This book analyzes the factors that have contributed to the sociocultural fabric of Norwegian politics. In discussing Norway's institutional structures and practices, Heidar (political science, University of Oslo) emphasizes the power of the periphery, both in social as well as geographic terms. He also considers the effect of Norway's egalitarian culture. The book focuses on the primacy of politics and the roles played by the nineteenth-century peasant movement and the twentieth-century labor movement in shaping modern Norway. Annotation c.
