Publikationer Statistisk Tiårsoversigt Befolkning og valg Afsnittet omfatter oplysninger om befolkning, boligforhold og valg. Materialets omfang og gruppering Befolkningen Folketallet angiver befolkningen i Danmark uden Grønland og Færøerne. Det samlede folketal blev fra :1769 til og med 1970 opgjort ved de periodiske folketællinger, efter århundredeskiftet hvert femte år, baseret på spørgeskemaer til befolkningen. Folke- og boligtællingerne 1976 og 1981 er gennemført på grundlag af oplysninger fra en række administrative registre. Den løbende statistik om befolkningen og dens sammensætning 1. januar og bevæ- gelserne i løbet af året (bl.a. fødsler, dødsfald og vandringer) udarbejdes på grundlag af det Centrale Personregister (CPR) samt fødsels- og dødsattesterne. Opgørelserne vedrører personer, familier og husstande og omfatter i alle tilfælde hele den bosiddende befolkning i Danmark. Der udarbejdes årligt befolkningsfremskrivninger med udgangspunkt i den seneste befolkningsopgørelse og under hensyn til den hidtidige udvikling i fertilitet, dødelighed og vandringer. Boligforhold Opgørelserne af befolkningens boligforhold er baseret på udtræk fra de to admini- strative registre, Bygnings- og Boligregisteret (BBR) og det Centrale Personregister (CPR). Opgørelsen er siden 1980 foretaget årligt 1. januar. Valg De valgstatistiske oplysninger omfatter antal stemmeberettigede og afgivne stemmer ved afholdte valg til Folketing, amtskommunale råd, kommunale råd, menighedsråd samt ved folkeafstemninger og valg til Europaparlamentet. Valg til Folketinget samt opgørelser over folkeafstemninger omfatter også Grønland og Færøerne. Definitioner og ordforklaringer Hvor intet andet er anført, omfatter opgørelserne Danmark uden Grønland og Fær- øerne.

AIDS Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (Erhvervet Immundefekt Syndrom) er slut- stadiet af HIV-infektionen. På dette stadium vil immunforsvaret fungere så dårligt, at en lang række sygdomme derfor vil kunne forekomme. Internationalt er opstillet kriterier for, hvilke sygdomme som er AIDS-definerende.

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.

The implications of the financial meltdown for labour markets and for sovereign debts have been immense, and, in turn, they have brought about changes in the EUs infrastructure and have deepened the commitment to European cooperation, such as the fiscal compact, the ESM and the European semester. At the same time, however, the effects of the crisis have been asymmetrically dispersed among - and within - the EU member states, where the ideas, realities and benefits of the EU are receiving new political and electoral focus. In this set of unusual circumstances, the perceptions and conceptualisations of European political cooperation may pass through periods of reaction, and possibly, more long-term changes in the definition of EU membership.

  • 1 Parties and the Challenge of Multi-Level Politics
    Notes 1 Parties and the Challenge of Multi-Level Politics 1. In this study, we use the customary abbreviations MP and MEP to mean member of (a national) parliament and member of the European Parliament, respectively. The term ‘parliamentarian’ we use as a synonym for both MP and MEP. 2. This reflection may well be far from exact, not least because the leaders of most governments in parliamentary systems are not elected by the parlia- ment, but rather tolerated by it. Müller, Bergman and Strøm’s (2003: 13) definition of parliamentarism, which we accept, is ‘a system of government in which the Prime Minister and his or her cabinet are accountable to any majority of the members of parliament and can be voted out of office by the latter’ (emphasis removed). 3. Since the Treaty of Lisbon came into force at the end of 2009, a legal mechanism has existed by which a state can, in principle, leave the Union. Greenland, an autonomous part of the Danish state, became the only territory to leave the EU, in 1985, after a referendum three years previously. 4. Hurrelman and DeBardeleben (2009: 231–2) discuss a third, ‘supplementary’ and ‘transnational’ channel of EU democracy, in which civil-society organi- sations communicate with, primarily, the European Commission. This is an interesting perspective, but we will leave it there, due to the weak presence of political parties in this channel. 5. The arguments in this paragraph are associated with the ‘standard version’ of the democratic deficit as summarised by Follesdal and Hix (2006: 534–7).

    Narrating Violent Crime and Negotiating Germanness: The Print News Media and the National Socialist Underground (NSU), 2000-2012 by JOSEFIN GRAEF A thesis submitted to the University of Birmingham for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Department of Political Science and International Studies (POLSIS) School of Government and Society College of Social Sciences University of Birmingham October 2016 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties.

ABSTRACT This thesis examines how the German print news media negotiate notions of Germanness by narrating the acts of violent crime committed by the right-wing extremist group National Socialist Underground (NSU) between 2000 and 2011. Combining Paul Ricœur’s textual hermeneutics with insights from narrative criminology as well as violence and narrative media studies, I approach the NSU as a narrative puzzle. I thereby investigate how the media narrate a murder series of nine men with a migration background, a nail bomb attack in a Turkish-dominated street and an (attempted) murder of two police officers. I compare the narratives constructed both before and after the identification of the perpetrators in November 2011.

    fifteen into one art 19/11/2002 9:14 am Page 1 EPRU Fifteen into one European Series Fifteen into one? Policy The European Union and its member states Research Unit Series The European Union and the roles of member states is one of the major topics of political debate and academic discourse. The evolution of the political system in Brussels and the developments within the individual member states promise new insights into the European integration process. This book provides a country-by- Fifteen country analysis of how European policy is made and applied in the member states. Its central focus is the involvement of national institutions in European policy-making: governments, parliaments, sub-national governments, the courts and public administrations. Who participates at which stages of the European Union’s policy cycle and how do national institutions and non-state actors interact into one? and fit into the Union’s system? The contributors show how member states have adapted their institutional structures in different ways to European integration, especially since the Maastricht The European Treaty. The editors argue that the extent and intensity of institutional interaction between the EU and its member states have led to a ‘system of institutional fusion’.

    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.

  • Experiences from Denmark
    NATIONAL FOCUS 113 Experiences from Denmark Britta Thomsen Since June 2019, Denmark has had a minority Social Democratic government, after almost 20 years of liberal/conservative governments that were supported by the nationalistic Danish People’s Party. The only interruption during those 20 years was a Social Democratic coalition government from 2011 to 2015. This article gives a short presentation of the historic back- ground of the Nordic welfare state since 1960 and the politics that are the precursors of the new ideas of the Danish Social Democratic Party, the current government, and the party leader Mette Frederiksen. The Covid-19 crisis has affected the political environment in Denmark like in other countries and this article explains some of the initiatives that were taken. It is clear that the Danish welfare state played a key role in managing the Covid-19 crisis in Denmark. This article also explains how Danish EU politics have developed and why the Danish trade unions and most political parties are fi ghting so strongly against the EU directive to establish a minimum wage. Finally, some lessons from the Danish example will be drawn. Historical background The Nordic Social Democratic parties’ visions for the welfare state became a reality during the golden age of the post-war western economies in the 1960s. In 1960, the Danish Social Democratic Party won a landslide victory with 42 per cent of the votes under the slogan ‘Make good times better’. It was its best result ever in the post-war era. Contrary to Sweden, Den- mark has always had several strong parties and the Social Democratic Party never had an ab- solute majority.

  • Sweden Manual
    Communicating Europe: Sweden Manual Information and contacts on the Swedish debate on EU enlargement in the Western Balkans Supported by the Strategic Programme Fund of the UK Foreign & Commonwealth Office 2 Communicating Europe: Sweden Manual ABOUT THIS MANUAL Who shapes the debate on the future of EU enlargement in Sweden today as the country takes over the EU Presidency in July 2009? This manual aims to provide an overview by introducing the key people and key institutions. It starts with a summary of core facts about Sweden. It looks at the packed timetable of the Swedish EU Presidency and the many issues on its agenda – including EU enlargement and visa liberalisation for the Western Balkan states. As background to one of the most intensive EU presidencies in recent years the manual describes the Swedish scene; the most important interest groups, the key government institutions, the current government, parliament and the main political parties and the key think-tanks. It looks at the country‟s mix of economic liberalism and welfare policies. It offers an overview of the policy debates on the EU, on future enlargement and the Western Balkans. Space is also given to the media landscape; TV, radio and print media and the internet-based media. As the British academic Timothy Garton Ash has recently written: “Talking here to a leading figure in the upcoming Swedish presidency of the EU, one understands what a hectic circus it will be in the last few months of 2009.” Prime Minister Fredrik Reinfeldt has commented on the government‟s intensive presidency planning: “Sometimes things turn out like the John Lennon song: „Life is what happens to you while you are busy making other plans‟.” The prime minister added: “Planning is important, but things seldom turn out the way you intended.” Any debate in a vibrant democracy is characterised by a range of views.
