Demografien, den økonomiske krise og sundhedsvæsenet
Authors: Pedersen Kjeld Møller
Published: December 2018

Danish forecasts for 2040 of the economic consequences of population ageing and longer life expectancy are critically reviewed. Alone for 2010-2020 an annual increase in spending of 4-5 billion Dkr is needed accord- ing to the best estimates. To this is added the consequences of the economic crisis. e annual growth rate has come down from 3,3% p.a. to close to 1%. is situation is put into perspective by looking at the scal sustainability of the whole public sector and how much health care adds to the challenge of staying scal sustainable: At least 0,7% of BNP out of a sustainability index of 1,1% is due to health care. No coherent strategy for coping with demographics and the economic crisis has been developed. A number of initiatives are discussed and evaluated: Increased productivity, elimination of the costs of bad quality in health care, tougher prioritization by changing indication levels for treatment, and increased preventive activities, e.g. readmission to hospital. At present no radical reform proposal for the health care sector are discussed.
Eurokrisen og EU: Fra utilstrækkelige strategier til problematisk føderalisering?
Authors: Kelstrup Morten
Published: December 2018

The so-called ‘Eurocrisis’ consists of a complicated pattern of di erent economic and political crises. e article identi es some of the most important of these and attempts to characterize EU’s answers to them. It concludes that EU’s present priority to a legal-administrative strategy of budget control which economically implies a policy of austerity also as answer to depression, is clearly insu cient, and that EU’s present plans for a federalization of the Eurozone which can be seen as a continuation of the legal-administrative strategy of budget control, is going to create new problems if it is implemented.

Demokratisering og populisme: Det latinamerikanske alternativ til nyliberalismen
Authors: Jensen Carsten
Published: December 2018

According to the political philosopher Ernesto Laclau both Latin American left populists like the newly elected President Nicolas Maduro in Venezuela and European social democrats would bene t from a politi- cal alliance. United they would stand stronger in the challenge to global neoliberalism. is article covers the theoretical and historical back ground to these political ideas in Laclaus works. Especially the role of the concept of Radical Democracy is highlighted. e article questions if di erent views on personal leadership and authoritarian leaders in the third world on the left in Latin America and in Europe will be a barrier to closer cooperation.
Venstreorienterede der blev højreorienterede uden at vide det
Authors: Dyrberg Torben Bech
Published: December 2018

In the article I argue that today’s Left has adopted several characteristics, which used to identify the reaction- ary right. e basic reason is that since the late 1940s it has gradually adopted a culturalist outlook and thus turned against the Enlightenment tradition. I locate 6 shifts in the last 7 decades, which come in pairs. e critique of modernity and the irt with conservative anti-imperialism in the late 1940s; the anti-authoritarian critique and the resentment against post-scarcity society and the anti-imperialism in the rst post-trend in the 1960/70s; and the disillusioned relativism and multiculturalism of the second post-trend in the 1980/90.

Lighed med hensyn til hvad? Komparativ klimapolitik og politisk teori om lighed
Authors: Nedergaard Peter
Published: December 2018

This article unveils for the rst time the political norms of equality promoted by the EU, China and the US with regard to their respective views on the allocation of CO2 emission reductions. ree di erent schools of thought are identi ed. e rst school perceives the principle of equality as a matter relating to existing emissions in a given base year. e second sees equality as an issue of all countries being equally e ective in combating emissions. e third school perceives equality as basic equal rights to all the Earth’s resources. All in all, the detection of the underlying and di erent standards of equality provides a deepened understanding of the positions by the EU, China and the US in international climate politics.
The Nature of the State of Nature: Hobbes, Sovereignty and Biopolitics
Authors: Popp-Madsen Benjamin Ask
Published: December 2018

The large amount of theoretical debates over the notion of biopolitics originally emerges from Michel Fou- cault’s discussions of sovereignty, disciplinary power and biopolitics. Here, biopolitics is conceptualised as a qualitatively di erent and modern regime of power developed in contrast to the model of sovereignty. e ultimate theorist of sovereignty in the canon of Western political thought is omas Hobbes, and in Leviathan two important transitions for the sovereign model takes place: the human being transcends his animal-like condition and becomes a subject, a transition from the image of homo homini lupus to the image of the political subject, and the relation between human beings changes from the of war of all against all to the politics of the state, thus the possibility of politics emerges. Interestingly, as the concept of biopolitics is developed against the backdrop of this theory of sovereignty, both Michel Foucault and Giorgio Agamben delivers detailed interpretations of Hobbes’ state of nature. By analysing these interpretations, the article tries to understand the emergence of a distinctively biopolitical conception of man and the political in contrast to the conceptions in the paradigm of sovereignty.

Ekspertens brød, den intellektuelles død? Politik, viden og teknologi under den nukleare revolution
Authors: Van Munster Rens , Sylvest Casper
Published: December 2018

The relationship between science and politics is not singular. In this article we focus on the thermonuclear revolution that resulted in dramatic changes to modern knowledge economies. During the 1950s and early 1960s the production of scienti c knowledge was increasingly militarized and a general trend in the role of knowledge providers – away from the sage or intellectual and towards the expert – was accelerated. ere were, however, countertrends. We describe how some of the most signi cant and thoroughgoing critique of the nuclear age was formulated on the margins of or outside the academic world by a group of thinkers (that we term nuclear realists). For these thinkers, the thermonuclear revolution became the catalyst for new visions of global politics that sought to undermine and transgress the ideological rationale behind national security and the establishment of the military-industrial complex, particularly in the United States. Although the historical analysis of the thermonuclear revolution constitutes an extreme case, it harbours signi cant chal- lenges in relation to the nexus between politics, scienti c knowledge and global politics.
Borgerinddragelse, videnskab og ekspertise: Deliberation om biodiversitet
Authors: Jæger Birgit
Published: December 2018

How is scienti c knowledge and experience of laypeople mixed when citizens participate in public engage- ment events? Drawing on an STS approach to ‘scienti c citizenship’ and ‘socially robust knowledge’, and an approach to ‘deliberative democracy’, this paper presents an analysis of how scienti c knowledge was pre- sented and used by citizens participating in a global hearing on biodiversity in 2012. e analysis shows that the presented scienti c knowledge, together with the themes of discussion, framed the deliberation among the citizens in a way that made it di cult for them to enact scienti c citizenship. However, due to a shared belief that citizens are responsible for their actions, the citizens managed to add their own perspective, based on their experience and values, to the scienti c knowledge and in this way they contributed to the process of creating socially robust knowledge.
Madborgerskab? Når videnskab møder hverdagspraksis
Authors: Halkier Bente
Published: December 2018

Food is an ordinary practice in everyday life. At the same time, food practices become politicised through at- tempts to regulate food related collective problems such as health, risk and climate by way of encouraging self- disciplining and normative regulation of everyday habits among citizens. Such regulatory technologies cover medialised change communication, and in the food eld, such communication often builds upon scienti c knowledge and arguments. us, when citizens relate to such communication, links between complicated scienti c knowledges and everyday translations are produced. Building on a practice theoretical approach, the article shows three empirically based ways in which Danish citizens handle scienti cally based change communication on food in their daily lives: Empowerment, resistance towards disciplining, and do-ability. e typology demonstrates that citizenship in the scienti cally based politicised food eld – „food-izenship“ – is more varied and compound than presumed in the existing approaches to change communication and the Public Understanding of Science literature.
Politisering av religion i norske kommuner? En undersøkelse av religionens rolle i lokale feiringer
Authors: Botvar Pål Ketil
Published: December 2018

In this article I will take a look at how local municipalities deal with religion when the topic is brought up in local politics. e development towards a multicultural society leads to religion having a more prominent place in the public sphere. During the last 10 years religion has become a theme in public policy at the local level. Such examples are the provision of special rooms or buildings for religious groups to have their ceremo- nies. School children visiting church sermons during school hours is another issue that leads to controversies. In this article I will focus on how representatives for the local community deal with topics related to religion in local festivities and celebrations. e data material relates to how municipalities organize the national day celebration and interact with civil society actors in the preparation of this celebration.
Kontinuitet og forandring i statens mål- og resultatstyringskoncept
Authors: Kristiansen Mads Bøge
Published: December 2018

This article analyses the development process of the Management by Objectives and Results (MBOR) dis- course over time in central government in Denmark. e article shows that MBOR has been marked by continuity since its introduction in the 1980s, and has become a central element in the steering and man- agement of agencies in central government. Nevertheless, gradual changes that have altered the direction of the MBOR discourse over time can also be identi ed. e direction changes from autonomy and a simple MBOR system in the early years towards more control and a more comprehensive system in the 1990s, and back again toward more autonomy and a less comprehensive MBOR system in recent years. In the nal sec- tion of the paper explanations of the development patterns are discussed.

Organiseringen af Alternativ Politisk Deltagelse: Udkast til en Typologi
Authors: Husted Emil
Published: December 2018

The objective of this paper is essentially two-folded. First and foremost, the paper seeks to discuss and prob- lematize the conventional view on political participation as something primarily involving voting and formal party membership. e paper departs from the assumption that the bulk of academic literature on democracy has been overly preoccupied with conventional channels for political participation, and that this myopic view has turned a blind eye towards important enactments of democratic engagement. Building on the discourse theory of Ernesto Laclau and Chantal Mou e, the paper thus proposes a conceptualization of ‘alternative’ political participation as something involving counter-hegemonic articulations that strive to challenge the current constitution of society. e second objective of the paper is to propose a typological sketch of the organization of alternative political participation. e purpose of the typology is to provide a framework for exploring the many ways in which alternative political participation is currently being enacted. Based on two mutually constitutive axes (a political and an organizational), the typology describes four types of alternative political organizations. ese ‘ideal types’ are then exempli ed through four illustrative cases. Two of these cases – e Alternative and Occupy Wall Street – are nally examined in detail.
After Governance: A Normative Re ection on Civil Society Participation in Policy Processes
Authors: Kutay Acar
Published: December 2018

This paper discusses the normative implications of a political vision that aims to integrate civil society into new governance mechanisms, pragmatic governance in particular, by virtue of the funding of civil society organisations. is vision has led to a marked increase in both funding for civil society and in the assignment of governance tasks to civil society organisations that are normally performed by the public sector. However, some of the crucial aspects of these normative, ontological perspectives are either counter-factual or limited by at least two major factors: 1) the prevailing technocratic style of policy making used in pragmatic govern- ance, and 2) the proliferation of managerialism, i.e. the idea that any kind of social organisation must be administered by managers and that the public and civil society sectors should use of corporate/business sector professional management techniques and tools. Both pragmatic governance and managerialism a ect, and re-de ne, the traditional conception of civil society as autonomous, authentic, voluntary organisations that act as a check and balance on the excessive use of power by the state.

En offentlig hemmelighed: Når sikkerhedspolitik går fra statsmandskunst til allemandseje
Authors: Petersen Karen Lund , Tjalve Vibeke Schou
Published: December 2018

New forms of information and communication technology, surveillance and data collection have blurred the boundary between public and private responsibility: whereas it used to be only the statesman and his selected few who made decisions regarding national security, it is, in the age of unpredictability and resilience, a very wide range of both state and civilian actors who, on a daily basis, participate in the national intelligence practice. is article argues that a new security politics, driven by the notion of unpredictable risks and made possible by new data and surveillance technologies, has created a new kind of intelligence practice in which ethico-democratic questions about ownership, responsibility and control are urgent. e intelligence services’ current answer to these questions is more ‘method’ and better ‘procedures’. is is, however, not good enough. By identifying not just an ethos of rules but also an ethos of judgement in the Western tradition of state, this article recommends that we rediscover and democratise the line of thinking in our bureaucratic ethos that emphasises the ability to make (self-)critical judgements.
Prioritering, profilering og politisk orientering. Engagement og aktivisme i dansk udviklings- og bistandspolitik 1962-2015
Authors: Olesen Thorsten Borring
Published: December 2018

Since the late 1970s Denmark has persistently belonged to the small group of states honouring the UN goal for rich countries to donate at least 0,7 per cent of GNP yearly in o cial development aid. is approach has allowed Denmark to pursue an activist policy both multilaterally within international development institutions such as the World Bank, DAC, UNDP, etc. and bilaterally in relation to development countries where Danida, the central Danish aid organization, has been active. Development aid activism and inter- nationalism reached a zenith in the decade after the fall of the Berlin wall when Danish ODA passed the 1 per cent threshold and when the aid component under the heading of „active multilateralism“ was sought integrated into all dimensions of Danish foreign policy. is trend was reversed in the period after 2001 when the Liberal Fogh Rasmussen government took o ce backed by the development aid sceptics in the Danish People’s Party. Critics even maintain that Danish development has seen change resembling a paradigm shift in the post-2001 period. e problem, however, is complex and therefore, on the basis of an analysis of the prioritizing, the orientation and the international pro ling of Danish development aid, this article seeks to disentangle and discuss continuities and break in the role of development aid in Danish foreign policy since the adoption of the rst Danish development aid law in 1962.
Norske tankesmier i mediene: En suksesshistorie
Authors: Bjerke Paul
Published: December 2018

The last decade have a number of advocacy think tanks established themselves as a part of the Norwegian political system. The think tanks’ political goal is to influence decision makers and populations, and visibility in the traditional media is an important means. We know little about if they manage to reach their goals, but a content analysis of the largest Norwegian newspapers shows that they have significantly achieved media visibility. 12 advocacy think tanks were active in Norway in 2013. All of them are small. All together they employ 30-40 people. Despite this limited scope, they were in 2013 featured 565 times in the country’s seven largest newspapers, substantially more than central and much mission-research institute. The review is mainly positive and according to the think tanks’ own terms. They are largely labelled as a "neutral experts", not part-sources.
Think tanks in Denmark – Media visibility and Network Relations
Authors: Blach-Ørsten Mark , Nørgaard Kristensen Nete
Published: December 2018

Though think tanks have a long history internationally, they have especially in recent years come to play an increasingly important role in both policy-formulation and public debate. In this article, we analyse the growing presence of think tanks in a Danish context during the 2000s and the first half of the 2010s, because in this national setting think tanks are still a relatively new phenomenon. Based on theories of mediatization and de-corporatization, we present 1) an analysis of the visibility of selected Danish think tanks in the media and 2) an analysis of their political networks outside the media. The study shows that the two largest and oldest think tanks in Denmark, the liberal think tank CEPOS and the social democratic think tank ECLM, are very active and observable in the media; that the media’s distribution of attention to these think tanks, to some extent, confirms a re-politicization of Danish newspapers; but also that the news media as an arena of influence is only one part of the equation, since some of the corporatist political networks are still intact and working outside the media.
Kommunalreformen og kommunernes interne organisering og styring
Authors: Ibsen Marius
Published: December 2018

When local government in Denmark was reformed almost 10 years ago, the political and administrative organization was left unchanged. By law Danish municipalities must have a committee form of government, but each municipality is free to organize its administration as it sees fit. This had led to a great deal of diversity in the way the municipal administration is organized but also to a wave of locally directed reform. One of the themes of these reforms has been the organization of top management. Should each department be run more or less on its own, subject to coordination, or should there be a top management team collectively responsible for the whole enterprise. The article describes the variation in administrative organization and makes an attempt to analyze the effects of the various forms of top management organization with respect to economic results.  The conclusion is that having a top management team leads to a bigger surplus, confirming an often-stated assumption.  It is shown that municipalities that were reformed in 2007 are slightly more likely to have a top management team than the non-reformed municipalities. So it seems that the reform contributed to organizational change, although that was not the official intention.
Hvorfor Habermas’ vision for et demokratisk EU ikke kan stå alene
Authors: Brasso Sørensen Ditte Maria
Published: December 2018

This article discusses Habermas’ vision of a supranational yet democratic EU. The article engages in a discussion of what I take to be two problematic elements of Habermas’ model of EU democracy. Firstly, it discusses the European Parliament as a representative channel, which should, according to Habermas, be strengthened. I here raise the concern that Habermas is not sufficiently sensitive to the tension between the recognition of a weak public and the desire for a strong Parliament. Secondly, I discuss whether executive federalism can also be circumvented by strengthening not just the representation of the European citizens, but also by strengthening parliamentarian representation of the European peoples. Based on these two critiques I end up arguing that Habermas’ vision for EU democracy would benefit from drawing inspiration from the demoicracy literature’s focus on alternative channels of representation.
Den Europæiske Union: Supranationalt demokrati eller international konsolideringsstat?
Authors: Frøslee Ibsen Malte
Published: December 2018

This article discusses the recent debate between Jürgen Habermas and Wolfgang Streeck on the relationship between capitalism and democracy in Europe. The article recounts Streeck’s analysis of the financial crisis, the transformation of the tax state into the debt state, and the development of the EU towards an international consolidation state, which informs Streeck’s call for a retreat from Europe to the nation-state as the last line of defense against neoliberal capitalism. The article proceeds to sketch Habermas’s criticism of Streeck’s argument, and it illustrates how Habermas’ proposal for a reconstitution of the EU as a supranational democracy is motivated by foundational concerns in his critical theory of society. Finally, the article argues that the debate results in an unresolved dilemma: while only a democratized EU can reestablish the supremacy of politics over globalized markets, the EU is more likely to become further entrenched as an international consolidation state.
Challenging the Sovereign: Three Types of Early Modern Federal Theory
Authors: Smolenski Jan
Published: December 2018

In this paper, I develop three ideal types of early modern federal theories: sovereignty relativizing federalism, sovereignty pooling federalism, and bottom-up federalism. Each of these types respond to a different political effect of the development of the modern state: organ sovereignty, hostile geopolitical environment, and disempowerment of the society as a corollary to organ sovereignty, respectively. Each of these types conceives of the federation as an alternative to the state. I compare and contrast these types along the lines of implementation of the federal principle of self- and shared rule, the criteria of evaluation of federal arrangements, and the normative implications.

Media Ecology and the Blurring of Public and Private Practices: A Case from the Middle East
Authors: De Franco Chiara
Published: December 2018

This paper aims at posing the basis for a new conceptualization of the impact of ‘old’ and ‘new’ media in international politics by creating a dialogue between the practice theoretical approach in IR (Adler and Pouliot 2011) and the medium theory in media studies (Meyrowitz 1985). Building on these approaches, the paper argues that in order to understand the role of the media in international politics it is necessary to shift the focus from media outlets and organisations to the media as environments, and from media content to media ecology. In fact, the paper argues that changes in the media ecology can produce changes in the social settings where international practices develop. It particular, it argues that the media ecology can affect the articulation of public and private and lead to the emergence of international practices where appropriate and competent behaviour reconstitute the private in the public (and vice versa). To explore its theoretical claims further and clarify how useful this approach can be to understand the role of the media in the Middle East, the paper discusses how an Israeli/Iranian movement catalysed by a Facebook (FB) page attempts at fostering peace. It explains how such a group has developed a Transnational Activist Network (TAN) bringing people together through shared private experiences.
‘The Face of Evil’: The Discourse on ISIS and the Visual Complexities in the ISIS Beheading Videos
Authors: Patruss Kanar
Published: December 2018

This article deals with ISIS’s beheading videos of Western victims from 2014 and inscribes itself into an emerging body of literature on visuality in IR. The paper contends that the image of ISIS beheadings has been mobilized in a Western political discourse that classifies ISIS as evil, and has hereby helped shape the conditions under which international politics operate. The article offers a Nietzsche-inspired critique of the value judgment of evil in the Western discourse and, in extension, seeks to nuance the assessment of ISIS through a ‘re-reading’ of the beheading image. For this purpose, the article proposes to expand Lene Hansen’s concept of inter-iconicity to capture how an icon’s meaning is produced in relation to other icons and, in this light, explores the inter-iconic relations between the image of ISIS beheadings, on the one hand, and the decapitations of the French Revolution and the image of the ‘body politic’, on the other. The inter-iconic reading draws out alternative meanings of the image of ISIS beheadings that counter the classification of ISIS as evil, thereby expanding the conditions for political speech and action regarding ISIS and opening up space for a broader critique of politically motivated violence.
Lige for lige? Kønssegregering i Folketingsudvalg og i ledelsen af det private erhvervsliv
Authors: Fiig Christina , Verner Mette
Published: December 2018

In this article, we describe and discuss the vertical and horizontal gender segregation in the elites of Danish Parliamentary politics and private business. Our new data on the gender distribution on corporate boards of publicly traded firms show how women are absent among board chairs and CEOs and illustrates the low representation of women among board members.  Among members of Parliamentary committees a more equal gender representation is found, however, there is a clear tendency toward a vertical and a horizontal segregation. Our findings show that women MPs are less represented in certain Parliamentary committees on foreign affairs, economy, finance, tax and transportation. This distribution mirrors other country studies on Parliamentary committees. We propose two hypotheses in order to explain our explorative study: a thesis on a gender bias of certain policy areas and a hypothesis on the significance of the ‘public eye’. Concerning the latter, our results illustrate how institutions subject to ‘the public eye’ have more balanced gender compositions than institutions with less public attention, like corporate boards.

Drones and the Threshold for Waging War
Authors: Di Nucci Ezio
Published: December 2018

If drones make waging war easier, the reason why they do so may not be the one commonly assumed within the philosophical debate – namely, the promised reduction in casualties on either side – but a more complicated one. One that has little to do with the concern for one’s own soldiers or, for that matter, the enemy, but rather one that is embedded in the political intricacies of international relations and domestic politics. This article will utilize the example of the Obama Administration’s drone policies to illustrate this argument. This analysis is also meant to have a wider methodological significance; that philosophy can make an important contribution in analyzing drone warfare. However, philosophy will not help to simplify realities and provide easy solutions.
Evidensdagsordenens metamorfoser i dansk socialpolitik
Authors: Møller Anne Mette
Published: December 2018

For almost two decades, the idea of evidence-based practice has influenced debates about the development of social services. Applying theoretical concepts from Scandinavian institutionalism, the article views evidence-based practice as a loosely coupled stream of ideas, which are continuously theorized and translated by heterogeneous organizational actors.  Based on qualitative interviews with 10 political elite actors, who have all participated in the policy debate and had the opportunity to influence developments during the past 10 years, the analysis traces how these actors’ theorizations of evidence-based practice have developed over time, how they explain developments, and what characterizes their current theorizations. Two currently predominating theorizations are identified: One emphasizes the crucial challenge of advancing practitioners’ skills and building reflective organizations, while the other focuses on the production of evidence in relation to data-driven management. Both theorizations involve a shift in focus from global to local evidence production, while the ideal of the autonomous ‘evidence-based practitioner’, which characterized the original “Evidence-Based Medicine”-movement, is largely absent.
Desecuritization as Displacement of Controversy: geopolitics, law and sovereign rights in the Arctic
Authors: Jacobsen Marc , Strandsbjerg Jeppe
Published: December 2018

By signing the Ilulissat Declaration of May 2008, the five littoral states of the Arctic Ocean pre-emptively desecuritized potential geopolitical controversies in the Arctic Ocean by confirming that international law and geo-science are the defining factors underlying the future delimitation. This happened in response to a rising securitization discourse fueled by commentators and the media in the wake of the 2007 Russian flag planting on the geographical North Pole seabed, which also triggered harder interstate rhetoric and dramatic headlines. This case, however, challenges some established conventions within securitization theory. It was state elites that initiated desecuritization and they did so by shifting issues in danger of being securitized from security to other techniques of government. Contrary to the democratic ethos of the theory, these shifts do not necessarily represent more democratic procedures. Instead, each of these techniques are populated by their own experts and technocrats operating according to logics of right (law) and accuracy (science). While shifting techniques of government might diminish the danger of securitized relations between states, the shift generates a displacement of controversy. Within international law we have seen controversy over its ontological foundations and within science we have seen controversy over standards of science. Each of these are amplified and take a particularly political significance when an issue is securitized via relocation to another technique. While the Ilulissat Declaration has been successful in minimizing the horizontal conflict potential between states it has simultaneously given way for vertical disputes between the signatory states on the one hand and the Indigenous peoples of the Arctic on the other.
Post-colonial governance through securitization? A narratological analysis of a securitization controversy in contemporary Danish and Greenlandic uranium policy
Authors: Rasmussen Rasmus Kjærgaard , Merkelsen Henrik
Published: December 2018

The complex constitutional relationship between Greenland and Denmark has had no clearer manifestation than the last decade’s juridical and political wranglings over the control for uranium. In the article, we argue that the quarrel between Nuuk and Copenhagen found in their diverging uranium policies can be seen as what we term a ’securitization controversy’. That is, a form of negotiating process which delicately postpones securitization proper due to the entangled role of the uranium issue in the independence debate. Through narrative analysis of contemporary Danish and Greenlandic government policy documents (2008-2016) we thus demonstrate how Greenlandic documents attempt to desecuritize risks pertinent to extraction of uranium and REE while Danish government papers seek to risikfy uranium in order to keep the issue open to future securitization. In the analysis, we further show how certain risks in the policy papers are connected and constitute a narrative conflict involving identity and sovereignty. We argue, that the controversy found at policy level in turn is the result of the underlying ‘sovereignty game’ in the constitutional relationship between the two countries. The article introduces a methodological framework for studying such securitization controversies drawing on risk analysis and narratology. We argue that in order to account for the entangled and narrative nature of the discursive movements in the policy texts, structural narratology can be a viable methodological alternative to the Copenhagen School’s preferred method of discourse analysis.

Rummets grammatik: Helende arkitektur i psykiatrien
Authors: Simonsen Thorben , Højlund Holger
Published: December 2018

That spaces matter in psychiatric treatment is far from a novel insight in the field of psychiatry, but novelty can be found in the ways that space is directly related to a particular approach to treatment, as is the case with ’healing architecture’. Healing architecture is a key architectural principle in newer hospital facilities, where the notion of recovery has been written into these newer psychiatric facilities together with the architectural principle of healing architecture. This article examines the juxtaposition of recovery with healing architecture in a newly built psychiatric hospital in Slagelse, Denmark. Based on qualitative material consisting of observations, interviews and documents, the manner in which the hospital building itself is expected to be an important component in the provision of mental health is explored. Based on the work of German philosopher Peter Sloterdijk the article shows how the notion of recovery is explicated through three design principles developed by the architects during the design of the psychiatric hospital in Slagelse. The principles are: healing architecture, hierarchy and transparency. It is argued that the three principles together constitute a spatial grammar, which expresses a particular atmospheric politics in the approach to the treatment of mental illness.
A regionalized river water quality model calibration method based on watershed physical characteristics: application to the Cau River in Vietnam
Authors: Audet Lise , Duchesne Sophie , Kokutse Nomessi
Published: December 2018

A methodology is proposed for the calibration of river water quality models on large watersheds, in the absence of intensive measurements for water quality and quantity. This methodology is based on: 1) the use of the results from a hydrological model to provide the required hydrological variables to the water quality model; 2) five assumptions for the definition of initial and boundary conditions; 3) a three-step regionalized calibration method, in which the specific characteristics of the different subwatersheds are taken into account and 4) the adjustment of some parameters in order to reproduce processes that are not explicitly represented in the model. The regionalized calibration method relies on a comprehensive study of the land use and characteristics on each subwatershed and the definition of different sets of parameters values in distinct regions. Application to the Cau River, in Vietnam, with QUAL-GIBSI, an adaptation of the QUAL2E model, showed that: i) calibration and validation results were significantly improved by applying regionalized calibration as compared to an initial calibration for which a single set of parameters values was used for the whole simulated river stretch and ii) use of a hydrological model to provide discharge at various points in the watershed allowed to overcome the lack of detailed measurements of discharge at locations other than the watershed outlet.

La dégradation de la qualité de l’eau des bassins versants est principalement due au développement socio-économique, dont découlent la croissance démographique, l’urbanisation, l’industrialisation et l’intensification de l’agriculture. La gestion intégrée des ressources en eau par bassin versant (GIEBV) peut être appliquée pour limiter cet impact négatif. Le modèle GIBSI (Gestion Intégrée par Bassin versant à l’aide d’un Système Informatisé) est un outil qui peut être utilisé pour cette GIEBV. GIBSI inclut notamment un sous-modèle pour la production et le transport de l'azote et du phosphore (PO) ainsi qu’un sous-modèle pour la qualité de l’eau en rivière (Qual-GIBSI). Cette étude est axée principalement sur l’applicabilité de ces deux sous-modèles dans une zone tropicale avec un climat de type mousson dans un contexte de données restreintes. Cet exercice a comme objectif, entre autres, de valider si ces sous-modèles sont applicables dans ces conditions. L’application permet également de vérifier dans quelle mesure les normes de qualité de l’eau en rivière sont respectées. Le bassin versant de la rivière Cau au Vietnam est utilisé comme cas d’application. Nous avons démontré à travers cette étude que, même sur ce bassin versant tropical soumis à la mousson où les données disponibles sont limitées en quantité et en qualité, les modèles PO et Qual-GIBSI peuvent apporter des informations utiles pour la gestion de la qualité de l’eau.

U cilju ostvarenja određenih ciljeva (ekonomskih, socijalnih i okruženskih) neophodno je što efikasnije upravljati kapitalom u trgovini. Za te svrhe vrlo je značajno poznavati ključne determinante prinosa od kapitala u trgovini. U ovom radu se primenom određenih teorijsko-metodoloških saznanja istražuje uticaj ključnih (dvanaest) faktora na prinos od kapitala u trgovini Srbije za 2015. i 2016. Njihovo poznavanje je vrlo značajno primenom adekvatnih mera za poboljšanje efikasnosti upravljanja kapitalom (prinosa od kapitala) trgovine u Srbiji u budućnosti. (JEL klasifikacija: F65 L81 M40)

S obzirom na to da je zadovoljstvo poslom veoma važan faktor položaja zaposlenih, u radu je analizirana ocjena zadovoljstva poslom u malim i srednjim preduzećima u Brčko distriktu Bosne i Hercegovine. Analiza je provedena na bazi rezultata Naučno-stručnog istraživanja „Položaj zaposlenih u malim i srednjim preduzećima u Brčko distriktu Bosne i Hercegovine“, koje je 2017. godine realizovano na Ekonomskom fakultetu Brčko.Zadovoljstvo poslom najprije je posmatrano kao kategorijalno obilježje, sa ocjenom zadovoljstva kroz pet modaliteta, od izuzetno zadovoljnog do izuzetno nezadovoljnog, a nakon toga ocjena zadovoljstva poslom iskazana je numeričkim ocjenama od jedan do pet. Pored opšte ocjene zadovoljstva zaposlenih u malim i srednjim preduzećima, razmatrano je i zadovoljstvo poslom prema najvažnijim socio-demografskim obilježjima zaposlenih.U radu je provedena statistička analiza povezanosti modaliteta posmatranih obilježja, kao i analiza sličnosti i razlika aritmetičkih sredina uzoraka primjenom t-testa i Analize varijanse. Prilikom analize rezultata ocjene obilježja „zadovoljstvo poslom“ korišćen je Hi-kvadrat test zasnovan na Analizi tabela kontingencije, a kod obilježja „ocjena zadovoljstva“ korišćen je t-test za poređenje aritmetičkih sredina nezavisnih uzoraka, kao i Analiza varijanse.Bez obzira na određene razlike u ocjeni zadovoljstva zaposlenih u malim i srednjim preduzećima, rezultati upućuju na zaključak da je većina zaposlenih u najvećoj mjeri zadovoljna poslom koji obavljaju. Slično se može reći i za ocjenu zadovoljstva poslom u odnosu na određena socio-demografska obilježja zaposlenih, osim određenih razlika u ocjeni zadovoljstva zavisno od položaja zaposlenih u preduzeću.
ECONOMIC OPTIMIZATION OF SOCIO-EDUCATIONAL SERVICES PROVISION IN NEW RURAL SETTLEMENTS: CASE OF PERM SUBURB IN RUSSIA

Urban metropolitan areas continue to grow not only due to population growth in rural areas, but also by creating new settlements. The establishment of new settlements in the rural suburbs of major cities became widespread in Russia 15 years ago. For instance, 14 settlements formed around Perm in the past six years. Such settlements do not have any production (economic) importance by themselves. At the same time, the establishment of social infrastructure is not planned initially. At the first stage municipalities, in which new settlements form, receive significant economic benefit from the development of the rural suburban resettlement – village administrations budget is replenished by property and land taxes. For example, in the suburban district of Permskii Krai, through the establishment of new settlements, budget increased by 37-43% annually. The need of providing several new settlements with social facilities (e.g. schools, kindergartens, etc.) comes gradually. The establishment of such facilities within the boundaries of the rural municipalities is estimated at hundreds of millions Russian rubles. Thus, all the initial economic benefits from the development of new settlements are lost. Therefore, it appears that there is a need to develop optimization models of educational facilities within the boundaries of municipalities, in order to optimize their number, size and location. The aim of the developed model is minimizing both distance to educational facilities and cost of these facilities. Calculations show that the development of a regional optimization scheme of socio-educational environment of a rural settlement within the boundaries of the suburban zone will reduce expenditure on establishment and operation of these facilities on average by 20-25%.

Među najznačajnijim faktorima u kreiranju konkurentske prednosti organizacije je njena sposobnost da efektivno koristi postojeće i kreira novo znanje. Menadžment znanja kao koncept prepoznat je kao jedan od najvažnijih menadžment alata. Međutim, uprkos uočenom padu u korišćenju formalnih programa menadžmenta znanja u organizacijama, razmena informacija i korisnog znanja je od izuzetnog značaja za organizacije. Danas se kompanije neprekidno moraju prilagođavati novim tehnologijama i konstantno promenljivom poslovnom okruženju. Kompanije usled toga moraju da iznađu načine da identifikuju korisno, primenljivo znanje, i da stvore i razviju kulturu deljenja znanja kako bi se podstakla razmena znanja i iskustava zaposlenih i kreiranje novog znanja. Nove tehnologije, sa druge strane, mogu povećati sveukupnu efektivnost menadžmenta znanja jer u značajnoj meri daju doprinos procesima menadžmenta znanja. Ovo je naročito važno u procesu kreiranja novog, distinktivnog znanja u nekoj organizaciji.
MOGUĆNOSTI PRIMJENE OBRAČUNA TROŠKOVA PO AKTIVNOSTIMA U JAVNOM SEKTORU

Poslovno okruženje u današnje vrijeme postalo je dinamičnije i nepredvidivo. Karakteriše ga progresivno smanjenje troškova rada i materijala i intenzivna upotreba tehnologije, a ovim pomjeranjem opšti troškovi postaju značajan dio ukupnih troškova. Alokacija opštih troškova na proizvode i usluge, ukoliko nije u skladu sa principom uzročnosti, može dovesti do pogrešnih informacija koje nisu djelotvorne i ne odražavaju korišćenje resursa organizacije. U današnjem okruženju tradicionalni sistemi obračuna troškova ne pružaju tačne informacije o troškovima, dok troškovi zasnovani na aktivnostima (ABC) mogu pružiti djelotvorniji upravljački sistem. ABC nije samo poboljšanje konvencionalnog pristupa nego i radikalno različit pristup obračunu troškova, metodologija koja obezbjeđuje informacije za stalni napredak organizacije, to je strategijski sistem obračuna troškova posvećen punim troškovima po procesima, proizvodima i kupcima. U radu se razmatra početak, suština i mogućnost primjene obračuna troškova po aktivnostima u javnom sektoru, gdje se potrebe za relevantnim informacijama o troškovimaa kontinuirano povećavaju. Podaci za aplikaciju preuzeti su iz dokumentacije organizacije, finansijskih evidencija, procjene vremena za pojedine aktivnosti, neposrednog posmatranja i neformalnog intervjua sa zaposlenima. Rezultati pokazuju da se ABC može primijeniti u javnom sektoru i dobiti precizne informacije pretvaranjem računovodstvenih podataka u troškovne aktivnosti, koje se odnose na kvalitet proizvoda, usluga i dobrobit građana. Krajnji cilj aplikativnog pristupa nije samo da se izračuna ''prava'' cijena usluga nego prikaz korisnosti ABC kada rastu opšti troškovi u ukupnim troškovima i kada raste asortiman usluga, kao što je slučaj u javnoj upravi i neprofitnim organizacijama. Pored prednosti ABC ima i ograničenja, uključujući složenost u primjeni koja je značajno veća u javnom nego u privatnom sektoru.
