Socio-Spatial Theory in Nordic Geography

---

This book is the latest instalment in a longer history of anthologies on Nordic geography and geographers. Initially published in a mix of Scandinavian languages and
English, and more recently in English alone, these collections address the field of
(human) geography in general (Hägerstrand & Buttimer, 1988; Strand, 1982;
Öhman, 1994; Öhman & Simonsen, 2003), but also particular aspects of geography
(e.g., Friis & Maskell, 1981; Jones & Olwig, 2008; Simonsen et al., 1982). The very
existence of these regionally defined anthologies could be said to answer the question posed by the editors of one of them, “Is there a ‘Nordic’ human geography?”
(Simonsen & Öhman, 2003). A significant number of geographers have over the
years found that there is indeed something that could be termed Nordic (human)
geography, and this is underscored by practices such as preparing A Geography of
Norden for the 1960 conference of the International Geographical Union (IGU) in
Stockholm (Sømme, 1960), the annual Nordic Symposium on Critical Human
Geography between 1979 and 1999 (Berger, 1990), which inspired Eric Clark
(2005) to initiate the still-existing biannual Nordic Geographers Meeting (NGM),
and the publication of Nordisk samhällsgeografisk tidskrift (1984–2007). A “Nordic”
geography identity has also been augmented by transnational doctoral courses and
educational activities, seminars, research projects and informal networks
