About the Book:
The new context of globalisation marked by rapid communication and information
has irrevocably changed inter-state relations. Distances are no longer prohibitive
and knowledge of states and their societies is not restricted to their immediate
neighbourhoods. New contacts are established and old ones intensify. This volume
is a collection of ten papers looking at the small smart achieving states of
the Nordic region. India has long established relation with these countries.
This collection highlights how the context of globalization has opened up for
India and the Nordics new possibilities and opportunities for greater collaboration
and learning from each other. Welfare, energy, environment, diversity management
are all possible areas of collaboration that can be of mutual benefit.
