JOURNAL OF COMPARATIVE POLITICS 4 GOVERNANCE STRATEGIES TO AN AGEING SOCIETY – LOCAL ROLE IN MULTI LEVEL PROCESSES Cristina BARBOSA, Paulo FEIO, Ana FERNANDES and Mats THORSLUND1 ……………………………………………………………….…………………………………………… Demographic ageing marks strategic orientations and public policies. It’s a challenge to societies, public and private institutions and Welfare State. The goal of this study is to understand the local governance strategies to an ageing population and the role of the local in multilevel governance processes. A qualitative methodology it was followed that supports analysis and understanding of both local ageing policies. The samples are case studies of two contexts, Portugal and Sweden, respectively city councils of Lisbon and Nacka, where stakeholders were interviewed. Different concepts and visions influence local ageing policies. Vertical coordination is easier to follow in Portugal, but without concrete laws, and in Sweden, horizontal coordination is emphasized between providers and municipalities. Local public intervention in ageing seeks renewed actions and this study allows to conclude that a perfect local policy doesn’t exist. However in many aspects, can be complementary. Key words: local policies; public policy; governance. 1 INTRODUCTION Some authors consider ageing of the world population, a progressive and rapid phenomenon with unprecedented implications in societies of all countries (United Nations Population Fund and HelpAge International 2012). Harper (2010, 178) argues that population ageing is not a new phenomenon, but its pace of change and worldwide amplitude are growing rapidly. Cravey and Mitra (2011, 306) presents that all around the world, older populations are increasing and from 1950 to 1998, the world population over age 60 grew 255 million. By the year 2025, that number is expected to be 1.3 billion; the majority, 839 1 Cristina BARBOSA, UNIFAI – Institute for the Biomedical Sciences Abel Salazar, Porto University and ISCTE, University Institute of Lisbon, contact: [email protected].

JOURNAL OF COMPARATIVE POLITICS 5 million, will reside in developing countries and at least 500 million will reside in developed countries. A gender difference is also a specific characteristic to take into account, because women tend to live longer than men, with the result that there are older women worldwide than older men. In 2012, for every 100 women over age 60, there were 84 men, and this tendency creates so called feminization of ageing, particularly the relatively large proportion of the “oldest old” who are women and this have important implications for policy (United Nations Population Fund and HelpAge International 2012). Population ageing marks the contemporary society, imposing new conceptualisation, practices, and personal and social views. Despite the disparity in political orientations and policy models, strategies for ageing are characterized by innovative and challenging forms of action among the various layers of expertise, specifically with regard to the level of local expertise. In this framework, local governments and local and regional actors emerge as key players in capitalizing opportunities for active ageing and to promote solidarity between generations. For Age Platform Europe (2011), these actors are the only ones able to understand and respond to the specific challenges of demographic ageing to communities. The aim of this article is to analyze which are the local governance roles and practice strategies to an ageing population and to understand which could be the role of the local institutions and stakeholders in multilevel governance processes. The specific aims are to understand the new paradigms of ageing public policies; to understand and to analyze the State intervention in ageing field; to discuss and

Whether it is Donald Trump’s Twitter account, Larry Flynt’s pornographic magazine, protests, the financing of an election campaign, or hate speech directed at migrants or minorities, free speech incidents attract intense attention and regularly provoke debate. The limits to our freedom of expression are changing. The forthcoming Free Speech in the 21st Century global conference will feature unique exploration into crucial freedom of speech is- sues. It will gather together the biggest names in constitutional law to debate the future of the human right that is so important to democratic society. You are invited to attend and participate. Mark Tushnet of Harvard, Jacob Rowbottom of Oxford, and David Erdos of Cambridge, among others, will evaluate how the matter of free speech is currently understood, and its future. András Sajó, a member of Facebook’s Oversight Board and a former European Court of Human Rights vice-president, will elaborate on the changing limits of freedom of expression. Jurij To- plak of Alma Mater Europaea and a Visiting Professor at Fordham Law will moderate the event.

ISSN 1854-0805 QUoTESofThEfortnight Marjan Hribar / Director-General of the Tourism Directorate/ In the sphere of sustainable development in tourism, Slovenia certainly doesn’t lag behind the most competi- tive tourist states, Lipica, April 15: Perhaps in this sphere, it is in some things even a step ahead compared to others. Slovenia has recently taken numerous steps ahead towards an increas- ing ecological awareness, and the first certificates were recently awarded with regard to that. The analysis of the World Economic Forum on sustainable development in tourism placed Slovenia, among 130 countries, in 17th place in the world, which is good. The Slovenian invitation for applications for selection of the Eu- ropean Destination of Excellence 2008 this year received appli- cations for 16 destinations. As the winning destination, which Slovenia will nominate to the European Commission for the title European Destination of Excellence 2008, the commission chose the SoËa valley. Žiga Turk /Minister of Development/ Climate changes can also be good for business, Brdo pri Kranju, April 16: Climate change don’t only represent the costs needed to fight them or to adjust to them; at the same time they are a business opportunity. Namely, the combat against climate change accelerates growth and creates jobs in industries such as, for example, the building sector and renewable energy sources.
