Conclusion.  aFor many years, historians have not given due attention to the relations between the Nordic countries and Israel. As a consequence, the existing body of research on this topic is almost entirely conducted by scholars from the social sciences, especially international relations and conflict resolution studies, a fact that has led to an overemphasis on their occasional interstate political disputes. This book offers a fresh and exciting historical analysis of their relations during the three decades following Israel’s establishment in 1948, focusing on their connection points and mutual influences in various fields. Furthermore, it is mapping Israel geographically according to the traces of diverse Nordic-Israeli initiatives throughout the years. In recent years, scholarship on Nordic studies has yielded new research areas regarding the influence of these countries on other parts of the world, and vice versa. Nordic policies, attitudes and experience have been analyzed in the framework of knowledge circulation, and this in turn sparked a renewed scholarly interest in the Nordic model(s). The book fits into this stream of research by arguing that close historical investigation helps to construct, and sometimes also deconstruct, the fluid definition of the Nordic model(s). By focusing on the intersection between Israel studies and Nordic studies, it provides insights into the complex, yet fascinating relations that developed between these countries since the mid twentieth-century. Orna Keren-Carmel is adjunct lecturer at the European Forum of the Hebrew University, Israel. Her historical research focuses on Nordic-Israeli relations. 0aHistory, Modern.970351 0aInternational relations.958103 0aWorld history.965220 0aEuropexHistory.970908 0aMiddle EastxHistory.14aModern History.97035224aInternational Relations.95810324aWorld History, Global and Transnational History.96647024aEuropean History.95776724aHistory of the Middle East.2 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer Nature eBook08iPrinted edition:z978303175286508iPrinted edition:z978303175288908iPrinted edition:z978303175289640uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-031-75287-2  aZDB-2-POS  aZDB-2-SXPI  c65278d65278
