Justifications of deregulating financial markets in Norway and Finland Forfatter(e) Prosjektnummer Faglig ansvarlig sign. Pekka Sulkunen 11201014 Oppdragsgiver Norges Forskningsråd Sammendrag Rapporten dokumenter at dereguleringen av den norske og finske økonomien først og fremst handlet om politikk og politiske prosesser, og i liten grad begrunnet i økonomisk teori. Heller ikke neoliberal filosofi slik vi kjenner den fra USA og Storbritannia spilte noen stor rolle i de to landene. Isteden handlet det om forestillingen om, og fremveksten av, en ny type velferdsstat med behov for en moralsk legitimering av autonomi. Summary The report documents that the deregulation of the Norwegian and Finnish economy primarily was about politics and political processes, and to a much lesser extent about justifications rooted in economic theory. Nor neoliberal philosophy as we know it from the US and Britain played a major role in the two countries. Instead, it was about the notion, and the emergence of, a new kind of welfare state in need of a moral legitimization of autonomy.

Sandvika Telefon: +47 67 55 74 51 Fax: +47 67 55 74 50 Mail: [email protected] 2 Sammendrag og forord Utfra en historiefaglig synsvinkel beskriver og analyserer rapporten utvik- lingen av norsk samvirkebeskatning fra slutten av 1800-tallet og frem til en høyesterettsdom i 2001. Skattelovene av 1911 innebar at samvirkeforetak innen jordbrukssektoren og forbruksforeninger (kooperasjonen) ble under- lagt et særskilt skatteregime frem til skattereformen i 1992. Skatteregimet ble utvidet til fiskerisamvirke i 1931 og salgssamvirke i skogbruket i 1949. Skatteregimet innebar at samvirkeforetak innenfor disse sektorer ble prosent- lignet, ikke regnskapslignet som andre foretak. Prosentligningen innebar at skattbar inntekt ble fastsatt til en viss andel av samvirkeforetakets skattbare formue. Den særskilte skattleggingen av samvirke var motivert utfra et politisk ønske om å fremme organisasjonsformen innenfor utvalgte deler av økonomien på begynnelsen av 1900-tallet. Samtidig erkjente politikerne at ordinær regn- skapsligning ikke uten videre kunne benytte i skattleggingen av samvirke- foretak på grunn av organisasjonsformens særpreg.

    RAPPORT 2003:9 Nettversjon Det har siden starten av 1990-tallet funnet sted en sterk vekst både av antall treningssentre og av an- tallet som trener ved disse tilbudene. Det har fra ulike hold blitt uttrykt bekymring for hvilke konse- kvenser utviklingen vil ha for den frivillig organiserte idretten. Treningssentrenes befatning med barn, trenings- sentrenes innvirkning på dugnadsånden som domi- nerer den frivillig organiserte idretten, en eventuell flukt fra den frivillig organiserte til den kommersielt organiserte fysiske aktiviteten, og mulige helsemes- sige klasseskiller som følge av treningssentrenes høye treningsavgift, er noen av temaene som har skapt debatt gjennom mediene og i Norges Idrettsforbund. Denne debatten har bygget på spekulasjoner fremfor fakta, etter som en sammenlikning av fysisk aktivitet ved norske treningssentre og idrettslag ikke tidligere har vært gjennomført vitenskapelig. Siktemålet med denne rapporten er å bidra til frukt- bare diskusjoner med utgangspunkt i forsknings- basert kunnskap.

  • Crowning Moments: Transformative Populist Use of the Media and the Case of Carl I
    NORDICOM REVIEW Crowning Moments Transformative populist use of the media and the case of Carl I. Hagen Hilmar Mjelde Department of Information Science and Media Studies, University of Bergen, Norway Abstract This article presents the concept of a “crowning moment” and proposes an explanation for the media-savviness of many populist leaders – an under-theorised ability often referred to in existing research. A crowning moment is an instance in which populist leaders take advan- tage of opportunities that arise in their surroundings to achieve a or multiple major policy, political and/or personal goals through skilful use of the media that earns them recognition as savvy politicians. The concept is exemplified through an analysis of Norwegian Progress Party leader Carl I. Hagen’s role in the 1987 no-confidence motion against the Labour Party government. Stoking up and exploiting media interest in dramatic fashion, Hagen managed to redefine himself as a national political leader and made his party appear responsible. Keywords: crowning moment, populist use of the media, Carl I. Hagen, populism, strategi- cal media use Introduction Existing research finds, first, that the media facilitate populism, as there is overlap -be tween populist communication and media production styles (e.g. tabloidisation) (Blumler & Kavanagh, 1999; Esser et al., 2017; Mazzoleni, 2008, 2014; Manucci, 2017; Mudde, 2004). Second, the media-savviness of populist leaders such as Jörg Haider, Carl I. Hagen, Geert Wilders, Silvio Berlusconi, Marine Le Pen, Nigel Farage and Donald Trump is frequently cited as a key factor in their political rise, even though this ability has not been much theorised (Boczkowski & Papacharissi, 2018; Esser et al., 2017; Manucci, 2017; Mazzoleni, 2008, 2014).

Arbeidet med denne oppgaven har vært både utfordrende og lærerikt. Spesielt har arbeidet med arkivmaterialet vært interessant og bydd på flere utfordringer. Veien fra arkivmaterialet til den ferdige oppgaven har vært lang og krevende, og i den forbindelse er det flere personer jeg ønsker å takke. Først og fremst vil jeg takke veileder Even Lange for hjelp til strukturering av oppgaven og for gode råd og tilbakemeldinger på kapittelutkastene. Dette har vært spesielt viktige i den hektiske sluttfasen av arbeidet med oppgaven. Min oppgave har også vært skrevet i tilknytning til Forum for samtidshistories prosjekt "Høyres historie 1975-2005", og en stor takk rettes i den forbindelse til Hallvard Notaker. Han har vært til uvurderlig hjelp, både i skrivearbeidet og arbeidet med arkivmaterialet. Veiledningen har tidvis gått langt ut over vanlig kontortid, og jeg vil takke Notaker for hans tålmodighet i denne forbindelse. En stor takk rettes også til Høyre, Kristelig Folkeparti og Senterpartiet for innsyn i deres arkivmateriale. Videre rettes en takk til Høyres stortingsgruppe som har latt meg få komme og se på møtereferater, og til Riksarkivet og Stortingsarkivet for hjelp med å finne frem i arkivmaterialet. Til slutt vil jeg også takke venner og familie for støtte i de periodene hvor arbeidet med oppgaven har vært ekstra tungt.

  • Job De Ruiter (* 30 April 1930 – † 4 Oktober 2015)
    Job de Ruiter (* 30 april 1930 – † 4 oktober 2015) Job de Ruiter werd de eerste dagen na zijn dood in de Nederlandse pers vooral herdacht als politicus. Terecht, want hij heeft tijdens de jaren van zijn ministerschap (1977-1986) enkele netelige en al jaren slepende discussies beslecht die Nederland – al lijken dit grote woorden - beslist verder geholpen hebben. Wie was de man, die deze huzarenstukjes volbracht? En wat had hij met het Historisch Documentatiecentrum voor het Nederlands Protestantisme van doen? De Ruiter werd geboren in een groot gezin in Giessendam. Het gezin telde nog zeven jongens en vier meisjes. Zijn vader, aannemer, was een overtuigd gereformeerd man die in 1944 mee ging met de Vrijmaking. Misschien was dat de reden dat de jonge Job in 1948 niet aan de Vrije Universiteit, immers een bolwerk van de ‘synodalen’, ging studeren maar in Utrecht. De Ruiter werd lid van de reformatorische studentenvereniging SSR Utrecht. Daarvan was ook zijn studiegenoot Willem Aantjes lid. SSR stond onder de bezielende maar soms ook dwingende leiding van de destijds eeuwige student George Puchinger, die pas in 1955 zou afstuderen en daarvoor eindeloos colleges liep: filosofie, theologie, geschiedenis en Nederlands. De Ruiter heeft naderhand wel laten doorschemeren dat hij moeite had met de koers, die Puchinger eind jaren veertig, begin jaren vijftig voorstond met SSR. De student wist allerlei professoren aan zich te binden (onder wie zijn leermeester F.C. Gerretson, de hoogleraar koloniale geschiedenis in Utrecht), die schreven voor Polemios. Oecumenisch-nationale publicaties op calvinistische grondslag, zoals het tijdschrift – dat om de veertien dagen verscheen – al snel heette.
