520    "This book explores how gender equality, a central part of
       the Nordic imaginary, is used in the political 
       communication of Nordic states. The analyses presented 
       move beyond conventional images and discourses of Nordic 
       gender- and women-friendliness by critically investigating
       how and to what extent gender equality serves nation-
       branding in the Nordic region. Nation-branding is an 
       unescapable part of globalisation, which is a market-
       oriented process dominated by the West and predicated on 
       the creation of winners and losers. Hence, efforts to 
       strengthen the national brand or reputation of specific 
       Nordic countries with the aid of gender equality as a 
       political and symbolic value inevitably help to reinforce 
       already established global hierarchies where the Nordics 
       play the role of moral superpower. This book comprises 
       scholars from various fields of specialisation, and 
       provides evidence and understanding for the growing 
       interaction between gender-equality policies and nation-
       branding in all five Nordic countries. It does so by 
       exploring a variety of policy fields and issues including 
       women's rights, foreign policy, rape and legislation, 
       female quotas and business policies, in addition to the 
       index industry. The rise of the global indexes has 
       reproduced forceful images of the Nordic countries as 
       frontrunners of gender equality, which indeed help the 
       Nordic countries to further position themselves as 'best 
       at being good'. This book will be of great interest to 
       students and scholars of Nordic gender equality in 
       political science, sociology, law, criminology, political 
       psychology and history, as well as those interested in 
       nation branding, Nordic studies and exceptionalism"--
