  • DANISH POLITICS and SOCIETY Spring 2017 Copenhagen 3 Credits Disciplines: International Relations, Political Science, Sociology
    Final Syllabus DANISH POLITICS AND SOCIETY Spring 2017 Copenhagen 3 Credits Disciplines: International Relations, Political Science, Sociology Instructor: Martin Rasmussen Program Director: Neringa Vendelbo Program Assistant: Alex Berlin Meeting Time: Monday/Thursday, 13:15-14.35 Meeting Place: F24-503 Course Description: Denmark has a population of 5.5 million people and is often characterized as a homogeneous society, where “few have too much and even fewer have too little.” At first glance, you would expect a small, stable nation-state to have a limited number of internal conflicts and, consequently, to be rather simple for a social scientist to analyze and categorize. But Danish politics and society are in fact quite complex: Why does the Danish parliament consist of no less than 8 parties? How can a parliamentary system function with almost permanently minority governments? What’s left and right in Danish politics, and where is the center? Why do Danes act the way they do, and how do you break the code? Are the Danish political values still Danish, and what was the background leading up to and after “the Cartoon Crisis” and the terrorist attack in February 2015? Why does it seem that the welfare state is quite efficient in the globalized competition in spite of increasing challenges of high taxes, large public expenditures, and the need to provide the services the public demands? Why does Danish society have such difficulties dealing with immigration? Why are Danes “reluctant” Europeans, and what is the background for recent years' activist Danish foreign policy? Objectives: The objectives of this course are to primarily provide students with a broad-ranging and systematic knowledge of Danish politics and society.

  • Flexicurity in Europe
    Flexicurity in Europe Administrative Agreement JRC N°31962-2010-11 NFP ISP - FLEXICURITY 2 Final Report 1 © European Union, 2013 The Project has been executed by M. Nardo and F. Rossetti of the European Commission, Joint Research Center, Unit of Econometrics and Applied Statistics. We thank Guy Lejeune for the valuable suggestions, R. Rosati for the initial support with the data and Melissa Mouthaan for the editing assistance. Disclaimer: This report was prepared for the use of the European Commission, Directorate-General for Employment, Social Affairs and Inclusion. The views and opinions expressed here are the authors’ only and do not necessarily represent the Commission’s official position. Comments and enquiries should be addressed to: Michela Nardo: [email protected] Fiammetta Rossetti: [email protected] 2 Executive Summary The notion of Flexicurity has been widely used in the last decade to reconcile the needs of a flexible labour market with those of a robust social security. Emerging in the Netherlands in the mid 1990s, this concept presupposes a “double bind”: high levels of flexibility are required to compete successfully in a globalized market and thus to afford high levels of employment security. The European Commission promoted flexicurity to a flagship policy in the mid 2000s. Included in the Lisbon Agenda (re-confirmed in its follow-up, the EU2020 strategy), flexicurity is advocated by guideline 21 of the European Employment Strategy 2007 as able “to promote flexibility combined with employment security”. Member States are then called upon to implement employment policies aimed at achieving full employment, improving quality and productivity at work, and strengthening social and territorial cohesion.

    Center for European Studies Working Paper Series #162 (2008) The Negotiated Nordic Labor Markets: From Bust to Boom by Jon Erik Dølvik Visiting Scholar, Center for European Studies Harvard University/ Fafo Institute for Labour and Social Research, Oslo c/o CES [email protected] Phone (617) 495-4303 ext 211 Fafo, Postboks 2147 Tøyen,N-0609 Oslo +47 22 08 86 00 [email protected]; www.fafo.no Abstract This paper1 provides an overview of the negotiated Nordic labor market regimes and their vari- ous paths of adjustment from bust to boom in recent decades. Developed in small, open econo- mies, the Nordic labor regimes are often associated with strong centralized agreements and asso- ciations, high union density, and extensive worker representation, which have been embedded in social models based on close interaction between working life policies, the welfare state and macroeconomic policies. In leaner forms these features have undoubtedly contributed to the high Nordic levels of mobility, equality and employment in recent years (“flexicurity”), but an often overlooked part of the story is the increased scope for product market competition and the supply-side reforms undertaken in the Nordic countries since the crises in the 1980-90s. Another distinction of the revitalized Nordic models is the growing importance of management-union negotiations and dialogue at the company level. A key argument in this paper is thus that the capacity for negotiated flexibility and adjustment in Nordic labor markets has been critically reli- ant on the multilevel, single-channel pattern of articulation between centralized coordination and decentralized negotiations linking restructuring, training, productivity and pay issues.

With this focus in mind, our study intends to illustrate how the welfare state is reacting to the COVID-19 crisis. The measures examined are characterised by their multitude, their variety and their rapid changeability. It is difficult to keep track, in particular if one wants to include the whole range of measures. Therefore, we had to concentrate on specific aspects, namely job retention, supporting the economy and in particular the economic existence of self- employed, and access to social protection. It goes without saying, that our stock taking is necessarily of a rather provisional nature. It reflects the situation as of mid October 2020 (the hyperlinks were last checked on 20 October).
