Society we study in country (6)
I believe the answer is:
sweden
'country' is the definition.
(I know that Sweden is a country)
'society we study' is the wordplay.
'society' becomes 's' (common abbreviation in names of organisations).
'study' becomes 'den' (term for a study or office).
's'+'we'+'den'='SWEDEN'
'in' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for sweden that I've seen before include "Nobel's country" , "We send to Scandinavian country" , "land" , "N. European country" , "EU member country" .)
