By green stimulus we mean measures that can achieve economic stimulus while also reducing greenhouse gas emissions and enhancing environmental and natural resource quality.All Nordic countries have implemented comprehensive covid-19 stimulus packages, amounting to between 2000 euro per capita in Finland to 4400 euro per capita in Denmark. We identified that at least 6-21 percent of the measures suit the definition as green stimulus in terms of decreasing greenhouse gas emissions. A lower share, at least 2-13 percent, contribute to increase greenhouse gas emissions. The picture is almost the same for the environment. The remaining measures are either assessed as not having any significant impact on emissions or the environment.
In Candle in the Window, Seth Coleman and Rachel Ramsey, who are pledged to marry, are caught in a web of lifes adversities forcing them to be separated. Seth is drafted into the army and must serve a tour of duty in Korea during the height of the war. Rachel is kidnapped by powerful Oriental drug lords and is held hostage in Japan in an attempt to thwart interference into their illicit operations by Rachels father, General Erik von Horstmann, who is the director of the narcotics division in the Far East. While on his rest-and-recuperation furlough in Japan, Seth becomes involved in helping to free Rachel from her abductors. A web of intrigue tightens, as all players Rachels father and his rescue team, and the drug lords involved in bargaining for Rachels life escalate the suspense. Added to the nightmare of events, Mother Nature exerts her power, unleashing the damaging fury of a tsunami, which impacts all players.

The contributors and editors of this volume begin from the assumption that the changes wrought by globalization compel us to reflect upon the status of the child and childhood at the end of the 20th century. Their essays consider what techniques and technologies are used to govern the child, what role the family plays, what is global and what is culturally specific in the changes, and how the subject is constructed and construed.
Examining the inherent spatiality of law, both theoretically and as social practice, this book presents a genealogical account of the emergence and the development of the juridical. In an analysis that stretches from ancient Greece, through late antiquity and early modern and modern Europe, and on to the contemporary courtroom, it considers legal and philosophical texts, artistic and literary works, as well as judicial practices, in order to elicit and document a series of critical moments in the history of juridical space. Offering a more nuanced understanding of law than that found in traditional philosophical, political or social accounts of legal history, Dahlberg forges a critical account of the intimate relations between law and politics that shows how juridical space is determined and conditioned in ways that are integral to the very functioning – and malfunctioning – of law.
This book explores European student migration from the perspectives of Eastern European students moving to Western Europe for study. Whilst most research on student migration in Europe focuses on the experiences of Western European students, this book uniquely casts a light on Eastern European student migrants moving to the ‘West’. Mette Ginnerskov-Dahlberg deploys a novel approach to the subject by drawing on insights gleaned from a longitudinal study of master's students pursuing an education abroad and their multifaceted journeys after graduation. Thereby, she brings their narratives to life and highlights the changes and continuities they experienced over a period of seven years, fostering an understanding of student mobility as an activity enmeshed with adult commitments and long-term aspirations. Using Denmark as a case study of a host country, Ginnerskov-Dahlberg analyses the trajectories of these students and situates their experiences within the wider socio-historical context of Eastern European post-socialism and the contemporary dynamics between EU and non-EU citizens in the welfare state of Denmark – reflecting issues playing out on the global stage today. This book will be a valuable resource for students and scholars of migration and mobility studies, as well as human geography, sociology, higher education, area studies and anthropology.
Seth Coleman is a young aspiring architect who has been recognized both nationally and internationally by his peers for his professional accomplishments. He has been invited to speak at Lund University in Sweden on innovative residential designs to accommodate and harness suburban sprawl in large cities, which is of great concern in the Scandinavian countries. A college friend, Fritz Dahl, who lives in Malmo, Sweden is also an architect and is involved in designing a project of great importance to Malmo and Copenhagen, Denmark. Architects and engineers in the mid-1800s had a vision to connect the two countries by a bridge over the Oresund Strait that spans more than ten miles across water. It wasn't until much later architectural designers from both countries developed a workable solution to accomplish their vision. Blueprints were drawn and urgently required to be patented to protect the companies from being victims of industrial espionage. Fritz engages Seth to help him safely transport certain blueprints from Malmo to Copenhagen, when the plot escalates to an intense violent frenzy as Seth is stalked by corporate pirates. To exacerbate Seth's fear in this dangerous escapade of eluding corporate pirates, he and Rachel had the worst argument of their marriage the evening before he flew to Sweden compounding his stress; and he is most anxious to return to the States to reconcile the marriage.
