Freedom for All? The Strength and Limits of Political Tolerance
Most research on political tolerance relying on the ‘least-liked’ group approach has painted a bleak picture of low and feeble levels of tolerance. An alternative approach, permitting an evaluation of the breadth of tolerance, is combined with the use of survey experiments to demonstrate that tolerance varies considerably across target groups. Specifically, the formation of tolerance judgements is shown to differ depending on a group’s associatio…
Deservingness versus values in public opinion on welfare
Public attitudes towards welfare policy are often explained by political values and perceptions of deservingness of welfare recipients. This article addresses how the impact of values and perceptions varies depending on the contextual information that citizens have available when forming welfare opinions. It is argued that whenever citizens face deservingness-relevant cues in public debate or the media, a psychological 'deservingness heuristic' i…

The Political Representation of Ethnic Minorities
In general, ethnic minorities are strongly under-represented in representative bodies; however, there is no rule without exceptions. In the municipal elections in Denmark in 2001, the number of ethnic minorities who won election to the local councils throughout the country almost corresponded to their percentage in the general population. The explanation for this can be found in the Danish local election system, with its combination of proportion…
The Context of Priming
The existence of priming (i.e. the fact that the standards people use to make political evaluations shift in response to changes in media coverage of political issues) has become generally accepted. However, most of the evidence for the priming mechanism comes from experiments or analyses of certain specific events. This article presents evidence of priming from a longitudinal study of the Danish population's evaluation of the Danish government. …
Power and Democracy in Denmark
In its final report, the Danish Democracy and Power Study (1998–2004) pointed to a number of serious democratic problems such as declining political party membership, a growing gap between a competent and resourceful majority and a marginalised minority, the growing influence of the media, the transfer of power from the political to the judicial system, and the democratic deficit associated with European Union membership. However, the report also…
Hvorfor den store forskel
It depends… how organisational participation affects political participation and social trust among second‐generation immigrants in Denmark
The article aims to test the social capital hypothesis on ethnic minority associations with reference to the Danish case. Formulated at the individual level, the hypothesis holds that participation in ethnic associations builds social trust and tolerance, which in turn create the basis for political participation. To confirm the hypothesis, organisational participation should have a positive effect on social trust as well as on formal and informa…
Experts in the Mass Media
This study of journalists' 1961–2001 use of researchers in three national Danish daily newspapers identifies a dramatic and accelerating sevenfold increase in the number of articles referring to researchers—an increase that is related to a significant shift in which types of researchers are cited and for what purpose. Researchers communicate research results much less than they did in the past; instead, they increasingly serve as expert commentat…
Migrants at the polls
Starting from the puzzle that voter turn‐out among immigrants is higher in Denmark than in other countries where immigrants are eligible to vote in local elections, this article argues that the main explanation is that the Danish local election system with its rules for personal voting contains greater incentives to collective mobilisation than the election rules in, e.g., Sweden. In some Danish cities, certain ethnic groups are mobilising collec…
Prejudice and tolerance in a period of increasing ethnic diversity and growing unemployment
Since the end of the 1960s Denmark, once an ethnically homogeneous country, has become more heterogeneous as a result of immigration by foreign workers and refugees. The question is how has this development influenced the attitudes in Denmark towards immigrants? The saliency of the immigrant issue has certainly grown, but contrary to expectations, the level of ethnocentrism has changed very little. If anything, the Danish population has become le…

Feminist attitudes
Feminist attitudes in times of depoliticization of women's issues
Based on data from Denmark from the end of the 1970s and 1980s the paper analyzes the development of feminist attitudes during a period characterized, on the one hand, by a high, and still growing, integration of women into the labour market and political life, and on the other, by an organizational decline of the women's movement and a decline in the politicization of women's issues. At the end of the 1970s, feminist attitudes, especially among …
The Disappearance of a Gender Gap
Bad on data from Denmark, the paper examines the development of gender differences in political tolerance during the 1970s and 1980s. There was a large gender gap in tolerance at the beginning of the 1970s. which had totally disappeared by the end of the 1980s. The analysis shows that at the beginning of the 1970s. the gender gap is partly explained by differences in political involvement. Interpreted as a result of the different political social…
Political Implications of Increasing Numbers of Women in the Labor Force
Political scientists generally agree that women's behavior is strongly affected by their growing labor market participation. But how will political life be affected when practically all women in a society work outside the home? Five hypotheses are formulated in this article and tested on data from Denmark: (a) The political involvement and participation of women will increase and reach the level of men's; (b) women will become more feminist, dema…
The Gender Gap in Foreign Policy Attitudes
Conventional wisdom holds that women are more peace-loving or more pacific than men. Most of our knowledge about the gender gap in foreign policy attitudes originates from the United States, but it cannot be taken for granted that these results can be generalized to other countries. This article examines gender differences in foreign policy attitudes in Denmark; it discusses the systemic factors behind such gender differences as well as the syste…
Grass roots participation in the Nordic countries
Despite the similarities between the Nordic countries with regard to social and political structures, major differences in grass roots participation are found. Participation is highest in Sweden and lowest in Finland, with Denmark, Norway and Iceland falling in between. There are also striking differences between the countries regarding the relationships between participation and factors as age, gender, education, social class and party choice. T…
The Nature of Declining Party Membership in Denmark
Declining party membership in Denmark is analysed in light of the general development of political participation in the 1970s and 1980s. It is demonstrated that the decline in party membership had nothing to do with a general decline in participation. The decline is rather the result of three different processes: (1) the declining number of farmers, (2) the weakening of the organization of the workers, and (3) the political mobilization of the ne…
The political mobilisation of the new middle class in Denmark during the 1970s and 1980s
This article deals with recent changes in political participation in Denmark. A distinction is made between the mobilisation and the supplementary theory of participation. Applying data from samples of younger generations from 1979 and 1988, it is shown that a strong collective mobilisation of the new middle class of well‐educated public sector employees took place through grass‐roots activities during the 1970s. This changed during the 1980s, ho…
Political radicalism in the working class and in the middle class
While political radicalism has most often been associated with the working class, there have been instances of middle class radical movements. In the 1960s Frank Parkin developed a theory which attempted to distinguish between the two class forms of political radicalism. In the light of the social and political developments of recent decades, which have seen several examples of middle class political radicalism, this article attempts to assess th…
Political Involvement and the Development of Political Attitudes
Political socialization research so far has focused primarily on the direction of attitudes among children and youngsters. The preconditions for the development of political attitudes among these age groups have been neglected. In theoretical discussions cognitive development has been offered as a major prerequisite. In the article it is posited that political involvement is a second major prerequisite. The effects of political involvement are ex…
