  • 'The Scandinavians at the Gates of Brussels' from <I>Vision</I>
    'The Scandinavians at the gates of Brussels' from Vision Caption: In April 1971, the Swiss monthly economic publication Vision paints a picture of the three Scandinavian countries which wish to become or are hesitant about becoming members of the European Economic Community (EEC). Source: Vision. The European Business Magazine. Dir. of publ. COVILLE, Christine; GORDEVITCH, Igor; NORALL, Frank; COLSON, Jean ; Editor HEYMANN, Philippe. April 1971, n° 5. Geneva: SEPEG. Copyright: (c) SEPEG URL: http://www.cvce.eu/obj/the_scandinavians_at_the_gates_of_brussels_from_vision-en-0520ab80-d121-4beb-a590- 2f7a10e296c2.html Publication date: 16/09/2012 1 / 6 16/09/2012 The Scandinavians at the gates of Brussels Denmark, Norway and Sweden are knocking at the doors of the EEC. The first two want full membership, the neutral Swedes are afraid of being left out in the cold once their EFTA partners are inside. While most Danes are for entry, many Norwegians are sceptical. They wonder what will happen to their farming and fisheries. And both countries are keen to preserve their own standards of social justice. The Swedes meanwhile want to be half in and half out. If it wants new members, the EEC will have to be flexible. Scandinavia exists. It's a fact which citizens of the EEC and of Britain or Ireland tend to forget when they talk of enlarging the Community. But two of the three Scandinavian countries, Norway and Denmark are candidates for membership, and their ties with the third, Sweden, weigh heavily on their minds as they negotiate. All three in turn have ties with Finland. And all four Nordic countries must take account of the Soviet Union, anxious as ever for the disunity of western Europe.

  • "Fordelingen Av Ministerposter I Norske Koalisjonsregjeringer"
    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).
