The Court also hosted a colloquy on the occasion of the sixtieth anniversary of the seminal text: the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. The events thus organised must not only look back to the past but also be used to look to the future. The first event was a seminar held at the Court on 13 October 2008, a few days ahead of the tenth anniversary of the entry into force of Protocol No. 11 to the Convention. It was legitimate to celebrate Protocol No. 11, which made the Court a single, full-time institution, whilst bringing to a close the remarkable contribution of the European Commission of Human Rights and adapting the role of the Committee of Ministers. Protocol No. 11 simplified the supervision system and even radically transformed it. The system, being now purely judicial, undoubtedly represents an improvement on the previous mechanism. The right of individual petition and the Court’s compulsory jurisdiction no longer depend on decisions by States: they have been automatic since the entry into force of the Eleventh Protocol or, for those States that have subsequently ratified the Convention, since the date of their respective ratification. An individual right to apply directly to the Court is a major feature of the European system; though slow to win acceptance and still unique in the world, it has become an incontestable acquired right welcomed by all. This right nevertheless has to be reconciled with the need for speedy and effective processing of applications – a challenge of considerable importance that presents equally considerable difficulties. However, in 2008 the Court’s caseload continued to increase. 2007 saw 41,650 new applications allocated to a judicial formation with a view to a decision and in 2008 the figure was in excess of 49,850. The Court gave 1,543 judgments in 2008. In addition, 2008 saw a very large increase in requests for interim measures: some 3,200 requests were received, of which almost 750 were granted, mostly in sensitive cases concerning immigration law and the right of asylum. The causes of this saturation are well known: the Council of Europe, which had twenty- three members in 1990, on the accession of the first central European State (Hungary), now has forty-seven. In addition, some of the new member States have a high case-count with three of them (Russian Federation, Romania and Ukraine) accounting for nearly half of the total number, rising to 56% if Turkey is included. Two further phenomena, however, explain the overloading of the Court, which is the cause of regrettable delays. First, certain applicants, usually because of ignorance about the Convention and the role of the Court, lodge applications which have no prospect of success but which still need to be examined. Secondly, the Court has to deal with a large number of repetitive cases, admittedly well-founded, but which should be disposed of at national level once the relevant principles have become well-established in Strasbourg case-law. The States must bear responsibility for this second problem if they have failed to implement the necessary internal reforms or if reforms have been delayed. Two examples of problems that should be dealt with nationally are the excessive length of proceedings and the failure to enforce domestic judgments. Some commentators have argued that the Convention case-law should be binding erga omnes, and that this would improve matters because all States would have to amend their legislation, and domestic courts would have to develop their own case- law, in line with a judgment of the Court against another State. Increasingly – and fortunately – domestic authorities and courts have been learning from case-law that does not concern them directly, thus creating an erga omnes effect de facto. The Court’s intense activity in 2008, in terms of volume, did not impair the quality of its judgments, a quality that is reflected in particular in the rulings of the Grand Chamber. Examples from last year illustrate the diversity and scope of the Court’s case-law. A number of rulings have been widely reported in legal literature and have had a profound impact. The report contains extensive references to the main judgments and decisions delivered in 2008. In addition, it should be noted that in 2008 the Court gave its first advisory opinion. On the basis of Article 47 of the European Convention on Human Rights, the Court had been asked by the Committee of Ministers of the Council of Europe to give its opinion on certain legal questions concerning the gender balance in the lists of candidates submitted with a view to the election of judges to the European Court of Human Rights. The Court found that, in not allowing any exceptions to the rule that the under-represented sex must be represented, the current practice of the Parliamentary Assembly was not compatible with the Convention: where a Contracting Party had taken all the necessary and appropriate steps with a view to ensuring that the list contained a candidate of the under-represented sex, but without success, and especially where it had followed the Assembly’s recommendations advocating an open and transparent procedure involving a call for candidatures, the Assembly could not reject the

  • Migration Between Politics, Journalism and PR New Conditions for Power, Citizenship and Democracy?
    10.2478/nor-2014-0109 Nordicom Review 35 (2014) Special Issue, pp. 141-153 Migration between Politics, Journalism and PR New Conditions for Power, Citizenship and Democracy? Göran Palm & Håkan Sandström Abstract In this article we present a preliminary theoretical background and some empirical findings concerning a migrating trend between the fields of politics, PR and journalism: one day a political reporter, the next a communication officer; one day a PR consultant, the next a state secretary. To understand contemporary politics one must, we argue, comprehend the convergence between three fields of power holders that together form the realm of politics and communication: elite politicians, elite political reporters and elite communication/PR officers. Together, they form a communication elite that sets the parameters for the public discourse on politics. When politics is produced and constructed in, and through, social networks formed by elite agents from politics, journalism and PR, what does this mean for how democracy is worked out and what does it mean for citizenship in general? Keywords: communication elites, convergence, politics, public relations, journalism, de- mocracy Introduction This text can be seen as a starting point for a research project – Post-politics in Medi- aocracy: the structural transformation of political communication – dealing with the fundamentals of contemporary Swedish politics and democracy. The basic outline of the project concerns social power, power agents and the production and construction of ‘the political’. In focus are the agents that form the realm of politics and political communication, that is, those agents that possess the resources to produce a dominant discourse – a basic knowledge structure – of politics and democracy, but also how this agency is socially and culturally contextualized.

  • Mjuka Män Och Hårda Kvinnor
    Mjuka män och hårda kvinnor – en kvalitativ textanalys om hur kön gestaltas när politiker gästar Skavlan Författare: Emelie Hagbard Lisa Jalakas Handledare: Monika Djerf-Pierre Journalistprogrammet VT 2013 Abstract In this study we have explored how gender is constructed when politicians visit the Swedish talk show Skavlan. This has been done by using the qualitative textual analysis ECA (Ethnographic Content Analysis). Our theoretical points of departure are the interaction between politics and media, the structure of the talk show format and gender theories. Our premise has been that gender is a social and cultural construction that can be both reproduced and renegotiated. A central part of our study has been to analyse the balance of power in the conversation and how this balance may change. Our outset has been that everyone takes part in producing the discourse in which they act. To be able to map out how gender and power is renegotiated in Skavlan we have applied four analytical themes on our material: the interviewer’s (Fredrik Skavlan’s) role in the conversation, the politician’s role in the conversations, the themes of the conversation and how gender is explicitly made visible. Gender is made visible in various ways in the interviews. In general the female politicians are distinguished as deviating from the masculine norm in politics. However, we also found that the male politicians often are described and describe themselves with features that have traditionally been considered feminine. The opposite applies for the female politicians. Furthermore, we found that the male politicians spoke more about their private lives, while the female politicians focused on the professional.

    PR, politics and democracy Sigurd Allern UNIVERSITY OFbOSLO, NORWAY ABSTRACT: Th is article examines the relationship between politics and public relations, based on re- cent developments in Sweden and Norway. It has become increasingly common for PR fi rms to off er well-paid job opportunities for former politicians. Th en, aft er some years as advisors in public aff airs, including lobbying activity, some of them return to politics as members of the government, press of- fi cers or advisors. Th e article discusses the background for this development, and poses some ques- tions concerning integrity and the possible consequences for democracy. KEYWORDS: public relations, lobbying, politics, integrity, democracy INTRODUCTION Public relations consultants cover many areas of communication and perform a range of roles. One type of modern PR much in demand concerns public aff airs: stakeholders who want to infl uence political decisions and legislation buy advice and services concerning media initiatives and lobbying. In this marketplace, former politicians have found opportunities for new careers as well-paid PR consultants. Th ey can then render their services to clients for a fee without being accused of cor- ruption, as would be the case if they still were members of the government or parlia- ment. One of the most spectacular events in Scandinavia in this context was when Sweden’s former Prime Minister Göran Persson1 joined the PR fi rm JKL aft er the Social Democratic Party lost the national elections in 2006. In Norway, two of the country’s best-known and most experienced politicians, one of them a cabi- net minister, announced their transition to PR consultant companies just aft er the 2009 national elections.2 All these cases gave rise to public debates about 1 Göran Persson served as Prime Minister of Sweden from 1996 to 2006 and was the leader of the Sweden’s Social Democratic Party from 2006 to 2007.

  • Hon Är Favorit Till Att Bli Liberalernas Nästa Partiledare
    Hon är favorit till att bli Liberalernas nästa partiledare Igår meddelade Jan Björklund att han avgår som Liberalernas partiledare, och nu kan Unibet presentera odds på vem som tar över efter den gamle majoren. Favorit i oddslistan är Nyamko Sabuni, tätt följd av Cecilia Malmström och Mats Persson. Efter att Jan Björklund meddelade sin avgång har spekulationerna kring vem som ska ta över ordförandeskapet för L rullat igång. Enligt oddsen från Unibet är det ovisst, med knappt favoritskap för Nyamko Sabuni, Cecilia Malmström och Mats Persson. Blir det Sabuni eller Malmström som tar över är det blott andra gången en kvinna styr partiet. – Liberalerna har endast haft en kvinnlig partiledare, och det var Maria Leissner under andra halvan av 90-talet. Sabuni är knapp favorit, men det är oerhört jämnt i oddslistan, och bakom topptrion återfinns exempelvis Birgitta Ohlsson, säger Henrik Holm, spelexpert på Unibet. Birgitta Ohlsson spelas till oddset 5.00, precis som den förre partisekreteraren Johan Pehrson. Den nuvarande partisekreteraren Maria Arnholm står i oddset 10.00, och ett spel på den förre integrationsministern Erik Ullenhag ger 15 gånger pengarna. – Birgitta Ohlsson är ju den som de senaste åren legat närmast till hands att efterträda Björklund. Det blir väldigt intressant att se vem som blir ny partiledare, Ohlsson är inte speciellt långt efter i oddslistan och kanske är det hennes tur nu, säger Henrik Holm, spelexpert på Unibet.

  • Urban Riots in Sweden Is There Continuity Or Change in the Political Discourse?
    Urban Riots in Sweden Is there Continuity or Change in the Political Discourse? Master´s Thesis in Political Science Author: Niklas Ylander Supervisor: Gunnar Myrberg Word count: 19777 Thesis defence seminars: 2-6 March 2015 Uppsala University Department of Government ABSTRACT In the last ten years several violent protests have emerged in Sweden´s largest cities. Some of them have developed into real riots, resulting in burned cars and large police operations. These violent events, or ‘urban riots’, are a relatively new phenomenon in Sweden. The aim of this qualitative study is to investigate the structure of the discourse among the Swedish political elite in power. I will observe if the political discourse on disadvantaged areas in Sweden is characterized by continuity or change after urban riots. This study examines four urban riot cases, between 2005 and 2013. To study how the political discourse is constructed, framing theory elements are combined with elements from discourse analysis. The characteristic features of the two framing dimensions are outlined which gives me a framework to categorize the political discourse. The two dimensions are; diagnostic and prognostic frames. The discourse analytical elements are used in order to systemize who is included in the political discourse by the political elite in power. A discourse analysis is then conducted on the collected empirical material, which consists of newspaper articles and parliamentarian debates from the Swedish parliament. The results from the analysis suggest that the disadvantaged districts are not salient both before and after the riots among the political elite in power, except for the last case.

This complex situation presents Europe with one its greatest challenges: how to ensure equal rights in an environment of rapidly expanding diversity. IN MALMÖ At Home in Europe, part of the Open Society Initiative for Europe, Open Society Foundations, is a research and advocacy initiative which works to advance equality and social justice for minority and marginalised groups excluded from the mainstream of civil, political, economic, and, cultural life in Western Europe. Somalis in European Cities Muslims in EU Cities was the project’s first comparative research series which examined the position of Muslims in 11 cities in the European Union. Somalis in European cities follows from the findings emerging from the Muslims in EU Cities reports and offers the experiences and challenges faced by Somalis across seven cities in Europe. The research aims to capture the everyday, lived experiences as well as the type and degree of engagement policymakers have initiated with their Somali and minority constituents. somalis-malmö_incover-publish-2014-0120_publish.qxd 2014.01.21. 22:27 Page 1 Somalis in Malmö At Home in Europe somalis-malmö_incover-publish-2014-0120_publish.qxd 2014.01.21. 22:27 Page 2 ©2014 Open Society Foundations This publication is available as a pdf on the Open Society Foundations website under a Creative Commons license that allows copying and distributing the publication, only in its entirety, as long as it is attributed to the Open Society Foundations and used for noncommercial educational or public policy purposes.

  • Sweden Manual
    Communicating Europe: Sweden Manual Information and contacts on the Swedish debate on EU enlargement in the Western Balkans Supported by the Strategic Programme Fund of the UK Foreign & Commonwealth Office 2 Communicating Europe: Sweden Manual ABOUT THIS MANUAL Who shapes the debate on the future of EU enlargement in Sweden today as the country takes over the EU Presidency in July 2009? This manual aims to provide an overview by introducing the key people and key institutions. It starts with a summary of core facts about Sweden. It looks at the packed timetable of the Swedish EU Presidency and the many issues on its agenda – including EU enlargement and visa liberalisation for the Western Balkan states. As background to one of the most intensive EU presidencies in recent years the manual describes the Swedish scene; the most important interest groups, the key government institutions, the current government, parliament and the main political parties and the key think-tanks. It looks at the country‟s mix of economic liberalism and welfare policies. It offers an overview of the policy debates on the EU, on future enlargement and the Western Balkans. Space is also given to the media landscape; TV, radio and print media and the internet-based media. As the British academic Timothy Garton Ash has recently written: “Talking here to a leading figure in the upcoming Swedish presidency of the EU, one understands what a hectic circus it will be in the last few months of 2009.” Prime Minister Fredrik Reinfeldt has commented on the government‟s intensive presidency planning: “Sometimes things turn out like the John Lennon song: „Life is what happens to you while you are busy making other plans‟.” The prime minister added: “Planning is important, but things seldom turn out the way you intended.” Any debate in a vibrant democracy is characterised by a range of views.

  • Nyamko Sabuni +46 8 405 10 00
    2011 Press release 21 September 2011 Ministry of Education and Research Major investments in education in the Budget Bill The Budget Bill contains major investments in education. These include a maths boost with continuing professional development for teachers, a teacher reform with career stages for good teachers, a quality drive in humanities and social sciences at higher education institutions, and more places on training programmes for doctors, dentists and nurses. More places will also be available on Master of Science in Engineering programmes. Below is a description of the most important reforms in the area of education in this autumn's budget. Higher status for the teaching profession and improved skills in schools To break the downward trend in learning outcomes among Swedish pupils, it is necessary to strengthen teachers' skills and the status of the teaching profession. In the Budget Bill, SEK 3.8 billion has been allocated for the years 2012-2015 to strengthen teachers' skills and raise the status of the teaching profession. Career development reform The Government is allocating funds for a career development reform, with advancement stages for professionally skilled teachers in compulsory and upper secondary school. The advancement stages, together with any qualifications required, will be described in the Education Act. Salaries and terms of employment will be set by the parties in the usual way. The state will cover the costs incurred by education authorities through the reform in the form of government grants. Boost for Teachers II Boost for Teachers II is being introduced. This is an investment in continuing professional development, which will mean that teachers who have accreditation but are not qualified in one of the subjects or for one of the year groups they teach will be offered education to meet the qualification requirements.
