Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106-1346 ABSTRACT The aim of this study is to provide a theoretical and empirical explanation of the question: How do conflicts within a party affect its coalitional behaviour insofar as such conflicts may influence the bargaining power of party elites in the parliamentary arena? There are three major themes around which the theoretical explanation is organized. The first theme is that 'party institutionalization' and the nature of intra-party conflicts are important factors in shaping the ability of the party elites to neutralize internal conflicts. The second theme - a particular application of the first - is that the strength of a party in the parliamentary bargaining plane (i.e. its relative bargaining power) lies in its organization weakness. The third theme reveals that political parties, which are characterized by the existence of heterogeneous and diffused mechanisms for internal dissent, can handle internal conflicts in a variety of ways without forcing members to leave the party. Based upon a comparative analysis of intra-party conflicts and minority governments in Denmark, Norway, France, Italy and the U.K., the study suggests that weakly institutionalized parties can enter into conflict inducing coalition negotiations without risking their hold on their membership, whereas inter-party negotiations can lead to disintegration of highly institutionalized parties as members may be forced to leave the party as their primary mechanism for expression of discontent. A major implication of this study is that in multi-party systems in which minority situations occur, the most attractive strategy (i.e. in terms of bargaining power) for highly institutionalized parties occupying a governmental position is the formation of informal minority governments, whereas the most attractive strategy for weakly institutionalized parties is the formation of formal minority governments. ACKNOWLEDGMENT As perhaps befits an effort to bring together such diverse elements as theories of coalitional behaviour and intra-party politics, a simple paradox and party elites' interviews, this dissertation has been long in the making. In the course of writing it, I have enjoyed the stimulating environment of the Government Department at L.S.E., and have accumulated debts to a group of wonderful friends-teachers and teachers-friends. Over these years, I had the good fortune to enjoy the help, challenges and the converging or diverging comments of my supervisors, Gordon Smith and Howard Machin. In a very skillful way, they always knew how to interpret my broken English and how to gather meaningful insights from my thoughts and feelings. I was also fortunate to benefited from the criticism of Desmond King whose rigorous thinking contributed a solid foundation for this work. Numerous people read separate chapters or gave comments when I presented them in various conferences and informal forums: Lars Bille, Erik Damgaard, Gianfranco Pasquino, Gideon Doron, Angelo Panebianco, John Madeley, Hilmar Rommetvedt, Alan Beattie, Vincent Wright, Rob Elgie, Jan-Erik Lane, Knud Heidar, Lawrence Rose, Rosa Mule, Razin Sally and II Trevor Gunn. I am grateful to them for their advice and support. No less important was the role of friends and colleagues in taking care of the logistic aspects of the visits to five European capitals. I would like to thank Hadasa Bezalel, Birte and Erik Haagh, Henry Valen, Ole Andersen, Soren Villadsen and Geoffrey Pridham. I would like to acknowledge also the help of Valeria de Bonis, Giovanni Orsina, Anita Ferraro and Christina di Pietro who tirelessly translated hours of interviews. Their work greatly improved the quality of my dissertation. Michael Glass, A. J. Barnes, Mitza Edge and Simon Hix read what I had considered the final draft of the manuscript and persuade me that more iteration was necessary. The thesis was made possible by the joint financial support of Argov Fellowship, Overseas Research Studentships, The Central Research Fund of the University of London, Anglo- Jewish Association, Mr. Ian Karten and an anonymous Swiss fund. Didi, my closest friend, was a prime partner in this work. Her sharp intellect and emotional support were the key for making this dream come true.

  • Tony Greaves
    TONY GREAVES An Appreciation Liberal History Group by Michael Meadowcroft Tony Greaves never seemed to age. He had a firm belief that politics was capable of transforming society, and his consistent advocacy of local campaigning, community politics and the necessity for both to be anchored in a radical Liberalism had hardly changed from his Young Liberal days. His election to the Lancashire County Council, in 1973, disqualified him legally from his job teaching geography and from then on to his sudden death almost fifty years later he became one of that committed band of Liberals who put the cause before comfort and struggled to find a succession of jobs that would enable him to keep politics as his first priority. His life before politics captured him was that of a scholarship boy separated from his background by intelligence and an ability to pass exams. Born in Bradford into a family with no direct political involvement, he passed the extremely competitive examination for the direct-grant Bradford Grammar School, but an employment move by his police driving- instructor father took him instead to Queen Elizabeth Grammar School in Wakefield. His successes at ‘O’, ‘A’ and ‘S’ levels enabled him to go to Hertford College, Oxford, and to gain a BA in geography. He followed this with a Diploma in Economic Development at Manchester University. By this time, he had discovered a passion for politics and particularly for political debate. By personality – and influenced by the non-statist radicalism of the then party leader, Jo Grimond – Greaves naturally gravitated to the Liberal cause.

Justifications of deregulating financial markets in Norway and Finland Forfatter(e) Prosjektnummer Faglig ansvarlig sign. Pekka Sulkunen 11201014 Oppdragsgiver Norges Forskningsråd Sammendrag Rapporten dokumenter at dereguleringen av den norske og finske økonomien først og fremst handlet om politikk og politiske prosesser, og i liten grad begrunnet i økonomisk teori. Heller ikke neoliberal filosofi slik vi kjenner den fra USA og Storbritannia spilte noen stor rolle i de to landene. Isteden handlet det om forestillingen om, og fremveksten av, en ny type velferdsstat med behov for en moralsk legitimering av autonomi. Summary The report documents that the deregulation of the Norwegian and Finnish economy primarily was about politics and political processes, and to a much lesser extent about justifications rooted in economic theory. Nor neoliberal philosophy as we know it from the US and Britain played a major role in the two countries. Instead, it was about the notion, and the emergence of, a new kind of welfare state in need of a moral legitimization of autonomy.

  • Ihlen (2004) Rhetoric and Resources
    For my parents Abstract The aim of this dissertation is to discuss the influence that organizations have on public policies through their rhetoric and use of resources. The empirical focus is on public relations strategies regarding the public policy area on energy and the environment. Two case studies are conducted, centering on what have been the two most controversial environmental conflicts in Norway; the first concerns a hydroelectric development and the second relates to the building of gas-fired power plants. The environmentalists lost the first conflict, whereas the latter plants have still not been built. The theoretical starting point for the dissertation is within the realm of rhetorical studies of public relations, but it is argued that these studies have seldom contained specific suggestions for how to go about broad-based analyses. Furthermore, it is claimed that the studies have remained ontologically underdeveloped, which means that they do not offer analytical frameworks that make it possible to account adequately for organizational actors’ influence on, for instance, matters of public policy. The dissertation thus contains a suggestion for a heuristic analytical device drawing on a wide range of rhetorical concepts, combined with a sociological analysis of resources like economic capital, degree of institutionalization, knowledge, networks, and social standing. Historical reconstructions are made of the two cases. The research material is a sample of public relations material from the organizational actors, including brochures and advertisements, but also other texts, such as applications for building permits, and comments made to newspapers. Furthermore, qualitative interviews were conducted with representatives of the organizations involved.

    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by NORA - Norwegian Open Research Archives "Fordelingen av ministerposter i norske koalisjonsregjeringer" Sølvi Engebretsen Hovedoppgave i statsvitenskap Universitetet i Oslo 1 2 1.0. INNLEDNING 1.1. Tema og problemstilling Tema for oppgaven er fordelingen av ministerposter i koalisjonsregjeringer, og motivene som ligger bak disse fordelingene. Problemstillingen knytter seg til hvorvidt regjeringsmakt søkes for maktens egen skyld eller ut fra ønsket om å påvirke politikk i bestemte retninger - m.a.o. om partiene er maktsøkende eller policysøkende. Hvilke motiver som ligger til grunn for partiers atferd har nettopp vært det sentrale spørsmål innen koalisjonsteori. Spørsmålet er variasjoner over et gammelt tema innen statsvitenskap. For Aristoteles var politikk dels et mål i seg selv, men også en form for handling som, i likhet med etikk, bygget på kunnskap om hva som er til gode for fellesskapet. Mot dette synet står den realpolitiske retningen, blant klassikerne først og fremst representert ved Machiavelli. Her er politikk ensbetydende med kamp om posisjoner. Målet er å oppnå og beholde politisk makt - ikke “det gode liv” som hos Aristoteles. I nyere tids statsvitenskap har nok det realpolitiske synet på politikk hatt stor inn- flytelse. Rune Slagstad (1987) skriver om “realismens triumf i moderne retts- og stats- vitenskap”. Studiet av koalisjonsdannelser er intet unntak i så måte. Lenge forutsatte man at partienes motiver var ønsket om regjeringsmakt. Selv de som etterhvert har lagt vekt på forfølgelse av politiske mål som sentralt for partiers atferd, har typisk under- ordnet dette motivet i forhold til maktsøking (Budge og Laver 1986).
