New book! Spotlight on a Region: Knowledge on the Nordics is a diverse collection of articles about society, history and culture in the Nordic countries. The book is written for a general audience.
My contribution is a condensed history of #opengovernment in the Nordic countries. In the times of AI, it seems hopelessly outdated. What will happen to open government in the near future? Will there be any transparency left in Nordic democracies if the illusion of economic efficiency triumphs over the citizen's right to be informed?
