From Persecution to Management of Populations: Governmentality and the Common European Asylum System
Authors: Guild Elspeth
Published: December 2018

Refugee protection has long been an issue of great moral and legal importance among the countries in Eu- rope. European states sent representatives to participate in the drafting of the UN Convention relating to the status of refugees 1951 together with its 1967 protocol – the international commitment to refugee protection and were among the first signatories. They have also been strong supporters of the UN Agency established as guardians of the Geneva Convention – the United Nations High Commission for Refugees (UNHCR) and participate as members of the UNHCR’s Executive Committee. However, these same states, when adopting legislation on refugee protection in European Union law appear Janus faced. On the one hand, statements of commitment to refugee protection are plentiful, on the other, mechanisms adopted aim to exclude the refugee even from being heard. In this article I will examine this contradiction using the concept of governmentality as developed by Michel Foucault. Deploying the three techniques of governmentality which Foucault developed most – sovereignty, discipline and biopolitics, I seek to dissect the asylum protection system the EU is developing and make visible the underlying structure of authority and power.
Dismantling the Online Sphere – Information-filters as Organizers of Public Vision
Authors: Madsen Anders Koed
Published: December 2018

Strands of research within Internet studies and the social sciences have over the last decade analyzed and discussed the characteristics of the Internet as a public sphere. These studies have differed in their final evaluations but many of them have shared the approach of talking about an ‘online public sphere’ that can be compared to its offine counterpart. This paper challenges this divide by pointing out differences in the way Wikipedia.com and Google.co.uk each demarcated the controversy about synthetic biology from January to June 2011. It is argued that differences in the philosophy of information-filtering and the network of actors that influence the final demarcations is the central divide to look at when posing questions about the mediation of controversies and the paper introduces the concept of ‘web-visions’ as an alternative to taking about an ‘online public sphere’. Web-visions are operationalized as the hyperlink-networks a given information-filter gives its user access to and it is emphazised how these visions are shaped by human as well as non-human actors. The analysis shows how Google.co.uk provides more fluid visions than Wikipedia as well as how this fluidity is correlated with the publication of a report from the Presidential Commission for the Study of Bioethical Issues. The analysis furthermore provides the basis for discussing the relevance of looking at ‘web- visions’ when trying to understand controversies and their mediation.
Et (u)forudseeligt Mellemøsten: Samfundsvidenskaben, point predictions og pattern predictions
Authors: Møller Jørgen
Published: December 2018

The so-called ‘Arab Spring’ or ‘Arab uprisings’ in 2011 took observers by surprise, thereby reinvigorating the criticism that political scientists are poor at prediction. In this article, it is argued that social science is incapable of predicting such events systematically. e argumentation is based on economist Friedrich Hayek’s distinction between sciences that deals with simple and complex phenomena. e latter category, where the social sciences should be situated, are unable to make ‘point predictions’. What social science can do is to make that which Hayek terms ‘pattern predictions’. Based on established theories within the study of regime change, such pattern predictions are o ered with respect to the longer-term consequences of the Arab uprisings.
Genpolitisering og postdemokratisering: Studiet af mellemøstlig politik i lyset af de arabiske revolter
Authors: Valbjørn Morten
Published: December 2018

A prominent theme in the current debate on the implications of the Arab Revolts revolves around the questions about whether we are witnessing the emergence of a truly new Middle East in a ‘transition to de- mocracy’, or whether the region is still stuck in a ‘transition to nowhere’ similar to past decades. Based on a critique of both of these views, the article suggests that the Arab world should instead be perceived as being in a ‘transition to somewhere’ marked by a multi-level repoliticization. Against this background, we explore how this ‘return of politics’ in Arab societies is re ected above, below and beyond the level of the regime and how this can be grasped by an ‘upgraded’ version of the postdemocratization approach to Arab politics.
Wikileaks and consequences for modern diplomacy – observations by a foreign policy practitioner
Authors: Møller Jørgen Ørstrøm
Published: December 2018

Wikileaks did not reveal much we did not know about U.S. foreign policy already. e true revelations were – as many had suspected – that some foreign leaders pursue a di erent foreign policy agenda than the of- cial one. Sources providing information to foreign diplomats will be more prudent from now on. e main impact is a new type of diplomacy bypassing leaders to communicate directly with the people – increasing people’s power and highlighting the growing importance of civic society and the social media. e ability to intensively monitor social media also brings a markedly better understanding of the domestic context of foreign countries. Events surrounding the Arab spring bears testament to this.
Ombudsmandens personlige prægning af ombudsmandskontrollen
Authors: Gøtze Michael
Published: December 2018

The term ombudsman is a double reference and the ombudsman is thus a person as well as an institution. is applies for the Danish Parliamentary Ombudsman. In most legal theory on the ombudsman the institutional perspective is prevalent and the ombudsman is to a wide extent perceived through the same legal lenses as e.g. the courts as protectors of citizens’ rights. is approach is challenged in this article that focuses on the ombudsman as a person and as a personi ed control body. e following analysis comprises discussions of the personal element of the ombudsman vis-à-vis the selection of suitable cases and vis-à-vis the general interpretative strategies towards signi cant parts of the ombudsman review activities. Moreover, the article sheds light on the recent revision of the Danish ombudsman act limiting the employment period of a given ombudsman to ten years. e ombudsman is still appointed by the Parliament, however, and the ombudsman will continuously operate in a complex political-legal landscape.
Mediernes formidling af meningsmålinger: Indholdsanalyse af folketingsvalg, 2005-2011
Authors: Larsen Erik Gahner , Straubinger Simon Grundt
Published: December 2018

This article examines the information the Danish news media provide when reporting public opinion polls. e study has been done through quantitative content analysis of 424 newspaper and Internet articles from four major Danish dailies during the last three parliamentary elections. e study found that only about half of the seven ESOMAR/WAPOR-requirements included here were reported. e results from the estimated regression show that the media in general provides more methodological information in newspaper articles than on the Internet, and that the media becomes better at reporting public opinion polls over time. Com- pared with studies conducted in other countries we nd no systematic deviation in how public opinion polls are reported in Denmark.
Finanspagten og issue-linkage inden for eurosystemet
Authors: Beach Derek
Published: December 2018

This article claims that the reform negotiations of the euro can only be understood as a form of issue-linkage, where two groups of states (euro-winners and euro-losers) want either stricter rules for state scal behavior (euro-winners) or increased assistance mechanisms in the form of temporary aid packages or permanent transfers for countries hit by asymmetric economic shocks (euro-losers). e two issues were linked in the negotiations in 2011 and 2012, where a quid pro quo was reached, where Germany got ‘its’ Fiscal Compact that strengthened the rules for behavior in exchange for concessions on the transfer issue both in relation to accepting ECB interventions in the market to aid euro-losers facing high interest rates, and the entry into force of the permanent aid mechanism (ESM) a year ahead of schedule. Euro-losers were however only able to link the two issues when they were able to exploit their economic weakness and the risk that market pressure could result in the collapse of the euro. As this pressure has eased in the fall of 2012, the pace of reforms has slowed down, with few indications that further progress will be made on strengthening the transfer side of Economic and Monetary Union any time soon.
Velkommen til Merkolland – legitimeringsstrategier i den offentlige debat om eurokrisen
Authors: Just Sine Nørholm
Published: December 2018

The question of how to deal with the EU’s economic crisis is often reduced to two opposed positions: auster- ity measures vs. public investments, neatly represented by German Chancellor Angela Merkel and French President Francois Hollande, respectively. Merkel and Hollande also represent two di erent visions of EU- legitimacy in the broader sense: political integration vs. economic integration. at both the speci c and the general di erences between the two can be reconciled, is exempli ed by the European Council’s decisions to supplement the scal compact with a growth compact and to begin a process of political and economic reform. However, the proposed entwinement of political and economic legitimacy ignores the dimension of social legitimacy or solidarity among strangers, as Jürgen Habermas would put it. is paper explores how issues of identity and solidarity gure in the public debate about the Euro crisis. e main argument is that the politico-economic constitution of the EU as ‘Merkolland’ has, so far, rendered it a rather soulless place.
Is There an Alternative to the Fiscal Compact for Conducting Fiscal Policy in the Euro Area?
Authors: Hallet Andrew Hughes , Hougaard Jensen Svend E.
Published: December 2018

This paper o ers a critical assessment of the scal set-up in the Euro Area and considers a new framework for achieving scal discipline. e key idea is an inter-temporal assignment where national scal policies focus on long-term objectives and a common monetary policy on short-term objectives. e result is a self-stabilising set-up where the enforcement problem has largely been resolved. For practical implementation purposes, scal policy is stated in terms of a target for the public debt-to-GDP ratio. We argue that the debt target should be set in a forward-looking fashion to account for implicit liabilities, such as the discounted budgetary impact of changing demographics in addition to conventional debt measures.

Financial Derivatives: Fiscal Weapons of Mass Destruction
Authors: Wigan Duncan
Published: December 2018

Contemporary derivatives mark the development of capital and constitute a novel form of ownership. In abstracting from the object of ownership, the underlying asset, derivatives sever direct material ties be- tween the owner and property and, in doing, transform the capacities of ownership. is transformation is spatial, temporal and legal. is is signi cant for relations between borrowers and lenders, between the various participants in nancial markets, and, indeed, for the overarching institutional fabric of the politi- cal economy. However, one relatively neglected aspect of the transformations manifest through derivatives is the relationship between the scal state and nancial innovation. By recon guring the temporal, spatial and legal character of ownership derivatives present a substantive challenge to the tax collecting state. While scal systems are nationally bounded and inherently static, capital itself is unprecedentedly mobile, uid and fungible. In these terms, nancial derivatives not only challenge default conceptions of the o shore world in International Political Economy, which have predominantly focused on nationally variegated tax systems, but via abstraction recon gure the materiality of contemporary capitalism.
Elsewhere, Ideally Nowhere: Shadow Banking and Offshore Finance
Authors: Palan Ronen , Nesvetailova Anastasia
Published: December 2018

If we were to identify one common thread across the nancial system’s stages of evolution, it is the quest for being located for tax and regulatory purposes elsewhere or, ideally, nowhere. Recognising the limits of mainstream economic models in providing a comprehensive explanation of this phenomenon, we draw on the ideas of orstein Veblen and his theory of business civilisation. A Veblenian analysis suggests that dynamics and behaviour in nance that are commonly associated with human failure (greed, exuberance, fraud, incompetence), and which appear to have become widespread practice, should best be understood as sabotage. Finance is awash with techniques designed to sabotage both clients and the governments who enacted regulations that were supposed to protect clients. ese techniques are legal mechanisms, albeit as Veblen writes, not in the spirit of the law.
Explaining the Stunted Rise of Macroprudential Regulatory Philosophies
Authors: Baker Andrew
Published: December 2018

In the aftermath of the nancial crash of 2008, policy makers operating in international nancial regula- tory networks discovered macroprudential regulation (MPR) and ‘systemic risk’. Macroprudential ideas rose to prominence quite rapidly in the aftermath of the nancial crash of 2008, but the process of translating these ideas into concrete regulatory practice has proceeded slowly and incrementally. e article sets out to explain why this has been the case citing ve factors that have been responsible for stunting the development of macroprudential regulation.

Teorier om fred og harmoni: viden, magt og kontroversen om Kinas opstigning
Authors: Kristensen Peter Marcus , Nielsen Ras Tind
Published: December 2018

This article maps the emergence and development of Chinese discourses about China’s rise in international politics. It examines how the production of knowledge, particularly theories on international relations and grand strategy, develop in their travels between the scienti c and political as well as the international and national. Taking its point of departure in the sociology of science, the article sets out to understand the interplay between social, political, and intellectual conditions for knowledge production in today’s Interna- tional Relations (IR) research in China. Contrary to the conventional notion that Chinese social science is determined by political preferences, the paper argues 1) that the ideal of (pure) science and (dirty) politics as two separate spheres is di cult to sustain in the empirical analysis of knowledge production (in China and elsewhere) and 2) that more often than not important policy ideas and theories, such ‘Peaceful Rise’, the ‘Chinese School’ or ‘Harmonious World’ have emerged from a productive relationship between science and politics. e analysis of Chinese IR discourse shows that Chinese scholars and experts might play a more in uential role in the formulation of foreign policy concepts than usually assumed.
Indlejret Visdom – En Netværksanalyse af De Økonomiske Vismænd
Authors: Henriksen Lasse Folke , Stahl Rune Møller
Published: December 2018

Approaches to the connection between economic science and politics that is based on institutional theory or Actor-network theory, stress the importance of economic ideas and scienti c models and instruments on the substantive content of policy processes. In contrast this article argues for the importance of analyzing the way economic scienti c experts are embedded in broader social structures and institutions, through the application of network-analytical methods. e article presents an analysis of the Economic Council, where a range of quantitative tools is employed to describe the positions and divergent roles of the members in the broader economic policy networks in Denmark.
Understanding Experimental Economics
Authors: Nielsen Carsten S. , Sebald Alexander C. , Webb Edward J.D.
Published: December 2018

Experiments have become a well-established methodological tool in economics. e development of experi- mental economics and the diversi cation of experimental methods have equipped economists with new and powerful means of scienti c investigation. eir worth is readily demonstrated in the exciting and promising results they have produced, and will continue to produce. Against the background of this success story, our selective discussion critically highlights four important aspects of experimentation in economics. We concen- trate on the role and importance of material incentives, potentially confounding experimenter demand e ects and strategies to minimise these, the no deception rule as well as the issue of external validity.
Eksperimenter og politologisk forskning: Muligheder og begrænsninger
Authors: Nielsen Julie Hassing
Published: December 2018

The past years have witnessed a boom in the use of experiments within political science. Until then, politi- cal science has only reluctantly accepted experiments in its methodological toolbox, while the neighboring disciplines – economics and psychology – have used them extensively for a long time. is article does two things. First, it summarises the basic possibilities and pitfalls associated with the most used experimental designs (laboratory, survey, and eld experiments), while emphasising that the choice between experimental designs is often a tradeo between ability to control for intervening factors and experimental realism. Sec- ond, It emphasises that particularly the growing eld of political psychology has bene tted from the use of experiments. is is mainly due to the endogenous nature of problems related to political psychology, which experiments are excellent to address.
Den personlige faktor: Højre- og venstreorienterede vælgere foretrækker forskellige kandidatpersonligheder
Authors: Laustsen Lasse
Published: December 2018

Candidates and party leaders are often believed to play a minor role in the party-centered Danish elections. In this article, I argue that this nding could be due to methodological as well as theoretical inadequacies. Methodologically, candidate personality needs to be disentangled from the candidates’ political positions and party a liation. eoretically, the literature on candidate personality needs to investigate the role played by ideology. Drawing on recent insights on the fundamental di erences between individuals on the ideological left and right, I argue that rightwing voters will prefer a dominant candidate personality, while their leftwing counterparts will prefer an agreeable candidate personality. e prediction is supported in an experimental study conducted on Danish student subjects. e ndings demonstrate that rightwing voters evaluate a domi- nant candidate personality more positively than leftwing voters. On the contrary, leftwing voters evaluate an agreeable candidate personality more positively than rightwing voters. e nding suggests that di erent voters prefer di erent types of candidates and that no universal winning candidate personality exists.
Moderniseringsprogrammet, 1983: resultatstyring version 1.0.
Authors: Gjørling Mathias , Grøn Caroline Howard
Published: December 2018

The article explores the role of management by objectives in the modernization programme of 1983, which started the development of New Public Management in Denmark. e article is based on an interview with the civil servant who back in 1983 served as secretary for the committee who developed the programme, as well as previous versions of the programme made available to the authors. e article concludes that man- agement by objectives entered the programme almost incidentally and that the programme is much more focused on setting the public sector free with regards to inputs than controlling it with regard to outputs.
Demokrati og politisk deltagelse
Authors: Svensson Palle
Published: December 2018

Democracy and political participation are closely related, but both the understanding of them and their relationship is disputed. Two conceptions of democracy – in this article labeled ‘democratic revisionism’ and ‘participatory democracy’ – compete for attention. In the article it is shown how the rst conception of de- mocracy as elite competition developed after World War II. It is further explained how participatory democ- racy developed as a critique of the rst conception. It is also shown how the desirability and the functions of political participation are perceived di erently according to the two conceptions of democracy. Various forms of political participation are discussed, and it is shown how the concept of participation in political science and sociology has been developed to include an increasing number of activities. On this basis, the extent and social distribution of various forms of political participation in Denmark is examined. Finally, it is discussed whether the idea of participatory democracy forms the basis of Danish democracy today. It is concluded that the leaders of the main political parties are reluctant to give up power and that the self-perception of Danish democracy is mainly based on the idea of representative democracy that focuses on elite competition.
Den digitale dobbeltgænger
Authors: Lauritsen Peter
Published: December 2018

Today, many practices related to security, safety, welfare and even entertainment are based on gathering and using personal data. is article argues that this kind of surveillance, often labeled dataveillance, entails the production of ‘data doubles’, which act as proxies for the individual. Using the concepts of surveillant assem- blages and oligoptica the article interprets data doubles as 1) produced by networks, 2) fragile, and 3) limited in scope. is line of thought implicates empirical interest in the production and purpose of speci c and het- erogeneous data doubles rather than assuming an a priori critical attitude to the nature and function of these.
Online privatliv – udfordringer og mulige løsninger
Authors: Jørgensen Rikke Frank
Published: December 2018

This article discusses current challenges to privacy in the digital domain. It argues that in order to counter these challenges several interrelated responses are needed. First, the regulatory regime for data protection must be revised and strengthened. Second, privacy and data protection must be closely integrated into technical solutions and organizational procedures. ird, the concept of privacy must be revisited to more adequately re ect the dynamics of online life. is requires a more nuanced understanding of online practices and the internet’s characteristics as radical heterogeneous, socially complex and context-collapsing. Moreover, e ective protection of privacy rights requires that we explicitly formulate and enforce public policy norms for the internet’s core services, irrespective of whether these services are carried out by public or private actors.
Respekt og kompromis – en forelæsning
Authors: Rostbøll Christian F.
Published: December 2018

This lecture addresses the democratic signi cance of compromise. Are compromises merely an unfortunate necessity in politics because citizens and legislators cannot achieve consensus? Does a majority have demo- cratic reasons for making concessions to a minority if it can make decisions on its own? In short, is com- promise a democratic value in and of itself? e lecture concludes that there are non-pragmatic democratic reasons for making compromises, which are based on respect towards fellow citizens and legislators. Compro- mises may make decisions more democratic, but only under certain conditions. We are not obliged to make compromises with anyone. Some compromises may undermine the very ideal of compromise. Moreover, by making compromises with someone, we grant them legitimacy, and there are limits as to which political opponents we should grant legitimacy.
Tilkoblings- og afkoblingsstrategier i dansk udenrigspolitik: Udvikling og tendenser i de danske udenrigspolitiske doktriner
Authors: Pedersen Rasmus Brun
Published: December 2018

This paper investigates the developments and changes in the Danish foreign policy doctrines from 1914-2014 in order to study the relative importance of two underlying ideologies that have guided the Danish strategic culture. It is argued that determinism and internationalism has traditionally constituted the Danish small state identity, which have led to an understanding of a dualistic strategic culture. e argument is that this dualism after the end of the Cold War has been replaced with a one stringed internationalism after the end of the cold war where the introduction of international activism and active internationalism can be seen as a broad ‘opting in’ strategy to the international system.
Tænketankes brug af dagbladene som et marked for politiske idéer i Danmark
Authors: Kelstrup Jesper Dahl
Published: December 2018

How has the visibility of think tanks in Danish newspapers developed in the recent decade, and how might this development be accounted for? The article shows that the ten most mentioned think tanks have become more visible in Danish newspapers in the period 2006-2015 compared to the most mentioned interest organisations. It is argued that think tanks are using the media as a means of supplying independent ideas which are in demand among decision-makers and other target audiences. In addition, the article suggests that think tanks with idea political stances are more visible in Danish newspapers than think tanks which focus on certain issues or policies.

Lige for lige? Kønssegregering i Folketingudvalg 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.
Tendenser i stat-kommuneforholdet efter kommunalreformen – fokus på økonomiaftaler og sanktionssystemet
Authors: Pedersen Niels Jørgen Mau
Published: December 2018

This article aims at presenting trends in the state-local budget-cooperation system in Denmark, following the local government reform in 2007 and the fiscal rules in the budget law from 2012. The article investigates some of the characteristics of the development from 1980 until 2016. Evidence gives support to the hypothesis that the possibility for the municipalities’ organization to negotiate increasing expenditures has been narrowed, however accompanied by more liberal grant financing. The local government reform seems to have opened a window of opportunity for an elaborated system of collective and especially individual central government sanctions to strengthen the macroeconomic management of service expenditures of local governments. The identified trends in the Danish state-local relations may indicate that the decentralized model of local governments in Denmark is increasingly under pressure. However, the Danish municipal sector is still growing with respect to economic significance.
Sammenslutningens kunst: Om føderalisme hos Johannes Althusius og Hannah Arendt
Authors: Popp-Madsen Benjamin Ask
Published: December 2018

This article discusses the theories of federalism as formulated by the early modernthinker Johannes Althusius and by 20th century political thinker Hannah Arendt. Thearticle ventures into a discussion on the specific democratic attributes of Althusius’ andArendt’s federal visions, focusing on the federal nature of Althusius’ concept of associationand Arendt’s concept of the promise. Moreover, the article argues for understandingAlthusius’ and Arendt’s federalisms as expressions of the constituent power, asa way in which the collectivity can organize itself institutionally without relinquishingtheir original power to constitute new institutional forms. Finally, the article seeks toplace federalism in a historical and conceptual discussion with state sovereignty, herebydenaturalizing the idea of the state as modernity’s only political form, by showing thekey differences between state sovereignty and the central tenets of Althusius’ and Arendt’snotions of federalism. The article concludes by enumerating two political principlesof the federation, namely association and self-rule.
Slagmarkens moral og risikofri krig med droner
Authors: Henriksen Anders , Ringsmose Jens
Published: December 2018

The article examines the instinctive uneasiness many feel about the use of armed drones. Why is it, we ask, that so many people – including members of the armed forces – acknowledge that armed drones offer an expedient and legally defensible solution to pressing security challenges and yet feel uncomfortable about them? The main argument of the article is that much of the criticism of drone warfare is associated with an underlying ethically conditioned discomfort with so-called ‘riskless warfare.’ The very feature that makes drones so attractive to policy-makers and military commanders – their risk free deployment – is, paradoxically, also one of the primary causes why many feel fundamentally uncomfortable with them. To make this argument, we build on the works of Martin van Creveld and Paul W. Kahn.
De danske husholdninger og stagnationspolitik
Authors: Madsen Mogens  Ove , Randrup Byrialsen Mikael
Published: December 2018

The Danish Economy, measured in terms of real GDP, has not yet recovered to the same level as 2007. The economy initially contracted and has since stagnated with little to no growth in real GDP. This article presents an alternative explanation for this stag-nation, which relies on an analysis inspired by the keynesian economist Josef Steindl. The contribution from Steindl has largely been ignored in the debate, despite its obvious potential. With the use of the theoretical foundation offered by Steindl, the stagnation of the Danish economy can be explained by a combination of the behavior of the house-hold, the investment behavior of firms and the public preoccupation with the fiscal budget. The political consequence of this focus on balancing the budget is also dis-cussed in detail towards the end of this article.
‘Soft Securitization’: Unconventional Security Issues and the Arctic Council
Authors: Greaves Wilfrid , Pomerants Daniel
Published: December 2018

This article assesses the Arctic Council’s role as a security actor in the context of a rapidly changing circumpolar region. It investigates how the Arctic Council uses security language, and which issues it depicts as relevant to Arctic security. The article does this by undertaking textual analysis of ‘securitizing moves’ represented in the Council’s publicly available online documents, including declarations and agreements, policy papers, working group reports, public statements, and other related sources. The findings offer empirical insights into the Arctic Council and the construction of Arctic security issues, as well as theoretical reflections on the analytical usefulness of securitization theory, and the dynamics of constructing unconventional security issues in a multilateral intergovernmental forum.
Arctic Indigenous Societal Security at COP21: The Divergence of Security Discourse and Instruments in Climate Negotiations
Authors: Herrmann Victoria
Published: December 2018

In UN climate change conferences, there exists a disconnect between the space for and use of Arctic cultural heritage as a catalyst for action and parallel international legal and financial support for climate adaptation and mitigation in the North. This article aims to unpack this divergence of creating a space for societal security discourse and producing tangible climate commitments to Arctic Indigenous peoples in UN climate negotiations. The article surveys and explores visual and textual narratives pertaining to Arctic heritage at COP21 focusing on regional Indigenous political organizations and representatives. It contends both that societal security is to maintain Arctic indigenous culture in its traditional state from changes in the climate and that societal security is to protect indigenous culture from harm or destruction while allowing it to live, change and develop in its own accord to assist with climate mitigation and adaptation actions. The article then turns to the resulting Paris Agreement and Paris Road Map to survey specific legal, financial, and policy support mechanisms for Arctic Indigenous peoples. The article argues that the space for and use of Arctic Indigenous societal security discourses at COP21 are uneven with the resulting global policy initiatives, and do not adequately support the security of current cultural practices and heritage in the Arctic.
What kind of nation state will Greenland be? Securitization theory as a strategy for analyzing identity politics
Authors: Gad Ulrik Pram
Published: December 2018

Arctic geopolitics is a moving target - and Greenland, determined to emerge as a sovereign nation state, is a particularly dynamic quantity. The choices currently made in language policy about how to prioritize the Greenlandic, Danish, and English languages will be putting Greenland on very different routes towards and beyond independence. The article modifies the analytical strategy prescribed by Copenhagen School Securitization Theory to produce a nuanced picture of national identity politics, the tensions involved, and scenarios for the future. Analysis of the 2002 and 2016 debates on language supplements the received image of what constitutes Greenlandic identity, centered on language and iconic material cultural practices, with conspicuously modern elements like democracy and welfare. Advancing formally from 'home rule' to 'self-government' has shifted the debate towards material challenges - prompting a more prominent role for the English language, in turn pointing Greenland towards new alliances in Arctic geopolitics.
Er islamismen populistisk, eller er populismen i Mellemøsten blevet islamistisk?
Authors: Simonson Jørgen Bæk
Published: December 2018

The article discusses and compares different types of populism that have characterized certain political developments in the Middle East since the beginning of the 20th Century. It is concluded that non-militant Islamism has played a crucial part in this development and secured widespread public support.  This has been the case in Iran where the circle around Khomeini specifically articulated the struggle against the Shah in relation to Shiitic Islamism.
Perceptions of ‘Populism’ and ‘Anti-populism’ in Greek Public Discourse during the Crisis: The case of the website ‘Anti-news’
Authors: Karavasilis Lazaros
Published: December 2018

The aim of this paper is to present how “populism” is perceived in the website “Anti-news” as a representative example of the Greek public discourse in the period between 2010-2016, when the economic crisis heavily affected Greece at a political and social level. The paper will also attempt to explain how populism is portrayed through this right-wing oriented media and how their audience perceives populism. Moreover, the paper offers an account of how “anti-populism” is formulated within this medium and how it contributes to existing notions of anti-populism.

Arkitektur og politik: Atmosfæriske refleksioner ud fra Böhme og Sloterdijk
Authors: Jørgensen Lydia , Borch Christian
Published: December 2018

The notion of atmosphere occupies an increasingly central role in present-day discussions of design, affect, architecture and sensory environments. It is mobilized in particular to emphasize and shed light on a pre-subjective, embodied apprehension of spatially discharged moods. This article especially focuses on how the notion of atmosphere offers new ways of understanding the relations between architecture and politics. Specifically, we explore such relations via the philosophical reflections on atmosphere as found in Gernot Böhme’s and Peter Sloterdijk’s work. We suggest that, in spite of significant difference between Böhme and Sloterdijk, they each offers important insights into how architecture and politics are entangled. After a brief outline of each of their general atmospheric projects, we demonstrate the different critical potential their analyses of architecture and the politics of space entail.
Commitment to non-commitment: The role of a foundation in configuring a cross-sector collaborative space
Authors: Schmidt Jonathan
Published: December 2018

Cross-sector collaborative spaces have been suggested to provide a way of organising collaboration between the public, private, and third sector to address so-called grand challenges. However, due to the complexity and uncertainty of grand challenges, establishing collaborative spaces is associated with considerable risks. Innovation policy scholars disagree whether public or third sector organisations are better suited to take these risks. Based on the case of Copenhagen-based BLOXHUB, this paper investigates the role of a third sector organisation in interweaving actors across sectors to configure a collaborative space in the field of sustainable urban development.

Afin de suivre l’évolution de l’occupation du sol du bassin versant de la rivière Cau (nord du Vietnam), des images HRVIR 2 du satellite SPOT-4 ont été acquises fin novembre 2007 et début janvier 2008. Dans un premier temps, l’approche de classification hiérarchique avec le mode de classification « avec caractéristiques liées aux classes (class-related features) » a été développée et appliquée afin d’extraire sept classes d’occupation du sol pertinentes à la modélisation hydrologique, sans distinguer les rizières des autres types de culture. Cette approche a montré son efficacité, la précision globale de la classification étant de 91 %. Une diminution significative de la confusion entre les milieux urbains, les terres agricoles et les plantations a été remarquée par rapport à une classification antérieure d’une image LANDSAT-7 de 2003, dont la précision globale était de 78 %. Par la suite, afin de distinguer les rizières des autres types de culture, deux séries d’images du satellite RADARSAT-2 en bande-C (double polarisation et polarimétriques) ont été utilisées. Ces images ont été acquises de mai 2009 à mai 2010 et couvrent deux périodes de croissance du riz, soit la période de la principale récolte (saison traditionnelle du riz) et celle du printemps. Pour les images double polarisation, en mode standard (S5), une méthode de seuillage a été appliquée sur la variation temporelle du signal entre les images acquises en début de saison et celles à la mi-saison. Cette méthode a permis de détecter 74 % des rizières de la saison traditionnelle du riz et 63 % des rizières de la saison de riz du printemps, selon une comparaison avec des données statistiques de la province de Thai Nguyen. La précision globale de la classification obtenue, pour toutes les classes d’occupation du sol, est de 71 % pour la saison traditionnelle de riz et de 67 % pour la saison de riz du printemps. Pour les images polarimétriques, en mode fin (FQ21), la matrice de cohérence a été choisie pour identifier les rizières d’une zone hétérogène. La classification a été réalisée à l’aide de l’algorithme SVM (Support Vector Machine). Ces dernières informations ont ensuite été intégrées à la carte thématique dérivée d’images SPOT-4 pour obtenir la carte finale. Cette carte sert directement à la modélisation hydrologique. Les calculs des besoins en eau pour la culture du riz ont montré que les rizières prennent une grande proportion du débit total dans les deux sous-bassins versants utilisés en exemple. Ces calculs montrent l’importance de détecter les rizières si l’on souhaite réaliser des simulations hydrologiques réalistes sur le bassin versant de la rivière Cau et confirment une des hypothèses de nos travaux, qui est que l’identification des rizières sur la carte d’occupation du sol améliore les évaluations et prédictions liées au cycle hydrologique.

L’objectif principal de ce travail est d’évaluer l’influence de différentes sources de pollution sur la qualité de l’eau du bassin versant de la rivière Cau au Vietnam. L’outil utilisé pour cette évaluation est GIBSI (Gestion Intégrée par Bassin versant à l’aide d’un Système Informatisé). Pour cette évaluation, les sous-modèles PO, pour simuler le transport de l’azote et du phosphore, et Qual GIBSI, pour simuler la qualité de l’eau en rivière, seront utilisés. Pour pouvoir appliquer ces modèles, une méthode originale de calage régionalisé, tenant compte des caractéristiques de différentes zones du territoire, est développée. Cette approche permet de tenir compte des caractéristiques des différentes zones du bassin versant pour reproduire au mieux les données observées. Ensuite, à partir de scénarios, l’effet des différentes sources de pollution est comparé. En particulier, l’impact sur la qualité de l’eau du bassin versant de la rivière Cau de la pollution diffuse d’origine agricole et d’origine domestique rurale est évalué. Les résultats démontrent que la pollution diffuse a un impact plus important sur la dégradation de la qualité de l’eau de ce bassin versant que les autres sources de pollution.
KULTURA I TRANZICIJA: POSTOJI LI ISTOČNOEVROPSKI KULTURNI KLASTER?
Authors: Mojić Dušan
Published: December 2018

Institucionalni pristup se često primenjuje poslednjih decenija u objašnjenju procesa tranzicije bivših komandnih („socijalističkih“) privreda i društava Istočne Evrope u tržišne („kapitalističke“) privrede i društva. Naime, institucije su shvaćene kao osnovni okvir za ljudsku interakciju u društvu ili, drugim rečima, kao „pravila igre“. Ova pravila mogu biti formalna (ustavi, zakoni, statuti) i neformalna (uverenja, vrednosti, norme). Formalna pravila se na duži rok menjaju u zavisnosti od pomenutih duboko ukorenjenih neformalnih okvira. Tranzicija u Istočnoj Evropi prvenstveno podrazumeva proces institucionalne političke i ekonomske promene. Međutim, transformacija političkih i ekonomskih institucija uvek je utemeljena na neformalnim pravilima ili društvenim i kulturnim institucijama. Glavni cilj rada je rasprava o postojanju i mogućim karakteristikama Istočnoevropskog kulturnog klastera kao opšteg neformalnog okvira procesa tranzicije.

U prvom dijelu rada se ukazuje na potrebu, značaj i pristup (pr)ocjeni vjerovatnoće poslovno-finansijskih kriza i bankrotstva preduzeća kao prijetnje stalnosti poslovanja, zasnovan na podacima iz finansijskih izvještaja, te daje pregled relevantne literature. Drugi dio rada elaborira odgovarajuće metodologije i modela testiranja vjerovatnoće bankrotstva, razmatra mogućnost prilagođavanja određenih modela razvijenih za ovu svrhu za primjenu u Bosni i Hercegovini, te pristup i razvoj sopstvenih modela koji bi mogli obezbijediti zadovoljavajući stepen pouzdanosti predviđanja bankrotstva i ugrožavanja pretpostavke o stalnosti poslovanja preduzeća u Bosni i Hercegovini. Rezultati testiranja odabranih modela su prezentovani u trećem dijelu rada. Četvrti dio rada sadrži analizu i razmatranje mogućih područja primjene testiranih modela u funkciji donošenja odgovarajućih poslovnih odluka zasnovanih na scenario analizi, te ukazuje na aktuelne pravce u razvoju prakse modeliranja, vještačke inteligencije i “dubokog učenja”. Peti dio rada sadrži zaključna razmatranja.

Diante da importância do trabalho na vida dos indivíduos, a relação que se estabelece entre o profissional e o ambiente laboral podem implicar repercussões em sua maneira de viver e ser saudável. Não obstante, a qualidade de vida do trabalhador pode estar associada à satisfação profissional, e dentro do contexto da enfermagem, favorecer a uma assistência de qualidade. Portanto, o presente ensaio teve por objetivo identificar publicações sobre satisfação no trabalho e qualidade de vida do profissional de enfermagem; verificar evidências de relação direta entre a satisfação profissional e a qualidade de vida. Esta revisão integrativa compilou artigos através da Base de Dados em Enfermagem (BDENF), Public Medline (PubMed) e o Portal de Periódicos da Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior (CAPES). A partir do material analisado, emergiram três categorias temáticas: 1) Fatores que influenciam a satisfação profissional; 2) Importância da satisfação no trabalho e qualidade de vida do profissional para a assistência de enfermagem; 3) Relação do trabalho com a qualidade de vida do trabalhador de enfermagem. Após a análise, não se verificou relação direta entre satisfação no trabalho e qualidade de vida, entretanto, evidenciou-se que insatisfações laborais desencadeiam, potencialmente, problemas físicos e psíquicos, com impacto à qualidade de vida e do serviço prestado.
