From Party Politics to Personalized Politics?
What do Beppe Grillo, Silvio Berlusconi, Emmanuel Macron (and also Donald Trump) have in common? They are prime examples of the personalization of politics and the decline of political parties.

Leve havet
Midt på 2000-tallet jobber Statoil og Stoltenberg-regjeringen intenst med å få åpnet de forlokkende havområdene utenfor Lofoten, Vesterålen og Senja for oljeboring. Samtidig drar fiskeren Yngve Larsen ut på sjøen, mens han teller på knappene om han skal investere i en ny, litt større fiskebåt. Dét, skjønner han snart, kommer han ikke til å få bruk for. For hvis olja kommer, hva skjer da med det levende havet? Det kommende tiåret står fiskere og miljøvernere mot den norske politiske eliten og verdens mektigste industri. Det er en kamp som truer med å velte regjeringen og splitte lokalsamfunn og familier. Dette er fortellingen om hvordan en rekke små lokalsamfunn, nord for polarsirkelen, reiste seg til kamp, bygde en landsomfattende folkebevegelse, og vant. «Leve havet!» er en fortelling om håp. Det handler om Yngves kamp for å bevare levebrødet, lokalbefolkningens eksistensgrunnlag, fiskens overlevelse og - til syvende og sist - om å stanse klimaendringene og bevare verdiene som nordmenn alltid har levd av, og skal fortsette å leve av - lenge etter at oljen har tatt slutt.
A Global Doll's House
This book addresses a deceptively simple question: what accounts for the global success of A Doll’s House, Henrik Ibsen’s most popular play? Using maps, networks, and images to explore the world history of the play’s production, this question is considered from two angles: cultural transmission and adaptation. Analysing the play’s transmission reveals the social, economic, and political forces that have secured its place in the canon of world drama; a comparative study of the play’s 135-year production history across five continents offers new insights into theatrical adaptation. Key areas of research include the global tours of nineteenth-century actress-managers, Norway’s soft diplomacy in promoting gender equality, representations of the female performing body, and the sexual vectors of social change in theatre.
Bare gjør det
På innsiden av regjeringskontorene. I desember 2015 fikk Robert Eriksson avskjed i nåde etter to år som statsråd i Erna Solbergs regjering. I denne ærlige og åpenhjertige boka forteller han om hvordan og hvorfor han kom inn i politikken. For ham har det alltid handlet om å gjøre hverdagen enklere for folk flest, og om å bygge et velferdssamfunn som er til for dem som trenger det aller mest. Leseren får innblikk i hans hjertesaker, hans kamp for erstatning til nordsjødykkerne, foreldres rett til å være hjemme og pleie sine syke barn, motstanden han møtte da han moderniserte arbeidsmiljøloven og forsøket på å reformere NAV. Eriksson beskriver også FrPs vei fra å bli bombard...
