This subproject examines Scandinavian neoliberalism with a particular focus on the Danish, Swedish and Norwegian members of the Mont Pèlerin Society. Very little is known about neoliberalism – its roots, networks and transformations – in this region. By addressing these issues from the perspective of broader European neo-liberal developments, the analysis aims to enrich our knowledge of the political-ideological landscapes and transformations in post-World War II Scandinavia. Conversely, by highlighting the particular forms, the transfer and adaptation of neoliberalism in the North – and thus looking into the specific contributions of the Scandinavian political sphere – the article also seeks to transform the overall European picture. 

This sub-project is headed by Niklas Olsen, PhD, Assistant Professor at the University of Copenhagen
