| Contents
This subject covers the rise of modern North Norway. On the one hand it is concerned with how this area of the country was transformed, with the process of modernization that integrated the region in larger national and global contexts from an economic, political and cultural point of view. But it is also concerned with the obstinate opposition to the reforming powers, with defending tradition. This suspense between the traditional and the modernization that would succeed it is an ongoing theme here. The region also became more integrated through the process of modernization and different political arenas, and a North Norwegian regional identity came into being. This was another contributory factor in the varied route towards North Norway as a region.
