Befolkning Og Valg Befolkning og valg Afsnittet omfatter oplysninger om Danmarks areal og administrative inddeling samt om klima- og miljøforhold, befolkning og valg. Materialets omfang og gruppering Areal Danmarks areal er opgjortuden Grønland og Færøerne. Landets geografiske inddeling om- fatterlandsdele ogbeboede øer. Denadministrative inddeling omfatterkommunerog amter på grundlag af kommunalreformen fra 1970. Klima Oplysninger om klimaforhold omfatter gennemsnitstal for temperatur, nedbør, solskin og vindforhold m . m. i hver af årets måneder, samt om graddage. Miljø Miljøforhold er søgt belyst ved foreliggende oplysninger om luft, vand, affald, genbrug og brugen al bekæmpelsesmidler. Befolkningen Folketallet angiver befolkningen i Danmark uden Grønland og Færøerne. Det samlede fol- ketal blev fra 1769 til og med 1970 opgjort ved de periodiske folketællinger, efter århundre- deskiftet hvert femte år, baseret på spørgeskemaer til befolkningen. Folke- og boligtæl- ungerne 1976 og 1981 er gennemført på grundlag af oplysninger fra en række administrative registre. Den løbende statistik om befolkningen og dens sammensætning 1. januar og bevægelserne i løbetafåret (bl.a. omfødsler, dødsfaldogvandringer) udarbejdes på grundlagafdetcentrale personregister (CPR) samt fødsels- og dødsattesterne. Opgørelserne vedrører personer, familier og husstande og omfatter i alle tilfælde hele den bosiddende befolkning i Danmark. Der udarbejdes årligt befolkningsfremskrivninger medudgangspunkti den seneste befolk- ningsopgørelse og under hensyn til den hidtidige udvikling i fertiitet, dødelighed og van- dringer. Boligforhold Opgørelserne al befolkningens boligforhold er baseret på udtræk fra de to administrative registre, bygnings- og boligregisteret (BBR) og det centrale personregister (CPR). Op- gørelsen er siden 1980 foretaget årligt 1. januar for hele landet. Valg De vaigstatistiske oplysninger omfatter antal stemmeberettigede, afgivne stemmer ved afholdte valg til Folketing, amtskommunale råd, kommunale råd samt ved folkeafstemnin- ger og valg til Europa-parlamentet. Valg til Folketinget samt opgørelser over folke afstem- ninger omfatter også Grønland og Færøerne.

  • DENMARK Dates of Elections: 8 September 1987 10 May 1988
    DENMARK Dates of Elections: 8 September 1987 10 May 1988 Purpose of Elections 8 September 1987: Elections were held for all the seats in Parliament following premature dissolution of this body on 18 August 1987. Since general elections had previously been held in January 1984, they would not normally have been due until January 1988. 10 May 1988: Elections were held for all the seats in Parliament following premature dissolution of this body in April 1988. Characteristics of Parliament The unicameral Parliament of Denmark, the Folketing, is composed of 179 members elected for 4 years. Of this total, 2 are elected in the Faeroe Islands and 2 in Greenland. Electoral System The right to vote in a Folketing election is held by every Danish citizen of at least 18 years of age whose permanent residence is in Denmark, provided that he has not been declared insane. Electoral registers are compiled on the basis of the Central Register of Persons (com­ puterized) and revised continuously. Voting is not compulsory. Any qualified elector is eligible for membership of Parliament unless he has been convic­ ted "of an act which in the eyes of the public makes him unworthy of being a member of the Folketing". Any elector can contest an election if his nomination is supported by at least 25 electors of his constituency. No monetary deposit is required. Each candidate must declare whether he will stand for a certain party or as an independent. For electoral purposes, metropolitan Denmark (excluding Greenland and the Faeroe Islands) is divided into three areas - Greater Copenhagen, Jutland and the Islands.

An international comparison” di- rected by Klaus Armingeon and funded by the Swiss National Science Foundation. This data set consists of (mostly) annual data for 23 democratic countries for the period of 1960 to 2012. In the cases of Greece, Spain and Portugal, political data were collected only for the democratic periods1. The data set is suited for cross national, longitudinal and pooled time series analyses. The data set contains some additional demographic, socio- and economic variables. Howev- er, these variables are not the major concern of the project and are thus limited in scope. For more in-depth sources of these data, see the online databases of the OECD. For trade union membership, excellent data for European trade unions are available on CD from the Data Handbook by Bernhard Ebbinghaus and Jelle Visser (2000). A few variables have been copied from a data set collected by Evelyne Huber, Charles Ragin, John D. Stephens, David Brady and Jason Beckfield (2004).

  • Challenger Party List
    Appendix List of Challenger Parties Operationalization of Challenger Parties A party is considered a challenger party if in any given year it has not been a member of a central government after 1930. A party is considered a dominant party if in any given year it has been part of a central government after 1930. Only parties with ministers in cabinet are considered to be members of a central government. A party ceases to be a challenger party once it enters central government (in the election immediately preceding entry into office, it is classified as a challenger party). Participation in a national war/crisis cabinets and national unity governments (e.g., Communists in France’s provisional government) does not in itself qualify a party as a dominant party. A dominant party will continue to be considered a dominant party after merging with a challenger party, but a party will be considered a challenger party if it splits from a dominant party. Using this definition, the following parties were challenger parties in Western Europe in the period under investigation (1950–2017). The parties that became dominant parties during the period are indicated with an asterisk.

  • Class Cleavage Roots and Left Electoral Mobilization in Western Europe ONLINE APPENDIX
    Lost in translation? Class cleavage roots and left electoral mobilization in Western Europe ONLINE APPENDIX Parties in the Class bloc For the classification of political parties in the class bloc, we have included “those parties which are the historical product of the structuring of the working-class movement” (Bartolini and Mair 1990 [2007], 46). Moreover, as the class cleavage is not only a historical product but a dynamic concept, we have also carefully assessed the potential inclusion of all those parties that are: 1) direct successors of traditional working-class parties or 2) new parties emphasizing traditional left issues. As regards direct successors of traditional working-class parties, issues related to party continuity and change across time arise. Class bloc parties changing name or symbol, merging or forming joint lists with other class bloc parties are obviously included in the Class Bloc. Conversely, in the case of splits or in the case of mergers between a class bloc party and a non-class bloc party, choices become less straightforward. Generally speaking, we looked at the splinter party and included it in the Class bloc whenever it still maintained a clear communist, socialist, or social democratic programmatic profile (e.g., the case of Communist Refoundation Party in Italy in 1992). Conversely, “right-wing” splits from Social democratic parties (e.g., the Centre Democrats from the Social Democratic Party in Denmark in 1973) that have explicitly abandoned their former ideological references to social democracy, shifting their programmatic focus away from economic left issues and embracing liberal, radical, green, or “new politics” ideological profiles, have been generally excluded from the Class Bloc.

An international comparison” directed by Klaus Armingeon and funded by the Swiss National Science Foundation. This data set consists of (mostly) annual data for 36 democratic OECD and/or EU-member coun- tries for the period of 1960 to 2013. In all countries, political data were collected only for the democratic periods.1 The data set is suited for cross-national, longitudinal and pooled time- series analyses. The present data set combines and replaces the earlier versions “Comparative Political Data Set I” (data for 23 OECD countries from 1960 onwards) and the “Comparative Political Data Set III” (data for 36 OECD and/or EU member states from 1990 onwards). A variable has been added to identify former CPDS I countries. For additional detailed information on the composition of government in the 36 countries, please consult the “Supplement to the Comparative Political Data Set – Government Com- position 1960-2013”, available on the CPDS website. The Comparative Political Data Set contains some additional demographic, socio- and eco- nomic variables. However, these variables are not the major concern of the project and are thus limited in scope. For more in-depth sources of these data, see the online databases of the OECD, Eurostat or AMECO.

  • Electoral Politics, Party Performance, and Governance in Greenland: Parties, Personalities, and Cleavages in an Autonomous Subnational Island Jurisdiction
    Island Studies Journal, 16(1), 2021, 343-372 Electoral politics, party performance, and governance in Greenland: Parties, personalities, and cleavages in an autonomous subnational island jurisdiction Yi Zhang School of Public Administration, Jilin University, China [email protected] Xinyuan Wei School of Public Administration, South China University of Technology, Guangzhou, China [email protected] (corresponding author) Adam Grydehøj Research Center for Indian Ocean Island Countries, South China University of Technology, Guangzhou, China [email protected] Abstract: Greenland is a strongly autonomous subnational island jurisdiction (SNIJ) within the Kingdom of Denmark. This paper takes its point of departure in studies of politics in small island territories to ask to what extent Greenland matches findings from other small island states and SNIJs in terms of personalisation of politics, party performance, and political cleavages that do not follow left-right divides. Even though Greenland possesses a strongly multiparty system, supported by elections involving party-list proportional representation within a single multimember constituency, a single political party, Siumut, has led the government for all but a brief period since the advent of Greenlandic autonomy in 1979. By considering Greenland’s political ecosystem, spatially and personally conditioned aspects of voter behaviour, and coalition-building processes, paying particular attention to the 24 April 2018 parliamentary elections, we argue that it is inappropriate to study Greenland as a monolithic political unit or to draw oversimplified analogies with party politics from large state Western liberal democracies. Instead, Greenlandic politics must be understood in relation to the island territory’s particular historical, geographical, and societal characteristics as well as its electoral system.
