	Hjerm: Reconstructing 'Positive' Nationalism: Evidence from Norway and Sweden
		Moreover, Sweden has a long history of being an ethnically very homogenous nation-state, which has dramatically changed in recent times when the country has come to be a large immigration country with numerous ethnic minorities represented within the country.
		In Sweden on the other hand it seems possible to assume that the nationalist sentiment is related to negative images of 'others', since nationalism in Sweden takes the form of an evaluational or new nationalism, or is more internally related to people living within the Swedish society.
		People in Norway and Sweden have nationalist sentiments to almost the same extent, in spite of different historical experiences that are often assumed to shape nationalism.

		It would not be going too far to say that the separation of Norway and Sweden in 1905 may be traced to the work of Ibsen and his friends in Christiania.
		The conquest of Norway by this dramatist, who reviled and attacked and abandoned his native land, who railed at every national habit and showed a worm at the root of every national tradition, is amazing.
