this model has all but disappeared. This paper explores how this came about and examines the current development cooperation policies of the Nordic countries in Africa. In this respect, Nordic countries are now moving along divergent trajectories and becoming part of new donor constellations. This paper is based on a content analysis of official documents and interviews with policymakers and opinion shapers in the four countries. In addition to discussing the aim and role of current Nordic Africa policies and strategies, the paper provides an historical overview of Nordic cooperation with Africa and compares the Africa policy documents of the four Nordic countries. Finally, some suggestions regarding the scope for future Nordic cooperation are presented.

Download or read book Nordic Design Cultures in Transformation 1960 1980 written by Kjetil Fallan and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2022-08-30 with total page 245 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Covering the 1960s and 1970s, this volume explores new ways of investigating, comparing and interpreting the different domains of design culture across the Nordic countries. Challenging the traditional narrative, this volume argues that the roots of the most prominent features of Nordic design’s contemporary significance are not to be found amongst the objects for the home collectively branded as ‘Scandinavian Design’ to great acclaim in the 1950s, but in the discourses, institutions and practices formed in the aftermath of that oft-told success story, during the turbulent period between 1960 and 1980. This is achieved by employing multidisciplinary approaches to connect the domains of industrial production, marketing, consumption, public institutions, design educations, trade journals as well as public debates and civic initiatives forming a design culture. This book makes a significant contribution to current, international agendas of historiographical critique focusing on transnational relations and the deconstruction of national design histories. This book will be of interest to scholars in design, design history and Scandinavian studies.
Download or read book Sweden vs Apartheid written by Abdul Karim Bangura and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-11-28 with total page 231 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'Sweden vs Apartheid' examines the effort by the Swedish government and civil society in Sweden to abolish the system of apartheid that was instituted in South Africa in 1948. There are many reasons why this book is important. It explores the foreign policy 'posture' of a state, looks at Sweden's neutrality policy which embraced the idea of international solidarity with weaker states and groups, and examines the first Western state to adopt an active anti-apartheid stance when such a position was quite unpopular in the West. The analysis blends both international relations and comparative political approaches to take a critical look at the role played by Sweden in the defeat of the apartheid system.

Download or read book Aid and Technical Cooperation as a Foreign Policy Tool for Emerging Donors written by Déborah Barros Leal Farias and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-06-13 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The question of why countries give aid and assistance to other countries has long been a topic of debate- is it altruism, or selfishness? The assumption is sometimes made that donors from developing countries might be more motivated by altruism than ‘traditional’ western donors. This book demonstrates that on the contrary, the provision of development assistance can be used to serve national interests, allowing so-called ‘emerging’ donors to gain soft power in the international sphere by improving their image and global influence. Technical cooperation, or the transfer of knowledge, is an area of particular interest, as it can enable donors to position themselves as a global leader in a given field, with a unique set of skills and expertise in a knowledge area. This book uses the Brazilian case to demonstrate how a country such as Brazil can seek power and influence by providing no-strings-attached technical assistance. The empirical analysis unpicks the motivations behind development assistance, and how it can be used as a foreign policy tool. In doing so, the book sheds light upon the similarities and variations in the provision of technical cooperation as a foreign policy tool by China, India, and Brazil. This book will be of interest to researchers of International Development, South-South Cooperation, International Relations, and those working on Brazil specifically.
Download or read book Responsibility and Partnership in Swedish Aid Discourse written by Gudrun Dahl and published by Nordic Africa Institute. This book was released on 2001 with total page 34 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1997 the Swedish Ministry for Foreign Affairs elaborated a ‘New Policy for Africa’. Its purpose was to co-ordinate the country’s cultural assistance, trade and development aid to African countries by giving these activities a frame of common goals and an ideological rationale, emphasising ‘partnership’ rather than ‘solidarity’ or ‘aid’. This paper analyses the metaphors and paradoxes of the rhetorical draping of the policy as presented in the main report and the speeches of various officials. Of particular concern is what image of moral and reciprocal relations the policy mediates.
