  • Partisan Influence on Immigration: the Case of Norway
    ISSN 0080–6757 Doi: 10.1111/j.1467-9477.2010.00250.x © 2010 The Author(s) Journal compilation © 2010 Nordic Political Science Association Partisan Influence on Immigration: The Case of Norwayscps_250 248..270 Frøy Gudbrandsen* Do governments decide the size of immigration? This article analyses partisan impact on refugee immigration to Norway.The first part maps party positions on refugee immigration and demonstrates that the views of Norwegian parties are far from consensual. The second part tests whether the number of refugees admitted has been affected by changes of government by way of a panel analysis covering the period 1985–2005 and 143 sending countries. Controlling for other determinants of immigration both in receiving and sending countries, the analysis suggests that that the number of refugees admitted to Norway has been significantly lower during Conservative rule. Among parties with government experience, the Conservative Party also has adopted the most restrictive stand in its manifestoes. No significant differences between Labour Party and centre governments were found, even though the centre parties express more liberal preferences. The partisan influence on immigration remains uncertain. Scholars come to diverging conclusions, both on the validity of the partisan theory in general (see, e.g., Blais et al. 1993; Imbeau et al. 2001) and on states’ capacity to control immigration (see, e.g., Sassen, 1996, 2000; Guiraudon & Lahav 2000). Although some studies reject a partisan effect on national economic indicators, many find strong empirical support for the hypoth- esis (e.g., Huber & Stephens 2000; Cusack 1997; Reed 2006; Pettersson- Lidbom 2004). Yet what about immigration? Do governments control it, or is it determined entirely by external determinants? Not only scholars, but politicians, too, disagree on their influence on immigration.

  • Public Opposition to Wind Power Projects in Norway
    Public opposition to wind power projects in Norway MEEMAS Master thesis Energy, environment and society University of Stavanger 2020 Maren Benedikte Omholt 1 UNIVERSITY OF STAVANGER MASTER DEGREE IN Energy, Environment and Society MASTER THESIS CANDIDATE NUMBER: 5652 SEMESTER: Spring 2020 AUTHOR: Maren Benedikte Omholt SUPERVISOR: Reidar Staupe Delgado MASTER THESIS TITLE: Public opposition to wind power projects in Norway SUBJECT WORDS/KEY WORDS: Wind power, renewable energy, Frøya, Vardafjell, Kvitfjell, Raudfjell PAGE NUMBERS: 56 STAVANGER 30.08.20202 ………………………………………………. DATE/YEAR 2 Acknowledgements This thesis marks the conclusion of my master’s degree in energy, environment and society at the University of Stavanger. The original plan for this thesis was to do a field study that was interview based, while focusing only on one wind farm, and supplement this with secondary sources. However, due to the Covid-19 pandemic, this made it difficult to go through with. The solution was then to change the methods of the thesis from an interview based field study, to a case study where the sources that are being looked at are online based, while at the same time being secondary sources that shed light into the ways in which demonstrators are feeling and experiencing the build- ings of wind farms. I would like to thank my supervisor Reidar Staupe Delgado for helping me by giving me tips as well as constructive criticism which helped me a lot within the writing process. I would also like to thank my friends and family for keeping me motivated throughout the process. 3 Abstract The wind power debate is ongoing in Norway with many different opinions regarding the issue.

Samla avisopplag i 2011 var på 2,5 millionar, ein nedgang på 71 000, eller 2,8 prosent frå året før. Frå 2009 til 2010 var fallet noko større, 3,3 prosent. 2011 er det tolvte året på rad med nedgang, og samla nedgang sidan 1998 er 21 prosent (Høst 2012). Sjølv om avisopplaga fell, er det likevel verdt å merke seg at talet på aviser har vore nokolunde stabilt dei siste åra. Ved utgangen av 2011 var det 228 aviser i Noreg. Dette er to aviser fleire enn i 2010. Nesten alle kategoriar aviser har hatt fall i opplagstala, bortsett frå riksspreidde meiningsbêrande aviser og nasjonale fådagarsaviser. Dei fleste åra sidan 2005 har laussalsavisene vore dei store taparane. Samla opplagstal for dei to laussalsavisene i Noreg, Verdens Gang og Dagbladet, var 311 000 i 2011. Samanlikna med 2010 er det ein nedgang på 20 000, eller 6 prosent. Sidan 2005 er opplagstalet for laussalsavisene redusert med nesten 39 prosent. Sjå tabell 12.4. Figur 12.1. Aviser.

  • The Norwegian Progress Party: an Established Populist Party Johan Bjerkem
    EUROPeAN VIeW DOI 10.1007/s12290-016-0404-8 ARTICLE The Norwegian Progress Party: an established populist party Johan Bjerkem © The Author(s) 2016. This article is published with open access at Springerlink.com Abstract This article sheds light on one of Europe’s successful right-wing populist parties, the Norwegian Progress Party. Since 2013 the party has been in a coalition with the Conservative Party. The history, ideology and position of the party in the Norwegian political system are factors that explain how a centre–right party and a populist one have been able to form a viable coalition. Over time the Progress Party has become increasingly well integrated into the political system. The fact that no cordon sanitaire or total boycott policy was implemented against it may explain why the party developed a more moderate and pragmatic approach than most other right-wing populist parties. In turn, this made it possible for the Conservative Party to offer to form a coalition with the Progress Party and placed the centre–right in the strategic position of cooperating with parties both in the centre and to the right. Keywords Populism | Right-wing politics | Political parties | Centre–right | Norway | The Progress Party J. Bjerkem (*) Wilfried Martens Centre for European Studies, Rue du Commerce 20, 1000 Brussels, Belgium e-mail: [email protected] 1 3 EUROPEAN VIEW Introduction The Norwegian Progress Party is an example of a successful European populist party which has not only gained seats in parliament, but has also become a governing party. Established in the early 1970s, mainly as an anti-tax protest party, it transformed into an anti-immigration and anti-establishment party in the 1980s, before positioning itself as one of the main political forces in Norway.

  • Norwegian Euroscepticism Revisited. the Gap Between Policy and Practice
    NORWEGIAN EUROSCEPTICISM REVISITED. THE GAP BETWEEN POLICY AND PRACTICE LISE RYE Norway has a reputation for being Eurosceptic. It earned this reputation for hav- ing rejected membership of the European Union (EU) on two separate occasions. Both rejections followed advisory referenda where a small majority had voted down the government’s negotiations with the EU: In September 1972, 53.5% voted against joining the then European Community (EC), and in November 1994, 52.2% opposed the Norwegian EU accession. This makes Norway the only country which rejected an offer to partake in the European integration project on two separate occasions. Previous research has highlighted the reasons for Nor- way’s reluctance to join the EU. While rationalists emphasize the characteristics of the country’s industrial structure1, constructivists draw the attention to aspects related to identity2 and values.3 This chapter’s point of departure is that Norway, alongside its refusal to join the EU’s political unification project, is the EU’s most integrated outsider.4 This current but less known position is the result of an economic integration process between Norway and the EC that goes back to 1973. In an attempt to compensate for the failed attempt to enter the EC together with Denmark and the United Kingdom in the early 1970s, the Norwegian governments engaged in a political process aiming at formalizing and then gradually extending relations between the remaining members of the European Free Trade Association (EFTA) and the EC.5 This process entered a new and more dynamic phase with the 1994 com- mencement of the Agreement on the European Economic Area (EEA), which in- stitutionalized Norway’s relations with the EU and extended them to new policy areas.6 Norway’s continuous quest for ever-closer relations with the EU nuances its image as a Eurosceptic country and calls for closer examination of its multi- faceted relation with Europe.

In his speech at the national commemorative day on 22 August, one month after the tragedy, H M King Harald emphasized the importance of our basic values: “I stand fast to my belief that freedom is stronger than fear. I stand fast to my belief in an open Norwegian democracy and civic life. And I stand fast to my belief in our opportunities for living freely and safely in our own country.” A prerequisite for these values to prevail is a free press. Tinius Nagell-Erichsen, who established the Trust in May 1996, emphasized the importance of working for the freedom of speech and a free press as an essential safeguard for an active democracy. Securing these values is a task the Trust carrying his name is taking very seriously. In the media world of today, this challenge is greater than ever. It requires that we protect principles like freedom of faith, tolerance, human rights and democratic principles, just those values which were challenged by the events on 22 July 2011.
