One of Telge Glima's activities is performing. Dressed up like peasants 150 years ago, you can catch them present games like "Badger the Bear", "Hitting the Jug" or "Master of the Circle" at open-air museums like Stockholm's Skansen or Old Linköping. Or perhaps you'll come across them on some mediaeval festival, performing even older games, like backwards leaps, tug-of-war, or glima. Next year we'll be celebrating and we're planning on going to the U.S. A few of us were in Texas in 2003 at a Viking festival, but this time we're all coming. We're looking into festivals and the likes where we could fit in. There are some ideas about where to go and what to do, but mainly we're open to any ideas. We'll perform as long as someone can provide us with a place to sleep, something to eat and a...

Traveling with [Laurie Jacobi] to the market was like traveling with a rock star," says Jan Michaletz, Chair of the Board of the American Swedish Institute in Minneapolis, who joined Laurie on a trip to the event, which was established by the Saami, the indigenous people of Scandinavia, more than 400 years ago. "Everyone knew Laurie's and [Mary Jane Miller]'s work. When people see their creations, they are in awe - they capture the spirit of Scandinavia without being costume-y. It's a unique representation of modern Sweden. People love it. "There's an authenticity to what we create that touches people," notes Laurie. "It's so much more than just fashion. There's a mystical, spiritual element that speaks to a certain kind of person. Not the kind of person who says, 'Oh, that's cute, bu...
There are more than 50,000 international treaties, 600 of which cover multilateral trade issues. They help to create a secure legal environment that will attract investors and boost trade, laying the foundation for sustainable growth, jobs and income. Developing countries are facing problems, however, because there are hundreds of such multilateral treaties, with many more coming into being, and many organizations dealing with them. While it is important for countries to choose the right treaties from those already in place, they could also take part in developing the many treaties that are still being created. Until recently, the focus of international organizations has been on making trade rules, without really considering how easy -- or difficult -- it is for the rules to be applied ...

Apart from enjoying Swedish traditions like Lucia and Valborg, having dinners and inviting exciting Speakers, the ladies of Svea were also the ones who jumpstarted the children's activities at the Swedish Church in New York (something many Swedish parents are thankful for), and they also Sponsor the annual Christmas Crafts for the little ones at Scandinavia House. Nordic Reach met with six of Svea's members over a glass of white wine on a sunny early summer afternoon. Why did you start [Svea]? When I started Svea 35 years ago, it was to gather Swedish women who lived permanently in New York. I had married an American man, and I felt that 'OK, I will remain for the rest of my life in America' and that thought was a bit worrisome to me. I think it's especially important for women who are ...

Nicolas Sarkozy, President of France, managed to erase "free and undistorted competition" from the proposed new EU Treaty as a main aim of the European Union. Afterwards, he asked rhetorically what competition has done for Europe. This article is an attempt to reply to that very important question. The view of competition and its effects among decision-makers is likely to affect numerous policy outcomes. Throughout history, there has been a struggle between freedom and control in Europe. Competition is the result of economic freedom and the absence of interventions in the economy by the state. And it has done very much indeed for Europe. It may be the single most important reason why the average income in Western Europe is 14 times higher today than in 1820. If anything, Europe needs mo...

Ecovillages aren't exactly a novel phenomenon; they were already being built in the 1980's and 90's and in many parts of the world. The Scandinavian closeness to nature and a lifestyle that offers ample opportunities to lead a life that puts family and quality time outside of work on par with career and work does, however, generally make the Nordic societies a perfect fit for these 'new' living conditions. The main principle is to build houses as environmentally friendly as possible, using renewable energy whenever feasible, recycling garbage, and bringing human waste back to nature. There's often a social ambition in these ecovillages: share tools and machinery, and work together in order to leave as small a carbon footprint as possible. Add to that a desire to use locally grown produc...
