This book would not have been written if it hadn’t been for Ketil
Raknes of Kristiania University College in Oslo. A close colleague of
Bent Sofus Tranøy and co-author of a chapter in 2019’s volume
Great Policy Successes that started what has now in effect become a
series of case study volumes on policy successes around the word. It
was Ketil who, together with our now two-time chapter author,
Camilla Bakken Øvald, organized a breakfast seminar about the book
in Oslo, and made sure it was attended by the great and the good of
Norwegian politics. And it was Ketil who, during the course of the
day—which involved further presentations of the book in academic
circles—suggested that there ought to be a similar volume dedicated
entirely to the study of policy successes in the Nordic countries.
Well, Ketil, here it is. We hope the result hits the mark of the vision
you had for it three years ago. Your energetic advocacy of the
project led to the formation of this editorial team and the
involvement of dozens of colleagues from across the five Nordic
countries, to whom we are grateful for their exemplary cooperation
and willingness to be guided by the analytical framework of success
assessment.
It has been quite a journey right across the pandemic. A project
that required a great deal of collegial interaction, yet unfolded
entirely online, with due credits going to Zoom, Dropbox and the
various other software applications that we all have got to know so
well and made this possible. Many of us did not meet in person
before May 2022, when the policy successes framework, as well as
examples of success in the Nordics were shared with policymakers in
the Hague. While this meeting marked the end of one journey, it is
also marking the beginning of a continued dialogue and spin-offs
from cases in the book, for instance in the area of social policy.
Furthermore, analysing policies in terms of successes has had a
great bearing on all us, intellectually. We look forward to continuing
to work with the framework, and to bringing this into the classroom.
Dominic Byatt, our editor at Oxford University Press, who also
published the 2019 global volume, gave us a wide berth to
undertake this regional follow-up, alongside a similar project on
Canadian policy successes that was published earlier this year. Like
that volume, ours too has received generous support from the
European Science Foundation under the European Union's Horizon
2020 research and innovation programme (grant agreement n°
694266). We are also grateful for the support from the Nordforsk-
funded Reimagining Norden in an Evolving World (ReNEW) project
number 86036. We are grateful to Laura Scheele and to Anders Weis
Christiansen, Copenhagen Business School, for helping out with the
online workshops in the spring of 2021, where full drafts of all of the
book chapters were presented. While we missed the IRL social
interactions during these meetings, the workshops were effective,
and the break-out rooms created space for some informal
socialization. We are also indebted to Anders Weis Christiansen and
Benjamin Coleman, from Copenhagen Business School, for their
invaluable assistance in beating the manuscript into shape before
submission to the publisher.
