Does Size Matter for the Relationship Between Politics and Administration
Owing to public administrations' expansion of their roles in policy design and coordination, concerns about bureaucratic power have reemerged across democratic systems. However, little is known concerning how elected politicians experience and interpret administrative influence, particularly in local governments, in which administrative capacity often rivals political authority. This study examined how local politicians perceive administrative in…
Knowledge and support for AI in the public sector
We are on the verge of a revolution in public sector decision-making processes, where computers will take over many of the governance tasks previously assigned to human bureaucrats. Governance decisions based on algorithmic information processing are increasing in numbers and scope, contributing to decisions that impact the lives of individual citizens. While significant attention in the recent few years has been devoted to normative discussions …
Trustees, Delegates, and Direct Democracy
Previous research has demonstrated that the legitimacy of a majority‐rule procedure, as perceived by the general population, is dependent on turnout, the size of the majority, and the favourability of the outcome. In this article, we investigate how elected representatives assess referendum results and whether they are congruent with voters. To study this novel form of elite‐citizen procedural congruence , we compare a survey experiment administe…
Beyond the Ballot
This study delves into the criteria under which referendums can legitimise political choices. It employs survey experiments regarding EU membership across seven European nations, focusing on variations in referendum outcomes, majority margins and voter participation. The empirical results reveal a consistent pattern of legitimacy attributed to referendums, emphasising the influence of majority margin and voter turnout. It also uncovers the critic…
The impact of public discourse on local representatives’ amalgamation preferences
Municipal amalgamation reforms have taken place across democratic regimes since the 1960s. While much focus has been devoted to such reforms’ causes and effects, less attention has been on public discourse surrounding territorial consolidation. This study analyses how local issue salience may impact local representatives’ stance on amalgamating their municipality with one or more others. We focus on the 2014–2020 Norwegian Local Government Reform…
How cross-pressured local politicians choose government loyalty over local voters’ preferences. Lessons from a survey experiment in Norway
This study explores how local politicians act when they are torn between local voters' views and their own views or the party line.Against the background of a recent municipal amalgamation reform in Norway that reduced the number of municipalities from 428 to 356, we conducted a survey experiment where the local representatives (N = 2,013) were treated with different outcomes from a hypothetical municipal referendum about a potential amalgamation…
An Empirical Evaluation of Explanations for Political System Support
The literature that examines cross-national satisfaction with democracy seeks to discover a set of predictors that are associated with evaluations of regime performance. The most common way of examining the determinants of satisfaction with democracy is null hypothesis significance testing. While this approach has merit, this paper argues that the literature, as it stands, can be complemented to gain additional insights. To date, little research …
Territorial reforms, mobilisation, and political trust
The focus of this study is the political trust implications of territorial reforms, approaches to territorial reform, and the effects of the mobilisation of political-territorial collective identities. We focus on the political trust effects of political-territorial mobilisation grounded on territorial reforms, and of voluntary and forced structural reforms. The case examined is that of Norway, a country characterised by high levels of trust befo…
Conditional legitimacy
This conjoint study investigates the type of mandate a referendum confers in the political decision-making process. While a majority of citizens in general believe that the government should follow the results of a referendum on European Union membership, its perceived legitimacy in the eyes of the public heavily depends upon the level of turnout, the size of the majority, and the outcome of the specific referendum in question. Thus, whether a re…
A meta-analysis of income and democracy
The purpose of this article is to examine the relationship between per capita income and democracy. Namely, do increases in income per capita affect a regime's level of democracy? The scholarly tradition has investigated this question over many years, and what we have learned about the actual association between these variables remains inconclusive. As opposed to producing yet another empirical analysis of this hypothesized relationship, this art…
Norwegian Political Science in Norway and Abroad
In this article, we present a new dataset containing political science publications on Norwegian, European and international levels by authors affiliated with Norwegian institutions. 564 articles from 1999 to 2014 are coded according to a variety of variables. Using this dataset, we explore questions regarding who publishes and what is published in Norwegian political science. We confirm suspicions that publications in international journals ofte…
