  • ANNUAL REPORT 2015 Karen Helene Ulltveit-Moe B
    2015 ANNUAL REPORT NORGES BANK 200 years NORGES BANK’S BICENTENARY The two-year-old Storting (the Norwegian parliament) adopted an act to establish a central bank for the new nation of Norway in 1816. The first Norges Bank Act was sanctioned by the King on 14 June 1816. The bicentenary celebration is an opportunity for Norges Bank to open its doors, invite people in and reach out across the country to provide the public with deeper insight into its history and mission in society. SYMPOSIUM A Norges Bank symposium will be held to celebrate the Bank’s bicentenary: “The interaction between monetary policy and financial stability: going forward”. The symposium will focus on the lessons that can be drawn from the financial crisis – on the interaction between monetary policy and financial stability, experience and expectations of macroeconomic policy, and the scope for fine-tuning the financial sector. EDUCATION CENTRE An interactive education centre targeting school-age students will be opened at Norges Bank. With its interactive game “Horisont”, students will be set the task of building up an economy from scratch, from a barter economy to a modern monetary economy.

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.

Sandvika Telefon: +47 67 55 74 51 Fax: +47 67 55 74 50 Mail: [email protected] 2 Sammendrag og forord Utfra en historiefaglig synsvinkel beskriver og analyserer rapporten utvik- lingen av norsk samvirkebeskatning fra slutten av 1800-tallet og frem til en høyesterettsdom i 2001. Skattelovene av 1911 innebar at samvirkeforetak innen jordbrukssektoren og forbruksforeninger (kooperasjonen) ble under- lagt et særskilt skatteregime frem til skattereformen i 1992. Skatteregimet ble utvidet til fiskerisamvirke i 1931 og salgssamvirke i skogbruket i 1949. Skatteregimet innebar at samvirkeforetak innenfor disse sektorer ble prosent- lignet, ikke regnskapslignet som andre foretak. Prosentligningen innebar at skattbar inntekt ble fastsatt til en viss andel av samvirkeforetakets skattbare formue. Den særskilte skattleggingen av samvirke var motivert utfra et politisk ønske om å fremme organisasjonsformen innenfor utvalgte deler av økonomien på begynnelsen av 1900-tallet. Samtidig erkjente politikerne at ordinær regn- skapsligning ikke uten videre kunne benytte i skattleggingen av samvirke- foretak på grunn av organisasjonsformens særpreg.

    RAPPORT 2003:9 Nettversjon Det har siden starten av 1990-tallet funnet sted en sterk vekst både av antall treningssentre og av an- tallet som trener ved disse tilbudene. Det har fra ulike hold blitt uttrykt bekymring for hvilke konse- kvenser utviklingen vil ha for den frivillig organiserte idretten. Treningssentrenes befatning med barn, trenings- sentrenes innvirkning på dugnadsånden som domi- nerer den frivillig organiserte idretten, en eventuell flukt fra den frivillig organiserte til den kommersielt organiserte fysiske aktiviteten, og mulige helsemes- sige klasseskiller som følge av treningssentrenes høye treningsavgift, er noen av temaene som har skapt debatt gjennom mediene og i Norges Idrettsforbund. Denne debatten har bygget på spekulasjoner fremfor fakta, etter som en sammenlikning av fysisk aktivitet ved norske treningssentre og idrettslag ikke tidligere har vært gjennomført vitenskapelig. Siktemålet med denne rapporten er å bidra til frukt- bare diskusjoner med utgangspunkt i forsknings- basert kunnskap.

  • Crowning Moments: Transformative Populist Use of the Media and the Case of Carl I
    NORDICOM REVIEW Crowning Moments Transformative populist use of the media and the case of Carl I. Hagen Hilmar Mjelde Department of Information Science and Media Studies, University of Bergen, Norway Abstract This article presents the concept of a “crowning moment” and proposes an explanation for the media-savviness of many populist leaders – an under-theorised ability often referred to in existing research. A crowning moment is an instance in which populist leaders take advan- tage of opportunities that arise in their surroundings to achieve a or multiple major policy, political and/or personal goals through skilful use of the media that earns them recognition as savvy politicians. The concept is exemplified through an analysis of Norwegian Progress Party leader Carl I. Hagen’s role in the 1987 no-confidence motion against the Labour Party government. Stoking up and exploiting media interest in dramatic fashion, Hagen managed to redefine himself as a national political leader and made his party appear responsible. Keywords: crowning moment, populist use of the media, Carl I. Hagen, populism, strategi- cal media use Introduction Existing research finds, first, that the media facilitate populism, as there is overlap -be tween populist communication and media production styles (e.g. tabloidisation) (Blumler & Kavanagh, 1999; Esser et al., 2017; Mazzoleni, 2008, 2014; Manucci, 2017; Mudde, 2004). Second, the media-savviness of populist leaders such as Jörg Haider, Carl I. Hagen, Geert Wilders, Silvio Berlusconi, Marine Le Pen, Nigel Farage and Donald Trump is frequently cited as a key factor in their political rise, even though this ability has not been much theorised (Boczkowski & Papacharissi, 2018; Esser et al., 2017; Manucci, 2017; Mazzoleni, 2008, 2014).

Arbeidet med denne oppgaven har vært både utfordrende og lærerikt. Spesielt har arbeidet med arkivmaterialet vært interessant og bydd på flere utfordringer. Veien fra arkivmaterialet til den ferdige oppgaven har vært lang og krevende, og i den forbindelse er det flere personer jeg ønsker å takke. Først og fremst vil jeg takke veileder Even Lange for hjelp til strukturering av oppgaven og for gode råd og tilbakemeldinger på kapittelutkastene. Dette har vært spesielt viktige i den hektiske sluttfasen av arbeidet med oppgaven. Min oppgave har også vært skrevet i tilknytning til Forum for samtidshistories prosjekt "Høyres historie 1975-2005", og en stor takk rettes i den forbindelse til Hallvard Notaker. Han har vært til uvurderlig hjelp, både i skrivearbeidet og arbeidet med arkivmaterialet. Veiledningen har tidvis gått langt ut over vanlig kontortid, og jeg vil takke Notaker for hans tålmodighet i denne forbindelse. En stor takk rettes også til Høyre, Kristelig Folkeparti og Senterpartiet for innsyn i deres arkivmateriale. Videre rettes en takk til Høyres stortingsgruppe som har latt meg få komme og se på møtereferater, og til Riksarkivet og Stortingsarkivet for hjelp med å finne frem i arkivmaterialet. Til slutt vil jeg også takke venner og familie for støtte i de periodene hvor arbeidet med oppgaven har vært ekstra tungt.

Acknowledgements When I, as a student, was welcomed by the staff at Institutt for statsvitenskap (Department of political science, ISV) at the University of Oslo in 2003, I remember one the professors, Raino Malnes stressed – borrowing a quote from the famous English biologist Thomas Henry Huxley – that students in political science should ‘try to learn something about everything and everything about something’. Throughout my time as a student, I focused primarily on the first part of the advice. As a PhD student, however, I’ve tried to focus on the latter part by writing an in-depth analysis of the ideological and organizational development of one single party, namely Fremskrittspartiet (The Norwegian Progress Party, FrP). Whether or not I have succeeded is obviously up to the reader to decide. It wasn’t always supposed to be like this. For a long time I didn’t realize that writing (almost) everything about something was impossible without a very limited research question.

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.

Du har hatt en omfattende og mangfoldig politisk karriere, i tillegg til at du har gjort mange andre ting både før og under og etter din politiske karriere, og vi skal prøve å belyse flere spørsmål knyttet til dette i løpet av dagen. Og jeg tenkte at vi kunne begynne med å snakke litt om hvordan du kom inn i politikken. I det skriftlige materialet vi har, så ser vi at du begynner på lokalt nivå, og så kommer du inn på riksnivå etter hvert. Jeg lurte på om du kunne si litt om hvordan den veien var, og litt om overgangen fra lokalpolitikk og rikspolitikk, og – Wenche Frogn Sellæg: Min lokalpolitiske bakgrunn er jo temmelig tynn vil jeg si. Jeg er blitt valgt inn først i kommunestyret i Namsos, men jeg flyttet jo fra Namsos samme høst, så det medførte ett kommunestyremøte. Jeg var også leder av Namsos Høyre da, en veldig kort periode, flyttet ut til nabokommunen Overhalla, hvor jeg en periode satt som varamedlem til kommunestyret og møtte vel i to kommunestyremøter. Så på det lokale nivå så har jeg hatt relativt liten egen erfaring.

  • Hvordan Høyre Forholdt Seg Til Fremskrittspartiet 1973-1990
    Til høyre for Høyre - Hvordan Høyre forholdt seg til Fremskrittspartiet 1973-1990 Fredrik Bøyesen Larsen Masteroppgave ved IAKH UNIVERSITETET I OSLO Høsten 2015 II Til høyre for Høyre - Hvordan Høyre forholdt seg til Fremskrittspartiet 1973-1990 Fredrik Bøyesen Larsen Høsten 2015 III © Fredrik Bøyesen Larsen 2015 Til høyre for Høyre – Hvordan Høyre forholdt seg til Fremskrittspartiet 1973-1990 Fredrik Bøyesen Larsen http://www.duo.uio.no Trykk: Reprosentralen, Universitetet i Oslo IV Forord Norsk politisk historie har alltid vært min store interesse innenfor historiefaget, og spesielt hvordan de ulike partiene har forholdt seg til hverandre. Derfor var valget av tema på en måte lett da planleggingen av masteroppgaven begynte. Hvilke politiske aktører jeg skulle velge var på ingen måte gitt. Til slutt falt likevel valget på Fremskrittspartiet, først og fremst på grunn av dets fascinerende bakgrunnshistorie. Siden Fremskrittspartiet av mange blir regnet som et parti plassert på ytterste høyre fløy i norsk politikk, var det naturlig å se det i forhold til det partiet som tidligere hadde vært enerådende på høyresiden i norsk politikk, nemlig Høyre. Utgangspunktet for masteroppgaven ble hvordan Høyre forholdt seg til Fremskrittspartiet i perioden 1973-1990. Å få anledning til å undersøke de to partiene nærmere over en lengre periode har både vært interessant og givende. Resultatet foreligger her, og kan forhåpentligvis bidra til å belyse og nyansere temaet ytterligere. Forfatteren er ikke medlem av noe parti, og det har vært en målsetting å presentere historien objektivt, i den grad historieskrivning kan være objektiv. En stor takk til professor Even Lange for uvurderlig veiledning, råd og tips.

    ”How the hell can you tell?” Norske statsministres ettermæle fra Stang til Stoltenberg. Masteroppgave Christopher Nicolai Tønnessen Institutt for sammenliknende politikk Universitetet i Bergen Vår 2011 i Fe døyr, frendar døyr, ein sjølv med. Men godt, fortent ettermæle varer ved. - Håvamål. ii Abstract This thesis tries to uncover which factors predict the reputation of Norwegian prime ministers. This is done by applying an ordinary least square regression method with robust standard errors to data from the Prime Minister Inquiry 2010 ( Statsministerundersøkelsen 2010). In the inquiry, 54 historians, journalists and political scientists were asked to assess the performance of the Norwegian prime ministers from 1873 to the present on a scale from 1 to 6, with 6 being the highest score. Furthermore, the respondents answered some questions about themselves regarding their background. My thesis is divided into two parts. The first part focuses on identifying the factors that predict the reputation of the prime ministers, dividing the explanatory variables into groups of biographical, economic and institutional factors. The second part is a study of the respondents. Here, the background questions of the inquiry are used in order to find out whether the respondents’ backgrounds affect how their rating of the prime ministers. In the first part, several significant findings are presented. I find many significant variables. Four explanatory variables are found to have significant positive effect on the reputation of the prime minister: education on the master level , older prime ministers score better than younger prime ministers and months as prime minister . Moreover, four explanatory variables have negative effects on the way in which prime ministers are remembered: high unemployment rate , support in Parliament, political scandal and if the prime minister had a bad predecessor .
