Parliamentary Oversight and the Effects of Controlled Institutional Settings on Behavioural Logics
Parliamentary oversight, which is an activity that occurs in both congressional and parliamentary settings, faces many challenges. This is especially the case in parliamentary systems. Institutionally, actors in parliament must oversee the government’s use of power, but complex incentive challenges leave only limited room for oversight to occur, or only when it serves partisan purposes. These two behavioural logics, institutional and partisan, ar…
The Danish Realm in the Arctic
Arctic regional development challenges the Danish Realm construction. The geopolitical importance has increased the focus on the two sub-state units, the Faroe Islands and Greenland, which demand more influence and room to conduct paradiplomacy. The Arctic Council is the most important international institution in the region, and this article focuses on different options for the distinct political units within the Realm to seek influence and over…
Political parties and parliamentary oversight committee seats
Political parties are important actors for making the chain of delegation in parliamentary systems work in practice, but less constructive in securing the corresponding chain of accountability that goes in the opposite direction. This article, however, argues that parliamentary oversight (accountability) conditions improve in institutionalised settings, like in central oversight committees. The article explores political parties’ strategies relat…
Parliamentary Committees and Ex-post Oversight
Parliamentary oversight of executive power is a parliamentary system concern, considering weaker ex-post institutional oversight mechanisms and actor incentive challenges. Yet, institutional options are precondition for making parliamentary ex-post oversight work and this article investigates which type of options in fact exists within the vital committee system and how they are designed. The expectation is that ex-post oversight options depend o…
MP Firefighting and the institutional logic
In parliamentary systems, parliament ensures that the government governs well, and typically parliaments institutionally are empowered to hold the government accountable. This article focuses on MPs Firefighting response to audit Fire Alarms about the government maladministration. Institutions foster expectations and as parliamentarians, MPs are expected to support audit reports. Nevertheless, the strong role of political parties in parliamentary…
MP Firefighting and the Partisan Logic
Control of executive power is a central accountability concern. This article focuses on ways for parliament and MPs to assist the voter in this important task. Parliamentary systems empower parliaments by a range of control institutions, but the role of political parties challenges MPs incentives to engage in control of government. This article focuses on Fire Alarm control activity, but argues that Fire Alarms call for MP Firefighting. In parlia…
Citizenship in the Faroe Islands
This article analyses citizenship and political culture in the Faroe Islands based on a quantitative survey carried out in summer 2004. Located theoretically in the tradition of Scandinavian citizenship investigations and its predecessors in the ‘civic culture’ tradition of Almond and Verba, four areas of citizenship are analysed: political engagement, democratic participation, political efficacy and democratic identity. The main hypothesis is th…
