Bjørn Hansen og hans Gud
Hvem er han, Bjørn Hansen? Hovedperson og antihelt i tre romaner av Dag Solstad, skrevet og utgitt over en periode på 27 år. Boktitlene peker ikke mot et svar. De har ikke et eget navn, bare et nummer: Ellevte roman, bok atten (1992). Dernest knappere: 17. roman (2009). I den siste boken viser nummeret til hovedpersonen: Tredje, og siste, roman om Bjørn Hansen. Roman 2019. Selv om tittelen på den tredje boken viser til at de tre utgjør en helhet,…

Democratic State and Democratic Society
After the optimism following the fall of the Berlin Wall, the world has seen more of a democratic backlash. But despite the backlashes, in some societies the stability of democracy does not seem to be threatened. Why is this so? One common answer points to civic culture, a shared feeling of responsibility for the common fate of citizens. An alternative, to be explored in this volume, is that the stability of democratic rule is anchored in its int…

Introduction
The Public Sphere in Change.
Institutional Change in the Public Sphere
The main focus of the book is institutional change in the Scandinavian model, with special emphasis on Norway. There are many reasons to pay closer attention to the Norwegian case when it comes to analyses of changes in the public sphere. In the country’s political history, the arts and the media played a particular role in the processes towards sovereignty at the beginning of the 20th century. On a par with the other Scandinavian countries, Norw…

Gender Segregation in Vocational Education
A power elite in the cultural field. A story of Norwegian neo-corporatism
The organizational culture elite is studied as a new elite group emerging within a stable neo-corporatist state. Does this new elite adopt existing modes of operation or place itself at bay from the more established elite groups? The emergence of and changes in the culture elite are discussed from a historical perspective in terms of social background, recruitment processes, occupational careers, gender composition, political outlooks, lobbying, …
Offentlighet og strategisk kommunikasjon
I de siste tiårene har kommunikasjonsmønstrene i offentligheten gått gjennom omfattende endringer. Den sterke veksten i kommunikasjonsbransjen er en av dem. Artikkelen diskuterer om Jürgen Habermas’ teori om offentligheten er forenlig med denne nye tendensen. Samtidig er Habermas’ teori revidert etter utgivelsen av Strukturwandel der Öffentlichkeit i 1962, fra en grunnleggende negativ til en grunnleggende positiv oppfatning av massemediene. Teori…

Firms, Boards and Gender Quotas
During the last decade gender equality in business life has become a hot topic. One impetus is the recent reform in Norway, prescribing gender quotas to the boards of directors of public companies. Shortly after the Norwegian reform was enacted, several other European countries have adopted similar reforms. This is the only volume where this gender quota reform is thoroughly discussed from an economic, political and philosophical point of view. I…
Democratic Elitism
Joseph Schumpeter's “competitive theory of democracy” – often labeled democratic elitism - has struck many as an apt and insightful description of how representative democracy works, even though convinced democrats detect an elitist thrust they find disturbing. But neither Schumpeter nor subsequent defenders of democratic elitism have paid enough attention to actual behaviors of leaders and elites. Attention has been riveted on how adequately dem…

Democratic Elitism - Conflict and Consensus
Classical elite theory stressed tensions between elites and democracy, whereas modern studies of elites take democracy as a point of departure - to a large extent under the heading of democratic elitism. This article discusses two strands of elite studies in a democracy perspective, one stressing elite conflict, the other focusing on elite consensus. As points of departure for empirical analysis both strands are valuable, but when linked to democ…
Social conventions and the dialectics of recognition
A dominant model of social action explains macro outcomes by aggregating a large set of independent actions, while actors’ preferences and plans are explained by cultural background or cultural context. While useful for several purposes, the weakness of this model lies in its simplistic treatment of culture and disregard of power. Not only individual preferences but also the desire for recognition by others determine social action. The locus clas…
Comparative Studies of Social and Political Elites
How can the existence of elites be compatible with democratic governance? Any democratic society is inevitably confronted by this basic question. This book reviews existing research on elites and their interactions with those around them. How the recruitment to elites changes in the long run according to class and gender is one of the core themes of the present volume. Other topics explored include the relationship between elites and the populati…
National Literature, Collective Identity and Political Power
The significance of literature in nation-building in two “second generation” nations, Germany and Norway, is discussed. In both countries a specific national literature was constituted parallel to the political institutions during the latter half of the 19th century. Yet there are clear differences in political effects in the two cases. In Norway, the struggle for national independence up to 1905 entailed a significant democratization of society.…
Elite consensus on the Norwegian welfare state model
Is the Norwegian welfare state model under pressure? In this article we argue that this model will persist to the extent that there is a relatively strong consensus among the majority of the national elites to support it. The empirical results presented indicate that the majority of the Norwegian elites at the time of the study (2000) supported the basic institutions and policies in the model and the political compromises upon which they are base…
