Indigenous People’s Self-governing Bodies and the Role of Civil Society
In this paper, the authors look at the relationship between the Sámi Parliament in Norway and the Sámi civil society as seen both from the perspective of the party leaders and representatives, the civil society organisations, and the voters. While strong civil societies are important in ensuring responsive democratic governance systems in general, they may be particularly important in a political system such as the Sámi. Sámi politics operates wi…
Urbanisering av det samiske elektoratet
Stemmeretten ved sametingsvalg i Norge er ikke knyttet til at en bor innenfor et bestemt geografisk område, men er en politisk rettighet som erverves på individuelt etnisk grunnlag, og som følger individet uavhengig av bosted. En raskt økende andel av Sametingets elektorat bor nå utenfor de tradisjonelle samiske bosettingsområdene, og svært mange bor i en by. Sametinget har likevel ikke utviklet en særegen bypolitikk, og Sametingets virkemiddelap…

A Broad Alliance of Civil Society Organizations on Climate Change Mitigation
One hundred and one very different organizations joined together prior to the election for the Norwegian parliament in 2013 in order to make climate change mitigation the most important issue in the election campaign. The alliance (CE2013) agreed on six political demands relating to mitigation. In this article, we categorize the 101 organizations and discuss their identity and objectives according to these demands. The analysis demonstrates that …
The Sámi
This article explores the case of the Sámi in the Nordic countries, with a specific focus on the most extensive Sámi political system, that found in Norway. The Norwegian Sámi parliament is an indigenous parliament in a unitary and ‘state-friendly’ society. As will be seen, that is not an easy position to be in. While most of the Sámi are concentrated in the most northern part of Norway, the Sámi language has a general protection by law. The lang…
Associations Online
Despite the high adoption level of Facebook and other social network sites (SNSs) in Norway, local level voluntary associations have not embraced SNSs to the same degree. Regular websites are the main web representation, and information provision is the main function of the associations’ web representations. Using quantitative data on website content and organizational characteristics we have analyzed which factors hinder SNS adoption. The result…
Citizenship identity among Norwegian Sami in core Sami areas
This analysis of citizenship identity among Sami living in core Sami areas in Norway clearly shows that the Sami population feel more closely connected to their local communities than is the case for non-Sami living in the same areas and for the Norwegian populace as a whole. Some significant differences also emerge as regards citizenship identity between Sami who have chosen to be registered in the Sami electoral roster and those who are not reg…
Sámi Citizenship
In accordance with international conventions the Sámi is an indigenous group belonging to two populations and two overlapping civil societies within one nation state. This situation not only influences Sámi political interests and activities in general, but it also affects the individual Sámi's political orientation and decisions. Nevertheless, no thorough study has been conducted, on the individual level, of Sámi political participation and invo…
Environmentalism between state and local community
Although Norway is often seen as an environmental forerunner with an extensive voluntary sector, the internationally successful environmental organisation Greenpeace has never managed to establish a viable organisation there. The explanation for this lies in a Norwegian political culture that includes two distinct culturally embedded anomalies that configure a specific type of environmentalism. The first anomaly is Norway's state-friendly society…
The Importance of Church Attendance and Membership of Religious Voluntary Organizations for the Formation of Social Capital
The author discusses whether church attendance and membership of religious voluntary organizations contribute to establishing social capital in society, and if so, whether faith, membership, or the level of active involvement is the key factor. She analyses what bearing religious involvement has on a citizen's political involvement, and to what extent religious involvement helps to build social trust and tolerance of other groups in society. Data…
Contacting as a channel of Political Involvement
Citizen-initiated contact with politicians is an increasing, but often neglected, form of political participation. Direct contact fits well with new participation trends that increased individualisation and a single-issue focus have brought forth, and is often interpreted as a participatory form that conforms with such new demands. Yet while political participation through most traditional channels is decreasing, direct-contact increase implies t…
Unique Environmentalism
This book explains and demonstrates how the Norwegian case of environmentalism is unique. The two connected anomalies of an inclusive and state friendly society and a strong orientation and commitment to local communities make the case stand apart from mainstream international definitions of environmentalism. The authors study a specific political culture with a rather unique combination of state structure and civil society of which organized env…
Organized Environmentalists
This article, taking as its point of departure that voluntary organizations are of crucial importance in a democracy, views the transformation of the Norwegian voluntary sector through the lenses of what happens within the environmental field. Seeing changes within this field as prototypical for the transformation of the voluntary sector more generally, we start with the organizational level and contrast old versus new environmental organizations…
