    1 KRISTENSEN, Thorkil, Danish politician, third Secretary-General of the Organization for European Economic Cooperation (OEEC) 1960-1961 and first Secretary-General of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) 1961-1969, was born 9 October 1899 in Fløjstrup, close to Vejle, Denmark, and passed away 26 June 1989 in Birkerød, Denmark. He was the son of Niels Kristensen, farmer, and Anne Kirstine Thorkilsen, farmer. On 17 July 1931 he married Ellen Christine Nielsen, teacher. They had one daughter and one son. Source: OECD Paris Sound recordings: http://lccn.loc.gov/92788675 Kristensen was born the second of three children in a farming family in rural Jutland in Denmark and went to school in Veijle and Odense. While his family was quite well off in his early childhood, his parents were forced to sell the farm in 1907 and lost much money due to the inflation of the 1920s. His parents had close ties to the liberal-conservative party Venstre (literally: Left, in the sense of Liberal), the traditional Danish farmers’ party. Kristensen became a member of Venstre’s youth organization in 1918. For several years he worked as a bookkeeper, but, unlike his parents, he decided to continue his education at the age of 21, for which he first needed to successfully complete his secondary school exam. With the exam achieved in 1922, he went on to obtain a degree in Political Science and Economics at the University of Copenhagen in 1927. He then taught at a business school in Aarhus, but due to the continuation of childhood hearing problems he had to give up his desired occupation.

  • Italy's Atlanticism Between Foreign and Internal
    UNISCI Discussion Papers, Nº 25 (January / Enero 2011) ISSN 1696-2206 ITALY’S ATLANTICISM BETWEEN FOREIGN AND INTERNAL POLITICS Massimo de Leonardis 1 Catholic University of the Sacred Heart Abstract: In spite of being a defeated country in the Second World War, Italy was a founding member of the Atlantic Alliance, because the USA highly valued her strategic importance and wished to assure her political stability. After 1955, Italy tried to advocate the Alliance’s role in the Near East and in Mediterranean Africa. The Suez crisis offered Italy the opportunity to forge closer ties with Washington at the same time appearing progressive and friendly to the Arabs in the Mediterranean, where she tried to be a protagonist vis a vis the so called neo- Atlanticism. This link with Washington was also instrumental to neutralize General De Gaulle’s ambitions of an Anglo-French-American directorate. The main issues of Italy’s Atlantic policy in the first years of “centre-left” coalitions, between 1962 and 1968, were the removal of the Jupiter missiles from Italy as a result of the Cuban missile crisis, French policy towards NATO and the EEC, Multilateral [nuclear] Force [MLF] and the revision of the Alliance’ strategy from “massive retaliation” to “flexible response”. On all these issues the Italian government was consonant with the United States. After the period of the late Sixties and Seventies when political instability, terrorism and high inflation undermined the Italian role in international relations, the decision in 1979 to accept the Euromissiles was a landmark in the history of Italian participation to NATO.

Udfordringer skorter det ikke på. Vi nævner i flæng den finansielle og økonomiske krise, euroens stabilitet, klimaændringer, energiforsyning og -sikkerhed, en fælles udenrigstjeneste til varetagelse bl.a. af fredsbevarende operationer og udviklings- bistand, udvidelser, reform af Den fælles Landbrugspolitik og diskussion om de langsigtede budgetprioriteter, Lissabon-traktaten, som trådte i kraft 1. december 2009, giver rammerne og værk- tøjerne. Det er op til institutionerne og det politiske lederskab at levere varen. Og EU skal definere og finde sin rolle på den globale scene. Der er jo rent faktisk opnået en hel del, siden det egentlige samarbejde startede i slutningen af 1950'erne. Den institutionelle balance ser ud til at fungere - det er i hvert fald svært at forestille sig et alternativ, som kan skabe bedre resultater. Ideen om en uafhængig Kommission, et demokratisk valgt Parlament og et Ministerråd med ansvar over for de nationale parlamenter har vist sig at være langtidsholdbar. Når man kigger på udviklingen i samarbejdet siden Rom-traktatens ikrafttræden i 1958 kan man godt blive lidt overvældet og imponeret af resultaterne. De oprinde- lige seks medlemslande er blevet til 27 og bliver formentlig snart endnu flere. Det splittede, sønderbombede og forarmede Europa efter 2. verdenskrig og den kolde krig er blevet et demokratisk, fredeligt og socialt Europa med næsten en halv mil- liard indbyggere.

  • Danish Cold War Historiography
    SURVEY ARTICLE Danish Cold War Historiography ✣ Rasmus Mariager This article reviews the scholarly debate that has developed since the 1970s on Denmark and the Cold War. Over the past three decades, Danish Cold War historiography has reached a volume and standard that merits international attention. Until the 1970s, almost no archive-based research had been con- ducted on Denmark and the Cold War. Beginning in the late 1970s, however, historians and political scientists began to assess Danish Cold War history. By the time an encyclopedia on Denmark and the Cold War was published in 2011, it included some 400 entries written by 70 researchers, the majority of them established scholars.1 The expanding body of literature has shown that Danish Cold War pol- icy possessed characteristics that were generally applicable, particularly with regard to alliance policy. As a small frontline state that shared naval borders with East Germany and Poland, Denmark found itself in a difficult situation in relation to the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) as well as the Soviet Union. With regard to NATO, Danish policymakers balanced policies of integration and screening. The Danish government had to assure the Soviet Union of Denmark’s and NATO’s peaceful intentions even as Denmark and NATO concurrently rearmed. The balancing act was not easily managed. A review of Danish Cold War historiography also has relevance for con- temporary developments within Danish politics and research. Over the past quarter century, Danish Cold War history has been remarkably politicized.2 The end of the Cold War has seen the successive publication of reports and white books on Danish Cold War history commissioned by the Dan- ish government.

Hansen og Jens Ringsmose Institut for Statskundskab hhv. Københavns Universitet & Syddansk Universitet E-mail: [email protected] & [email protected] Resumé I de seneste 50 år har de fire gamle partier i dansk politik skiftet leder 26 gange. 16 af disse lederskift har været motiveret af manglende målopfyldelse i forhold til fire strategiske partimål – stemmemaksimering, regeringsdeltagelse, intern sammenhold og policy- indflydelse. Nederlag i relation til elektorale arena er den dominerende årsag til partilederskift. Det er imidlertid undtagelsen frem for reglen at et lederskifte resulterer i forbedret målopfyldelse inden for det første år efter skiftet. De resterende 10 lederskift har været foranlediget af dårligt helbred, dødsfald eller frivillig afgang og fandt – i helt overvejende omfang – sted i årene 1953-1973.

  • 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.

Taxonomy of Minority Governments LISA LA FORNARA INTRODUCTION A minority government in its most basic form is a government in which the party holding the most parliamentary seats still has fewer than half the seats in parliament and therefore cannot pass legislation or advance policy without support from unaffiliated parties.1 Because seats in minority parliaments are more evenly distributed amongst multiple parties, opposition parties have greater opportunity to block legislation. A minority government must therefore negotiate with external parties and adjust its policies to garner the majority of votes required to advance its initiatives.2 This paper serves as a taxonomy of minority governments in recent history and proceeds in three parts.
