  • Retorisk Brobygging
    Retorisk brobygging En argumentasjonsanalyse av Siv Jensens ytringer i den siste partilederdebatten til NRK i stortingsvalget 2013 Julie Odner Sigurdsen Masteroppgave i retorikk og språklig kommunikasjon ved Institutt for lingvistiske og nordiske studier UNIVERSITETET I OSLO VÅREN 2014 1 Sammendrag Denne oppgaven handler om Siv Jensens retoriske brobygging mellom sitt eget parti og de andre borgerlige partiene i stortingsvalgkampen 2013. Analysematerialet er den siste partilederdebatten til NRK. Ved å bruke Stephen Toulmins argumentasjonsmodell har jeg analysert argumentasjonen i Siv Jensen ytringer for å se hvordan hun argumenterte for å fremme sin egen partipolitikk, samtidig som hun virket som en troverdig regjeringspartner for de andre borgerlige partiene. Resultatene viser at selv om Siv Jensen baserer mye av argumentasjonen på tradisjonelle Frp-verdier, er retorikken mindre opposisjonell enn tidligere. Hovedsakelige baserer Siv Jensens retoriske valg seg på å være vag, tvetydig og overordnet i sine svar. Analysen viser også at debatten bærer preg av at flere uenigheter flyr under radaren ved at journalistene ikke stiller de riktige spørsmålene. 2 Forord Fremskrittspartiet har alltid har fascinert meg. Da jeg gikk på videregående stemte to av 31 stykker i klassen på partiet, og det første året jeg kunne stemme, i 2009, gikk jeg til urnene og stemte SV. Men noe skjedde i 2012 da jeg satt på en frokostdebatt arrangert av Fremtiden i våre hender. Hvem var han flinke fyren som snakket om hvor viktig det var å bygge ut jernbanen i Norge? Han jeg egentlig kunne si meg helt enig med? Jo, det var Ketil Solvik-Olsen fra Fremskrittspartiet. Året etter begynte folk for alvor å snakke om at Fremskrittspartiet kom til å komme i regjering.

  • High-Level Statement1
    HIGH-LEVEL STATEMENT1 We made promises which we intend to keep. We promised that women and girls would be at the center of many of the Sustainable Development Goals which the world came together to agree in 2016. America’s Global Gag Rule breaks that promise as it has a chilling effect on health services for the world’s most vulnerable women and girls. It will imperil millions of women and girls’ lives by increasing unintended pregnancies and unsafe abortions. It will also reverse decades of progress on reproductive, maternal and child health by putting critical health and family planning services and supplies out of reach for those who most need them. There are currently 225 million women in developing countries who want to avoid pregnancy but are not using modern contraception. Maternal mortality is the second‐leading cause of death for girls aged 15 to 19 years old, and the burden of unsafe abortion also falls overwhelmingly on the poorest. The evidence shows that access to contraception is transformative for girls, women and their families and communities. It is linked to greater gender equality, educational attainment and economic development. Health providers around the world face a painful choice between losing their US funding and losing the freedom to offer a full range of reproductive health services. We’ve been here before. Since its inception in 1984, the Global Gag Rule has been put into place at the start of every Republican administration and promptly rescinded under each Democratic administration. It’s time to take politics out of gender rights.

  • Kartlegging Av Partienes Toppkandidaters Erfaring Fra Næringslivet Stortingsvalget 2021
    Kartlegging av partienes toppkandidaters erfaring fra næringslivet Stortingsvalget 2021 I det videre følger en kartlegging av hvilken erfaring fra næringslivet toppkandidatene fra dagens stortingspartier i hver valgkrets har. Det vil si at i hver valgkrets, har alle de ni stortingspartiene fått oppført minst én kandidat. I tillegg er det kartlagt også for øvrige kandidater som har en relativt stor sjanse for å bli innvalgt på Stortinget, basert på NRKs «supermåling» fra juni 2021. I noen valgkretser er det derfor mange «toppkandidater». Dette skyldes at det er stor usikkerhet knyttet til hvilke partier som vinner de siste distriktsmandatene, og ikke minst utjevningsmandatene. Følgende to spørsmål har vært utgangspunktet for kartleggingen: 1. Har kandidaten drevet egen bedrift? 2. Har kandidaten vært ansatt daglig leder i en bedrift? Videre er kartleggingen basert på følgende kilder: • Biografier på Stortingets nettside. • Offentlig tilgjengelig informasjon på nettsider som Facebook, LinkedIn, Proff.no, Purehelp.no og partienes egne hjemmesider. • Medieoppslag som sier noe om kandidatenes yrkesbakgrunn. Kartleggingen har derfor flere mulige feilkilder. For eksempel kan informasjonen som er offentlig tilgjengelig, være utdatert eller mangelfull. For å begrense sjansen for feil, har kildene blitt kryssjekket. SMB Norge tar derfor forbehold om dette ved offentliggjøring av kartleggingen, eller ved bruk som referanse.

  • Statement by H.E. Ms. Erna Solberg, Prime Minister of Norway, at the Launch of the Interim Report of the High-Level Panel On
    Statement by H.E. Ms. Erna Solberg, Prime Minister of Norway, at the Launch of the Interim Report of the High-Level Panel on International Financial Accountability, Transparency and Integrity (FACTI) for Achieving the 2030 Agenda High-Level Launch Event and Panel Discussion 24 September 2020 8:00-10:30 AM (New York Time) Ladies and gentleman, Let me start by congratulating the organizers of today’s launch of the Interim Report of the FACTI Panel. I commend the co-chairs, former president Grybauskaité and former prime minister Mayaki for their steady steering of this process in what we all know are very challenging times. I would also like to thank Nigeria and the other co-hosts of this event. We greatly value our cooperation with you on raising awareness of this important topic. In the last 15 years, the international community has shown an increased interest in understanding the causes, sources, and effects of illicit financial frauds, but there is still much work to be done. As this report shows us, financial secrecy and illicit frauds can take many different forms. However, the effects are always the same. They lock people and countries in poverty, and have a severe impact on institutions, governance, democracy, and security. During the COVID19 crisis illicit frauds are exacerbating already significant social and economic challenges. The very few people who gain from illicit financial frauds do so at the cost of the many. It undermines our promise to leave no one behind. There is already a great deal of information about persisting gaps and loopholes in the global financial systems.

  • Politisk Regnskap for 2010
    VENSTRES STORTINGSGRUPPE POLITISK REGNSKAP 2010 Miljø, kunnskap, nyskaping og fattigdoms- bekjempelse Oslo, 23.06.10 Dokumentet finnes i klikkbart format på www.venstre.no 2 1. STORTINGSGRUPPA Venstres stortingsgruppe består i perioden 2005-09 av Trine Skei Grande (Oslo) og Borghild Tenden (Akershus). Trine Skei Grande er representert i kirke-, utdannings- og forskningskomiteen og kontroll- og konstitusjonskomiteen. Borghild Tenden er representert i finanskomiteen. Abid Q. Raja har møtt som vararepresentant for Borhild Tenden i perioden 1. til 16. oktober 2009, 30. november til 5. desember 2009 og fra 17. til 25. mars 2010. Stortingsgruppa har seks ansatte på heltid. 2. VIKTIGE SAKER FOR STORTINGSGRUPPA Venstres stortingsgruppe har valgt noen områder hvor vi mener det er behov for en mer offensiv og tydligere kurs. Ved siden av å forsvare liberale rettigheter har Venstres stortingsgruppe denne perioden derfor prioritert kunnskap, miljø og selvstendig næringsdrivende. Denne prioriteringen er synlig både i Venstres alternative budsjetter, i forslag som er fremmet på Stortinget og spørsmål som er stilt til statsrådene. I tillegg har Venstres stortingsgruppe vist at vi vil prioritere mer til dem som trenger det mest; både gjennom representantforslag for å bekjempe fattigdom hos barn, en bedre rusbehandling og et bedre barnevern. Venstre fremmet også et eget forslag om en velferdsreform som ble behandlet sammen med samhandlingsreformen. På Venstres landsmøte tidligere i år pekte Venstres nyvalgte leder, Trine Skei Grande, på fem utvalgte områder som vil være Venstres hovedprioritet den kommende tiden. Hun lovet at Venstre skal prioritere en milliard mer årlig til lærere, forskning, selvstendig næringsdrivende og småbedrifter, jernbane og for å bekjempe fattigdom.

  • Fact Sheet on "Political System of Norway"
    Legislative Council Secretariat FSC49/13-14 FACT SHEET Political system of Norway 1. Overview 1.1 Norway is a constitutional monarchy with a parliamentary democratic system of governance. The king is the head of state, while the Prime Minister is the head of government. According to the Constitution, the government structure consists of three branches, which are: (a) the Executive Branch, (b) the Legislative Branch (known as Stortinget which is a unicameral legislature established by the Constitution), and (c) the Judicial Branch. This fact sheet provides an overview of the three branches in Norway. 2. The monarchy 2.1 In Norway, the king has a tangible influence as the symbol of national unity. The current monarch is King Harald V who was crowned on 17 January 1991. In practice, the king performs largely ceremonial functions and is empowered to: (a) appoint the Ministers of the Council of State (the Cabinet); (b) preside over the Council of State; (c) sign acts into law and those acts shall be countersigned by the Prime Minister; (d) host official visits by foreign heads of state and pay state visits abroad; and (e) serve as the Commander-in-Chief. Research Office page 1 Legislative Council Secretariat FSC49/13-14 3. Executive Branch 3.1 Although the Constitution grants the important executive powers to the monarch, these are almost always exercised by the Council of State in the name of the king (i.e. King's Council). The Council of State consists of the Prime Minister and at least seven other Ministers. The current Prime Minister is Erna Solberg, the second woman to hold the position.

  • Urgent Action
    1st update on UA: 9/18 Index: EUR 36/7957/2018 Norway Date: 28 February 2018 URGENT ACTION STUDENT AT RISK OF DEPORTATION TO AFGHANISTAN 18-year old student Taibeh Abbasi is at imminent risk of being deported to Afghanistan, a country she has never been to. Despite the rise in the number of civilian casualties in Afghanistan, Norway has declared Kabul safe for returns. Should Taibeh Abbasi be deported to war-torn Afghanistan, she would be at serious risk of human rights violations. 18 year-old student Taibeh Abbasi, alongside her mother and two brothers, is at risk of being deported from Norway to Afghanistan at any moment following the Supreme Court’s decision on 30 November 2017 to reject the family’s appeal of the decision to revoke their refugee status. On 19 February, the Immigration Appeals Board (UNE) rejected their petition for reversal and ordered the family to leave Norway by 11 March. Taibeh Abbasi was born in Iran to Afghan parents belonging to the Hazara minority ethnic group. The family fled Afghanistan in 1998, during the Taliban’s regime. Due to discrimination in Iran, Taibeh Abbasi’s family left for Norway in the summer of 2012. They have since lived in Trondheim, central Norway, where Taibeh Abbasi and her brothers attend school and have fully integrated. Taibeh Abbasi and her family were granted refugee status in Norway in September 2012. However on 25 March 2014 the Immigration Director revoked the family’s status, stating that there was insufficient proof of a well-founded fear of persecution in Afghanistan and that Kabul was deemed a safe place for return.

    To, Her Excellency Erna Solberg Prime Minister of Norway Glacisgata 1, Oslo Copy to: Honourable Monica Mæland Minister of Justice and Public Security Honourable Dag Inge Ulstein Minister of International Development Honourable Iselin Nybø Minister of Trade and Industry Honourable Bent Høie Minister of Health and Care Services 15 February 2021 Subject: Civil Society from Global South Calls for Support on COVID-19 TRIPS Waiver Honourable Prime Minister Erna Solberg, The undersigned represent more than 200 non-governmental organizations and trade unions from developing countries struggling to secure COVID-19 vaccines as the pandemic devastates our communities and economies. We are writing to urge your government to withdraw its opposition and to support the proposal currently on the table at the World Trade Organization (WTO) to waive certain TRIPS1 obligations for the prevention, treatment, and containment of COVID-19. The proposal was presented by India and South Africa on October 2, 2020. This proposal has gained the support and co-sponsorship of developing countries from around the world. The vast majority of developing countries as well as international organizations including the World Health Organization, the Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS), UNITAID, and representatives of civil society, trade unions, human rights experts and academia have expressed their support for the proposed waiver.2 Since the start of the pandemic, Norway has expressed support for equitable and affordable access to all effective and safe vaccines, diagnostics, treatments, and other health technologies. And yet Norway continues to obstruct and oppose the waiver proposal, which seeks to remove relevant intellectual property monopolies so that production of COVID-19 medical products may be expanded and diversified globally.
