Carbon tax, not subsidies
Economic expertise influences climate policy through various institutional channels, including academic research, think tanks, government offices, and councils. National economic councils are particularly relevant because close to political realities and accepting politically defined climate and environmental goals. Based on a systematic analysis of their publications, we find that the Danish Economic Councils (DEC) have consistently opposed all …
Finding one's way in urban greenspaces
Urban greenspaces connect issues ranging from personal place attachments to abstract problems like climate change, making them interesting research objects for cultural and political sociology. Existing qualitative studies of urban greenspaces have successfully drawn on Laurent Thévenot's sociology of engagements. Developing an exploratory survey methodology for the Danish context (n = 1,130), we seek to complement this literature through a compr…
What Social Research Can Learn from Archaeology
Methodological inspiration from the discipline of archaeology can spur new developments of logic of inquiry in social research beyond contemporary debates among empiricist, rationalist, and pragmatist positions with their corresponding modes of inference: induction, deduction, and abduction. Archaeological methodology pursues comparison not in terms of similarities and differences among cases but through the juxtaposition of heterogeneous yet coe…
What's so new about social investment? Evidence from the history of the Danish welfare state
Social Investment is heralded as a new social policy logic that views present social expenditure in light of future benefits for a greater good. Seeking to qualify the discussion of the historical status and development of Social Investment logic(s), this article asks the question: Is the social investment logic new? Taking the critique of Social Investment as utilitarian as a starting point, we trace and analyse historical logics in the formativ…
The Knowledge Problems of European Financial Market Integration
Since the creation of the euro and a European Central Bank, the European Union has persistently pursued financial market integration throughout periods of economic growth, membership enlargements, financial breakdown, and political crisis. While traditionally analysed in terms of clashing ideological orientations and strategic political interests, this book presents a novel and empirically grounded perspective on the issues around financial marke…
The ‘Archaeology’ of Paradoxes
European artificial intelligence policy as digital single market making
Rapid innovation in digital services relying on artificial intelligence (AI) challenges existing regulations across a wide array of policy fields. The European Union (EU) has pursued a position as global leader on ethical AI regulation in explicit contrast to US laissez-faire and Chinese state surveillance approaches. This article asks how the seemingly heterogeneous approaches of market making and ethical AI are woven together at a deeper level …
The Market’ of European integration
The politics of the urban green
Local urban greenspaces connect issues close to everyday life, such as recreational value, attachment to place and civic engagements, with broader questions of city planning, economy, climate change and social class. Responding to recent warnings against reductionism in critical studies of cities' new claims to sustainability, the article mobilizes the recent 'moral turn' in the Bourdieusian literature on classed politics to explore these interla…
Archaeological Methodology
Existing accounts of Foucault's archaeological methodology have not (a) contextualized the concept properly within the intellectual field of its emergence and (b) explained why it is called 'archaeology' and not simply 'history'. Foucault contributed to the field of 'history of systems of thought' in France around 1960 by broadening its scope from the study of scientific and philosophical systems into systems of 'knowledge' in a wider sense. For …
Fælleshed som bynaturens sted
Med afsæt i den pragmatiske sociolog Laurent Thévenots begreb om »familiært engagement« præsenterer artiklen tre forskellige metodologiske tilgangetil bynatur som konkrete steder for det, vi kalder »fælleshed«. Hvor begrebet om familiært engagement i sig selv kan minde om »stedstilknytning« if.eks. psykologisk og geografisk litteratur, har teorien som sådan den fordel, at den kobler individuelle engagementer med et relateret begreb om socialkoord…
German political and economic ideology in the twentieth century and its theological problems
Ordoliberalism is widely considered to be the dominant ideology of the German political elite today and consequently responsible at least in part for its hard ‘austerity’ line during the recent Eurozone crisis. This article presents a genealogy of the main concerns, concepts and problems around which early German ordoliberalism was formed and structured as a political and economic ideology. Early ordoliberalism is shown to be rooted in an interwa…
Money and the ‘Level Playing Field’
Financial market integration processes in the European Union (EU) are characterised by an epistemic problem of economic theory. This problem encompasses what ‘the market’ is, how it is to be ‘integrated’, and the nature and role of ‘money’ as infrastructure of the fully integrated market. The EU’s legal framework has imported this epistemic problem along with the competitive conception of the market as described in economic theory – as a ‘level p…
Between competition and centralization
Ongoing European financial market integration relies on the creation of harmonized and centralized market infrastructures: the little-known institutions and systems that settle financial transactions across borders. Since the constitutional conception of market integration within the EU entails creating ‘a level playing field’ for competition, a fundamental problem emerges of how to provide that centralization and harmonization without violating …
Field theory in cultural capital studies of educational attainment
This article argues that there is a double problem in international research in cultural capital and educational attainment: an empirical problem, since few new insights have been gained within recent years; and a theoretical problem, since cultural capital is seen as a simple hypothesis about certain isolated individual resources, disregarding the structural vision and important related concepts such as field in Bourdieu’s sociology. We (re-)emp…
The Structural Configurations of Alcohol in Denmark
This article analyzes recent developments in Danish alcohol policy, culture, and industry. It reveals cross-sector dynamics and complexities that are often downplayed in existing literature. It traces how a stable “structural configuration” emerged in the 1960s-1980s between the three domains, based on liberalization. A particular adolescent alcohol culture of intoxication, however, emerged in the 1990s, raising public awareness and calls for pol…
Den bureaukratiske elite – karriereveje og topposter i centraladministrationen
Artiklen kortlægger ved korrespondanceanalyse karriereveje for 122 topembedsmænd i centraladministrationen. Artiklen har tre anliggender: 1) at opdatere og nuancere billedet af den bureaukratiske elite i Danmark, som det kendes fra tidligere politologiske studier; 2) at positionere analysen i et europæisk perspektiv og i forhold til en anden dansk elite, topdirektører; og 3) at eksemplificere visse teoretiske og metodiske fordele ved felt- og kor…
Unfolding the Social
An important philosopher and anthropologist of science, Bruno Latour has recently outlined an ambitious programme for a new sociological empiricism, in continuation of his actor-network-theory (ANT). Interrogating issues of description, explanation and theoretical interpretation in this 'sociology of associations', we argue that certain internal tensions are manifest. While Latour's philosophy of social science demands an absolute abandonment of …
