title: The School Election Project 2019, Questionnaire Survey Among Pupils

description: Since 1989, school elections have been held at the upper secondary schools in connection with parliamentary, municipal and county council elections. The school election is an important part of the election campaign of the party political youth organizations. The purpose is nevertheless first and foremost to be a pedagogical tool in the work of increasing political competence and interest among young people. The present data file is from a survey conducted at the same time as the school election in 2019. At the schools that participate in the school election survey, students first vote in the school election and then answer the survey.

16,834 students from 80 schools answered the questions in the 2019 school election project.

This file is an extract from the complete data file. Based on the variables "region" and "simplified education program", we have created this file which is more representative of the population "students in upper secondary education in the autumn of 2019". In the school election 2019, the pupils have voted for the county council after the regional reform which enters into force on 1 January 2020, thus we have chosen to publish data for the new regions. Due to low support in a couple of regions, we have merged these with neighboring regions. This applies to the region Innlandet, which here was merged with Viken, and Agder, which was merged with Rogaland.

title: Citizen Survey 2021, researcher file

description: The Citizen Survey is a measure of how the citizens of Norway assess public services, their trust in politicians and their assessment and trust in the public administration and the government. Additionally, the survey measures how satisfied the residents are with their lives and how they experience living in Norway and in their municipality. This survey is conducted by The Norwegian Agency for Public and Financial Management (DFØ) every two years and was conducted for the first time in 2010. In 2021 it was conducted for the sixth time.

The purpose of the survey is to contribute to the development of the knowledge base related to the status and need for improvement within government management, organization, management and competence. The results can be used by ministries, directorates, municipalities and businesses, but also function as a contribution to research, and as a basis for development of the state management as a whole. By highlighting points for improvement, the results can also be an important basis for formulating new policies. In addition, the Citizen Survey functions as a temperature measurement of the citizens' perception of the public sector and of political leadership, and helps ensure a prioritization of those whom the public sector exists for: the citizens themselves.

title: The 2017 Norwegian Sámi Parliamentary Election Study

description: The 2017 Norwegian Sámi Parliamentary Election Study 2017 follows previous surveys from 2009 and 2013. The basic goal is to analyse the conditions for, functions of and challenges associated with a Sami democratic system in Norway. The data material is a voter survey, where the sample is drawn among data subjects in The Sami Parliament's electoral roll. The questions concern various aspects of the Sami parliament election, including political issues, the legitimacy of the Sami Parliament, voter turnout and voting, election campaigns and voters' sources of information.

In addition to the variables from the questionnaire, the data file contains the following variables: "samekrets" (Sámi district), "vekt" (weight), "kommune" (only the 13 municipalities where more than 250 people are included in the electoral register are included as separate values, the other municipalities are combined in one aggregated category), "valgdag_stemme" (election day vote, whether you live in a municipality where it is poosible to vote on the election day) and "forvaltningsområde" (adminitrative area, whether you live in a municipality that is a part of the Sámi language administrative area). The variables gender and age are also found as census variables, in addition to being asked in the questionnaire. It is recommended to use the variables from the census.

title: Party-Interest Group Relationships in Contemporary Democracies (PAIRDEM) datasets

description: The Party-Interest Group Relationships in Contemporary Democracies (PAIRDEM) datasets include cross-national data from three different surveys of 1) central party organizations (PAIRDEM_CPOsurvey_final), 2) legislative party groups (PAIRDEM_PPsurvey_final), and 3) interest groups (PAIRDEM_IG_survey_final). A fourth dataset (PAIRDEM-PPDB_data_v1_2_final) on coding of party statutes and party finance data was established together with the Political Party Database (PPDB). 

The datasets contain novel indicators on party-group relationships in up to 21 mature democracies and can be used to answer a variety of possible research questions. The datasets enable researchers and students to examine party group ties from both sides - within and outside the legislative arena - and thus cover a range of different relational aspects including new indicators such as groups' input to parties' decision-making processes.

PAIRDEM covers 21 countries: Australia, Austria, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Iceland, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Japan, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Sweden, Switzerland, the United Kingdom and the United States.

Here you can find all the PAIRDEM datasets, codebooks, survey scripts and documentation reports. For more information on the project we refer to our research note in Party Politics (DOI forthcoming) and the survey documentation reports. See also the project website: https://pairdem.org/

title: Local Government Organization at Municipal and County Level, County Sample, 2021

description: The Ministry of Local Government and Modernization's organization database (the organization database) is a survey that is sent out to all Norwegian county administrations. For each round of data collection, a similar survey is also sent to the municipalities. The survey has been conducted eight times: in 1995, 1996, and then every four years - the year after the municipal council and county council elections. Most of the questions in the survey have been asked one or more times before, and there is thus time series data for large parts of the questions in this year's survey.

The survey collected information on how the counties are organized as political units, and how the administrative apparatus is structured. In addition, the survey looked at how the county administration communicates and interacts with its inhabitants, how county administration’s tasks are solved and how their operation is organized.

title: SMARTNORTH: Sustainable development and MAnagement by paRTicipatory governance practices in the High NORTH, 2021

description: The project investigates the scope of and driving forces for the development of participatory governance (PG) practices and their potential effects on sustainable development in High North communities. The growing use of ICT technology and so-called "smart" city/community/region concepts open up new areas for public innovation, especially regarding the development of new PG practices in the High North. Such innovations can give greater voice to local stakeholders, in relation to strategic, urban and financial planning decisions in the High North territories. However, knowledge about the nature of such PG practices in the context of the High North is mostly missing. This project would address the need for new knowledge about:

   1) the variation of practices in the High North;
   2) the driving forces behind the development of such PG practices, their divergence or convergence within the High North and towards global trends; and 
   3) the potential effects of such PG practices on the sustainable development of High North communities.

Founded on an international team, the project is an interdisciplinary research, combining the fields of public administration, management and organizational science. The two-year project will:
   1) map PG experiences in the High North via a comprehensive media review;
   2) identify and conduct in-depth qualitative studies of several exceptional cases of PG experiences in the High North territories of Norway, Finland, Russia and North America, through documentary analysis, observations, interviews and experimental methodology. 

We will summarize and conceptualize PG experiences in the High North by incorporating the dimension of countries' comparison. The output of the project will be five papers in top international academic journals, several chronicles in High North newspapers, a policy-oriented report, participatory practices' guidelines and a bank of best PG practices in the High North.
