It takes two to tango
This study explores collaboration between politicians and planners in strategic planning and examines how digital tools, such as digital twins, influence this interaction. Based on semi-structured interviews and observations from a digital twin workshop in the Ålesund region, findings reveal a clear separation between the two groups, reflecting their roles as distinct communities in strategic planning. While digital tools can enhance communicatio…
Does the media seem more hostile to losers? Media bias perceptions among politicians in the wake of Norwegian municipal mergers
This article examines how politicians’ perceptions of media coverage are influenced by their emergence as winners or losers of political battles. Based on a survey of 3, 378 Norwegian councillors regarding municipal mergers, we found that although all councillors tended to perceive their opponents’ perspectives on the merger as dominating the public debate, this tendency was significantly stronger among those who had lost council votes regarding …
A missed opportunity to implement a 3D digital twin in strategic planning in the Ålesund region, Norway
While there have been academic discussions regarding the strategic and relational shift in spatial planning, and the potential of digital geospatial planning support systems (PSS) in this regard, the integration between these two has been given less attention. Understanding the obstacles associated with this integration is crucial to enhance strategic spatial planning and the utilization of geospatial PSS in this respect. To address this gap, the…
When do consultative referendums improve democracy? Evidence from local referendums in Norway
Consultative referendums may provide crucial information about public opinion but have received little attention in the literature compared with their binding counterparts. In this article, we analyse 221 Norwegian local consultative referendums on municipal amalgamation using the Venice Commission’s code on referendums. Much of the referendum literature suggests that consultative referendums are in fact binding. The municipal councils followed t…
The 2019 local and regional elections in Norway
The 2019 local and regional elections in Norway took place against the backdrop of a historical local and regional amalgamation reform initiated by the Conservative-led government in 2014. We find six key outcomes from these elections. (1) The 2019 election witnessed an increase in turnout of 4.5 percentage points compared with the 2015 elections. This is the highest voter turnout in local and regional elections since 1991. (2) The four parties i…

The 2015 Norwegian Local Elections
Two years into the first term of the right wing Conservative/Progress Party coalition government, the 2015 Norwegian local elections displayed many features of a 'second-order' election: the governing parties lost considerable support, minor parties did well and voter turnout was low. For the second local elections in a row, political circumstances prevented the far right Progress Party from mobilizing on the anti-immigration issue, adding to the…
