  • Day by Day Summary of the Election Campaign
    Day by Day Summary of the Election Campaign Friday, 26 August It was Prime Minister Lars Løkke Rasmussen’s plan to introduce a bonus to people purchasing a house. This bonus has been criticized for artificially inflating house prices and therefore for being a bad way to instigate growth. On Saturday 20 August the Social Democrats (S) somehow learned about the plan and decided to launch it themselves, despite Helle Thorning-Schmidt having said on Friday that she did not want to introduce measures to stimulate the housing market. This led to a chaotic Saturday where Løkke Rasmussen and the Liberal Party (V) tried to do damage control. Quickly the Danish People’s Party (DF) declared their opposition to the plan due to a lot of their voters not being house owners. Liberal Alliance (LA) is as a general rule opposed to state subsidies so they were opposed as well leaving V and the Conservative Party (K) alone with the plan on the blue wing. On the red wing the situation was similar. S and the Socialist People’s Party (SF) agreed on the idea while the Unity List (EL) represents the left wing and therefore does not believe in the state funding those with the means to buy a house – plus a lot of their voters rent their homes. The Social Liberal Party (R) is opposed with the argument that the plan is a shortsighted one which will probably not do much for the economy anyway. Thus S-SF and VK were alone and they did not want to cooperate to get a majority for the plan.

  • Denmark's Fight Against Irrelevance, Or the Alliance Politics Of
    5 Denmark’s Fight Against Irrelevance, or the Alliance Politics of ‘Punching Above Your Weight’ Kristian Søby Kristensen & Kristian Knus Larsen At the official memorial service for Nelson Mandela on 13 December 2013, Roberto Schmidt, a photographer from Agence France-Presse (AFP), caught US President Barack Obama and UK Prime Minister David Cameron flanking Danish Prime Minister Helle Thorning-Schmidt while all three smiled and posed for a selfie. The picture immediately went viral and sparked global media debates ranging from how heads of state and government should behave at official events to whether Michelle Obama looked angry, jealous or just more interested in following the memorial service than in group selfies.1 In the context of Danish alliance politics, however, the symbolism of the picture carries more significant messages. In international relations, being positioned squarely and securely between the United States and the United Kingdom, and getting positive attention from both, to a large extent defines both the means and the ends of Danish security policy. Increasingly, and for the last decade or more, the core goals of Danish 1 As was the case, for instance, with UK newspaper the Guardian in which the selfie was ‘portrayed as a mark of disrespect’. See Judith Soal, ‘Barack Obama and David Cameron Pose for Selfie with Danish PM’, Guardian, 11 Dec. 2013. 59 GLOBAL ALLIES alliance politics have been to associate Denmark closely with and get the maximum amount of positive attention from the United States first and foremost. This policy has, surprisingly to many, been consistent across governments and incurred tangible costs in both Danish blood and treasure while providing only more intangible Danish political gains.

  • The Political Elites' Discourse of Right-Wing Populist Parties in Denmark and Sweden
    The Political Elites’ Discourse of Right-Wing Populist Parties in Denmark and Sweden Written by Mia Lund Bekke Denise Helt Persson Development & International Relations Dissertation Supervisor: Wolfgang Zank Aalborg University, 2015 Page 1 of 99 Preface The dissertation finishes our master degree in Development and International Relations with the headline “The Political Elites’ Discourse of Right-Wing Populist Parties in Denmark and Sweden”. The dissertation has been carried out as a comparative study of Denmark and Sweden, focusing on the mainstream parties' acceptance of right-wing populist parties in each country. It is examined by a discourse analysis based on Laclau and Mouffe's discourse theory supplemented by Fairclough's concept ‘order of discourse’. We would like to take this opportunity to thank our supervisor Wolfgang Zank for his educational inputs and dedication.

  • The Copenhagen Consensus Reading Adam Smith in Denmark by Robert Kuttner
    The Copenhagen Consensus Reading Adam Smith in Denmark By Robert Kuttner From Foreign Affairs , March/April 2008 Summary: Denmark has forged a social and economic model that couples the best of the free market with the best of the welfare state, transcending tradeoffs between dynamism and security, efficiency and equality. Other countries may not be able to simply copy the Danish model of social democracy, but it nonetheless offers important lessons for governments confronting the dilemmas of globalization. ROBERT KUTTNER is Co-Editor of The American Prospect, a Senior Fellow at the think tank Demos, and the author of The Squandering of America: How the Failure of Our Politics Undermines Our Prosperity. He conducted the research for this article as a German Marshall Fund Journalism Fellow. Adam Smith observed in 1776 that economies work best when governments keep their clumsy thumbs off the free market's "invisible hand." Two generations later, in 1817, the British economist David Ricardo extended Smith's insights to global trade. Just as market forces lead to the right price and quantity of products domestically, Ricardo argued, free foreign trade optimizes economic outcomes internationally. Reading Adam Smith in Copenhagen -- the center of the small, open, and highly successful Danish economy -- is a kind of out-of-body experience. On the one hand, the Danes are passionate free traders. They score well in the ratings constructed by pro-market organizations. The World Economic Forum's Global Competitiveness Index ranks Denmark third, just behind the United States and Switzerland. Denmark's financial markets are clean and transparent, its barriers to imports minimal, its labor markets the most flexible in Europe, its multinational corporations dynamic and largely unmolested by industrial policies, and its unemployment rate of 2.8 percent the second lowest in the OECD (the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development).

The outgoing parliament is in fact one that has undertaken the longest mandate in Denmark’s history, except for the one that governed during the Second World War from 1939 to 1943. In this Scandinavian kingdom the head of government can organise elections as he wishes. More often than not he does not wait for the end of the legislature but organises an election when he thinks it best for himself and his political party. This year the official campaign will last 23 days. However the parties have all been campaigning since the start of 2015. The elections will decide the future of the outgoing green technologies.

January 2013 14:52 UTC Kontraktpolitik, kulturkamp og ideologi 2001-2011 PETER KURRILD -KLITGAARD Institut for Statskundskab, Københavns Universitet Man kan næppe tænke på VK-regeringerne siden 2001 uden også at tænke på begreber som ”kontraktpolitik” og ”kulturkamp” (eller ”værdikamp”). Næppe nogen anden periode i moderne dansk politik har haft en regering med en profil, om hvilken man kan sige, at nogle få begreber har været så tydeligt og bredt associeret med den. En søgning i Infomedia-databasen giver i perioden 20.XI.2001- 15.VI.2011 i alt 2.517 referencer til ”kontraktpolitik”, 7.959 til ”kulturkamp” og 6.963 til ”værdikamp”—totalt 17.439 referencer. Til sammenligning var der 8.905 omtaler af ”liberalisme”, 10.728 af ”socialisme” og 892 af ”den tredje vej”. Nærværende artikels formål er flerdelt. Det er dels at præcisere, hvad der mentes med ”kontraktpolitikken” og ”kulturkampen”, da de blev lanceret, og hvorledes fortolkningerne af dem i et vist omfang udviklede sig, samt hvad deres plads var i særligt Anders Fogh Rasmussens politiske strategi. Men dels er formålet samtidigt at bidrage til en vurdering af, hvorvidt VK-regeringernes kontraktpolitik og kulturkamp kan siges at have været succesrige. Begreber og strategier ”Kontraktpolitik” Begrebet ”kontraktpolitik” sigter til den af daværende Venstre- formand og statsministerkandidat Anders Fogh Rasmussen lagte strategi, da han i 1998 overtog partiledelsen efter Uffe Ellemann- Jensen og så sig nødsaget til at omlægge linjen.
