Perhaps this is the right time to remind you that many great discoveries happened by chance, but that chance is never chance, it always favours the eyes of those who are prepared to see. Nothing is more useful than useless knowledge. It prepares us to see and to think outside the rigid frameworks in which we so often let ourselves be trapped. (Nóvoa 2015, 53) Indeed, this thesis stands on boundary lines of disciplines, of languages, and of history. Thus, it is a product of carefully prepared serendipity in dialogues and encounters with scholarship in history, education, political science, migration studies, and the grey areas that fall between. It presents a text written in English about texts written in Danish with all the possibilities and pitfalls of those elements that may be lost or found in translation. It demonstrates research triggered in the present by a discomfort with the trappings of unquestioned problem-solving practices emerging in response to immigrant schoolchildren’s presence in Denmark since the 1970s. To avoid these trappings, this thesis demonstrates an effort to make itself usefully useless. None of these efforts would have been possible without continuous dialogues and encounters with colleagues, scholars, friends, and family to whom I owe much gratitude. I am deeply indebted to Bolette Moldenhawer and Trine Øland for inviting me to join the collective research

Though merely whetting our appetites, this taster has confi rmed Denmark’s infl uential contribution to our continent’s cultural wealth. Happily, Denmark’s contribution to the European Union is far more extensive and will, undoubtedly, be in the spotlight throughout the fi rst half of 2012! A modern state, where European and international sea routes converge, Denmark has frequently drawn on its talents and fl ourishing economy to make its own, distinctive mark. It is in tune with the priorities for 2020: competitiveness, social inclusion and the need for ecologically sustainable change.

  • Day by Day Summary of the Election Campaign
    Day by Day Summary of the Election Campaign Friday, 26 August It was Prime Minister Lars Løkke Rasmussen’s plan to introduce a bonus to people purchasing a house. This bonus has been criticized for artificially inflating house prices and therefore for being a bad way to instigate growth. On Saturday 20 August the Social Democrats (S) somehow learned about the plan and decided to launch it themselves, despite Helle Thorning-Schmidt having said on Friday that she did not want to introduce measures to stimulate the housing market. This led to a chaotic Saturday where Løkke Rasmussen and the Liberal Party (V) tried to do damage control. Quickly the Danish People’s Party (DF) declared their opposition to the plan due to a lot of their voters not being house owners. Liberal Alliance (LA) is as a general rule opposed to state subsidies so they were opposed as well leaving V and the Conservative Party (K) alone with the plan on the blue wing. On the red wing the situation was similar. S and the Socialist People’s Party (SF) agreed on the idea while the Unity List (EL) represents the left wing and therefore does not believe in the state funding those with the means to buy a house – plus a lot of their voters rent their homes. The Social Liberal Party (R) is opposed with the argument that the plan is a shortsighted one which will probably not do much for the economy anyway. Thus S-SF and VK were alone and they did not want to cooperate to get a majority for the plan.

  • Accommodation of Welfare Chauvinism by Denmarkâ•Žs Social Democrats
    M.A. in Political Science with a Concentration in European Union Policy Studies James Madison University Putting Up…or Shutting Out? Accommodation of Welfare Chauvinism by Denmark’s Social Democrats Catharine Carstens Abstract Welfare chauvinism first appeared in academic literature when Norwegian and Danish political parties began framing immigration as a threat to the social democratic system’s survival; since then, it has become a cornerstone of populist ideology in Europe. A form of quasi-retrenchment, welfare chauvinism has been advanced in Denmark by the Danish People’s Party (DF), which sees immigration as a threat to the welfare state and presents chauvinism as the cure – pursuing one form of retrenchment to “prevent” another. DF’s electoral popularity puts the Social Democratic party (S) between a rock and a hard place, torn between the electoral necessities of accommodating chauvinism and maintaining support for the welfare state. In this paper, I argue that indirect retrenchment is too politically costly an option for S to pursue; instead, it will accommodate DF’s chauvinism by supporting direct retrenchment. I hypothesize that, via votes in the Danish parliament from 2004 to 2019, S has attempted to make it more difficult to obtain citizenship and residency rights (thus making it more difficult to obtain benefits) and make it easier for these rights, and thus the benefits, to be revoked. My findings broadly, but tentatively, support this claim. I also find that S has supported a third form of direct retrenchment: encouraging repatriation of foreigners to their home countries, which would entail a loss of benefits.
