At the same time, 43 per cent of industry’s total investment in research and development for the whole of Denmark and Sweden is placed in the region. Nevertheless, all signs are that it is not easy to turn these investments into innovation and commercial products, which is a general problem in Denmark and Sweden. 12 years after the opening of the Øresund Bridge, it is gratifying to note that a common Øresund regional iden- tity among the citizens of the region is growing.

Cornett* and Nils Karl Sørensen** ABSTRACT: The article aims to explain the different patterns of economic deve- lopment in Europe based on an assessment of regional and national performance with regard to innovation, entrepreneurship and difference in the industrial struc- ture. The central hypothesis of the paper is that large intra-regional disparities do not necessarily lead to lower economic growth on the national level than smaller disparities do. On the contrary, the polarization of economic activities can lead to excess growth in some cases, and contribute to a process of convergence between nations. To address the mechanisms behind this process, the long run patterns of convergence and disparities in regional economic performance with regard to GDP and the distri- bution of employment are analyzed on the regional and the national level for selected European countries.

  • How Do Local Politicians Perceive Party Conflicts? Effects of Power, Trust and Ideology
    How do local politicians perceive party conflicts? Effects of power, trust and ideology Paper prepared for presentation at NORKOM XXVI, Reykjavík 1 – 2 Dec 2017 First draft – do not cite Louise Skoog and David Karlsson School of Public Administration University of Gothenburg Abstract This study reveals how politicians’ conflict perceptions could be affected by ideology, power, and trust: socialists tend to perceive political dissent as higher while politicians who have higher levels of generalized and specified political trust perceive the level of antagonistic behaviour as lower. Influential politicians tend to perceive levels of both forms of conflict as lower. More insights about how and why political actors perceive the same situation differently could potentially foster a greater understanding – a political empathy – among political combatants that may facilitate their interactions. And in turn, increased empathy may generate a mutual political trust, which could further reduce the perception of potentially damaging conflicts such as antagonistic behaviour. The study builds on data from a survey conducted among all councillors in the 290 municipalities in Sweden. 1. Introduction Political work consists of collective processes, where politicians handle political conflicts, interact with representatives from both their own political party and from others, respond to positions and views of other actors. And how political actors perceive actions and positions of others will in turn affect their ability to cooperate (Balliet & Van Lange, 2013; De Swaan & Rapoport, 1973), develop potential strategies, and make decisions regarding future policies. In order to facilitate a functioning democracy, more knowledge is needed on how elected officials perceive the situation they are in.

  • Strategic Energy Planning in Denmark at Municipal And
    STRATEGIC ENERGY PLANNING IN DENMARK AT MUNICIPAL AND REGIONAL LEVEL STRATEGIC ENERGY PLANNING IN DENMARK AT MUNICIPAL AND REGIONAL LEVEL STRATEGIC ENERGY PLANNING IN DENMARK AT MUNICIPAL AND REGIONAL LEVEL STRATEGIC ENERGY PLANNING IN DENMARK AT MUNICIPAL AND REGIONAL LEVEL STRATEGIC ENERGY PLANNING IN DENMARK AT MUNICIPAL AND REGIONAL LEVEL The Danish government’s long-term vision is that Denmark becomes independent of fossil fuels. Municipalities have the local knowledge that can ensure political anchoring and commitment from citizens and local businesses to the green transition of the energy system and the economy. In their capacity as local planning and land-use authority, as owner of supply and transport companies, and as a major consumer, the municipalities are in a unique position to facilitate change. A program with 3.3 mill. EUR was launched in 2014 to support municipal strategic energy planning, providing a 50% grant for the projects. Strengthening partnerships: Cost-effective transition to green growth: • Vertically – state, region, municipality • Mapping energy efficiency and renewable energy resources • Horizontally – across municipalities • Analysing energy futures and strategic choices • Locally – businesses, supply companies, municipality • Setting targets and action plans • Internally – municipal administrations • Demonstrating green solutions • Democratically – citizens and interest organisations In total, 14 partnership projects for strategic energy planning were initiated with each their unique partnership structure and with each their individual energy perspective. The support program aimed at demonstrating different types of partnerships and tackle different aspects of a cost-effective transition to green growth. The 14 projects include 6 regional projects (in the five Danish regions) and 8 projects involving a smaller number of municipalities.

The idea for the project was developed in cooperation with senior researcher and head of Division Forest, Nature and Biomass Vivian Kvist Johannsen. The project is an addition to the limited empirical knowledge of the implementation of close-to-nature forest management in Denmark. Even though the project is produced for academic purposes, I believe that it will be of relevance to anyone with interest in state forest management in Denmark. Further, it is my hope that professionals working within state forest management in Denmark will find the results of this thesis enriching, and the methodological approach to the evaluation inspiring. I am thankful for the guidance and constructive feedback during the process provided by my supervisor Vivian Kvist Johannsen.

  • Populus Breeding: from the Classical to the Genomic Approach (Brian J
    Populus Breeding: From the Classical to the Genomic Approach (Brian J. Stanton, David B. Neale, and Shanwen Li - 2010) Populus Breeding: From the Classical to the Genomic Approach Brian J. Stanton, David B. Neale, and Shanwen Li Abstract Populus breeding is distinguished by a long history in forest tree improvement and its frequent dual reliance on inter-specific hybridization and vari- etal selection as the prominent domestication strategy. This chapter presents a review of the genecology and the principal long-term improvement approaches con- sidered in the manipulation of the genus’ key taxa, the pertinent experimental design features of worldwide varietal evaluation programs, and the current understanding of the morphological, physiological, and pathology components of yield and the physical and chemical components of wood quality. The chapter concludes with an assessment of the molecular tools being developed for an integrated translational genomics program to improve upon present breeding and selection methodologies. 1 Introduction Populus was the first woody perennial to gain recognition as a model for worldwide tree breeding programs because of the groundbreaking work in species hybridiza- tion, polyploid breeding, and investigations into pathogen resistance during the early part of the twentieth century (Pauley, 1949). More recently, the success that Populus clonal testing, selection, and deployment has achieved in boosting the trend toward worldwide varietal forestry over the last 20 years cannot be overestimated. Although tree improvement work in Populus may be surpassed in sophistication by today’s Pinus and Eucalyptus breeding programs, the model designation remains deserved in view of the sequencing of the Populus genome – the first of any tree in 2006 – and the subsequent investigations into genotype-phenotype associations.
