Acknowledgements Acknowledgements I am indebted to several people for their generous support and advice during the research and completion of this thesis. I would like to thank Dr Paul Taylor for his supervision and valuable comments throughout my research on Denmark and the European Community, and Professor Helen Wallace for having lit my interest in academic work and the process of European integration some years ago in Bruges and having enhanced it during my work for her at the Royal Institute of International Affairs as well as for her clear-sighted views and advice. My very warm thanks to Christian Thune, who, in his position as Director of the Danish Institute of Foreign Affairs, made it possible for me to spend two invaluable periods in Copenhagen to conduct the field research on which the thesis's empirical part is based. My sincere thanks also to academics, officials and politicians in Copenhagen, Arhus and Brussels who shared with me their insight into and knowledge of Denmark's EC policy and its relationship with European Union. My family, in particular my parents in Sweden and my husband Christoph, deserve my most sincere appreciation, because without their patient support this thesis would never have been undertaken, let alone finalized.

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106-1346 ( f+£S£S F 7 Z0 103-A 76 2 & A reluctant partner: the pattern of Denmark's involvement in the European Community Denmark joined the European Community (EC) on 1 January 1973 together with the United Kingdom and Ireland. Its relationship with the EC has since then been uneasy, culminating with the popular vote against the Maastricht Treaty in June 1992 which threatened for a moment to halt the European integration process. Although Denmark's uneasy relationship with the Community has been noted by external observers, the reasons behind its reluctance towards European integration are not widely understood. The aim of this thesis is to explain the pattern of Denmark's involvement in the EC during three crucial periods in the evolution of the Community by analysing Denmark's adaptation to EC membership and response to the developments in the process of European integration. The thesis's theoretical framework combines the concept of acquis communautaire with the four basic elements of the theory of International Regimes - principles, norms, rules and decision-making procedures. These four basic elements are used to analyse Denmark's compliance with the rights and obligations of EC membership defined as the 'regime contract'. The concept of an integration dilemma serves to help to examine Denmark's attempts at balancing through a set of strategies, the external and internal pressures stemming from the process of integration. The empirical part of the thesis focuses on three episodes in Denmark's EC membership: the accession to the EC, the relaunch of the Community leading to the signing of the Single European Act and the negotiations and ratification of the Maastricht Treaty. The main conclusion of the thesis is that Denmark has been a reluctant partner in the European integration process mainly because of its difficulties to embrace the principles of the 'Community regime'. This reluctance towards the principles of European integration has conditioned Denmark's pattern of involvement in the EC and influenced its behaviour as a member of the EC. 2 Table of contents Acknowledgements Abstract p. 2 Chapter 1.

The Dutch government, which heads the Coun­ cil for the rest of this year, hopes that the ministers will be able to find political solutions to legal issues that the Council's working party so far has failed to re­ solve at its weekly meetings. But Community officials are increasingly doubtful whether the problems can be solved hy the end of 1976, the deadline for implementing the proposed system for the 1978 Connnunity Budget. In 1973 the Europe?n Commission had proposed harmoni­ zation of the VAT base in order to facilitate calculation of part of the Community Budget starting in '78 (Common Market Reports, Par. 3165). This proposal followed up on the Council's 1970 decision that the contributions to the Budget now derived from agricultural levies and customs du­ ties should be augmented as of 1979 by national VAT revenue obtained by applying a rate not exceeding 1% on a uniform assessment base.

    Codebook InDivEU – party preferences European University Institute, Robert Schuman Centre for Advanced Studies December 2020 Introduction The “InDivEU – party preferences” dataset provides data on the positions of more than 400 parties from 28 countries1 on questions of (differentiated) European integration. The dataset comprises a selection of party positions taken from two existing datasets: (1) The EU Profiler/euandi Trend File The EU Profiler/euandi Trend File contains party positions for three rounds of European Parliament elections (2009, 2014, and 2019). Party positions were determined in an iterative process of party self-placement and expert judgement. For more information: https://cadmus.eui.eu/handle/1814/65944 (2) The Chapel Hill Expert Survey The Chapel Hill Expert Survey contains party positions for the national elections most closely corresponding the European Parliament elections of 2009, 2014, 2019. Party positions were determined by expert judgement. For more information: https://www.chesdata.eu/ Three additional party positions, related to DI-specific questions, are included in the dataset. These positions were determined by experts involved in the 2019 edition of euandi after the elections took place. The inclusion of party positions in the “InDivEU – party preferences” is limited to the following issues: - General questions about the EU - Questions about EU policy - Questions about differentiated integration - Questions about party ideology 1 This includes all 27 member states of the European Union in 2020, plus the United Kingdom.

  • Power, Communication, and Politics in the Nordic Countries
    POWER, COMMUNICATION, AND POLITICS IN THE NORDIC COUNTRIES POWER, COMMUNICATION, POWER, COMMUNICATION, AND POLITICS IN THE NORDIC COUNTRIES The Nordic countries are stable democracies with solid infrastructures for political dia- logue and negotiations. However, both the “Nordic model” and Nordic media systems are under pressure as the conditions for political communication change – not least due to weakened political parties and the widespread use of digital communication media. In this anthology, the similarities and differences in political communication across the Nordic countries are studied. Traditional corporatist mechanisms in the Nordic countries are increasingly challenged by professionals, such as lobbyists, a development that has consequences for the processes and forms of political communication. Populist polit- ical parties have increased their media presence and political influence, whereas the news media have lost readers, viewers, listeners, and advertisers. These developments influence societal power relations and restructure the ways in which political actors • Edited by: Eli Skogerbø, Øyvind Ihlen, Nete Nørgaard Kristensen, & Lars Nord • Edited by: Eli Skogerbø, Øyvind Ihlen, Nete Nørgaard communicate about political issues. This book is a key reference for all who are interested in current trends and develop- ments in the Nordic countries. The editors, Eli Skogerbø, Øyvind Ihlen, Nete Nørgaard Kristensen, and Lars Nord, have published extensively on political communication, and the authors are all scholars based in the Nordic countries with specialist knowledge in their fields.
