Book excerpt: Known around the world for its social democracy and spectacular scenery, Scandinavia is a fascinating region of northern Europe. Let's take a closer look. This book deals with the consolidation of the Scandinavian states in the Early Modern Era, with a view to popular resistance against the ruling elites' economic privileges, centralization of power and increasing oppression throughout the 16th to the beginning of the 19th century. The many peasant revolts of the era are given due consideration, along with the witch hunt mania which is contended to have been a crucial factor in the very state consolidation process itself.
