European Political Parties and Party Finance Reform
This book provides a comprehensive overview of the party finance regime at the level of the European Union. Based on an in-depth analysis of the interaction between European political parties and their institutional environment, it shows how the Europarties have coped with – and altered – the funding rules. The book explains why increasing party subsidies have been made available, and why considerable differences exist in how Eurosceptic and pro-European parties have used their EU funding. It also examines how party finance reform at the EU level has been at the centre of party competition, by demonstrating how the rules were strategically changed to benefit some European parties over others. Considering the strong democratic aspirations that lay at the origins of the finance regime, the book explores its consequences for party democracy and the rule of law in Europe. This book is valuable for scholars working on the European Parliament, Eurosceptic parties, EU decision-making, (European) party politics and political finance.
Mediating and Remediating Death
From the ritual object which functions as a substitute for the dead - thus acting as a medium for communicating with the ‘other world’ - to the representation of death, violence and suffering in media, or the use of online social networks as spaces of commemoration, media of various kinds are central to the communication and performance of death-related socio-cultural practices of individuals, groups and societies. This second volume of the Studies in Death, Materiality and Time series explores the ways in which such practices are subject to ‘re-mediation’; that is to say, processes by which well-known practices are re-presented in new ways through various media formats. Presenting r...
Variation in Nominal Possessive Expressions
This book is an account of the variation between two possessive constructions in Danish and Swedish: the s-genitive (husets tak ‘the house’s roof’), and the prepositional construction (taket på huset ‘the roof of the house’). Present-day corpus data, as well as historical data (texts from 1250–1550) are explored. Through statistical and qualitative analysis, various factors that influence the choice between the two constructions are identified. The book offers new data on the genitive variation in Danish and Swedish. The approach is also novel as two closely related Scandinavian languages are compared from both a historical and a contemporary perspective.
The Far Right and the Environment
At the beginning of the twenty-first century, both the crisis of liberal democracy, as visible in, for example, the rise of far-right actors in Europe and the United States, and environmental crises, from declining biodiversity to climate change, are increasingly in the public spotlight. Whilst both areas have been analysed extensively on their own, The Far Right and the Environment: Politics, Discourse and Communication provides much needed insights into their intersection by illuminating the environmental communication of far-right party and non-party actors in Europe and the United States. Although commonly perceived as a ‘left-wing’ issue today, concerns over the natural environment ...
Glimt af Amerika
Der findes ikke nogen formel på Amerika. Ingen enkel måde at definere landet eller dets indbyggere. Men skal man alligevel gøre forsøget, må det være at sige, at USA er kontrasternes land. Stedet med ubegribelig rigdom, skønhed og glamour. Stedet, hvor drømme kan blive til virkelighed, og hvor træerne næsten vokser helt ind i himlen. Men samtidig også stedet, hvor millioner lever under fattigdomsgrænsen, og hvor grundlaget for din eksistens kan styrte i grus, hvis du mister dit arbejde. Det er landet, der på godt og ondt sætter den internationale dagsorden, både politisk, økonomisk og kulturelt. Og landet, hvis præsident kaldes verdens mægtigste mand. Formålet med denne bo...
Broadway Musicals, 1943-2004
On March 31, 1943, the musical Oklahoma! premiered and the modern era of the Broadway musical was born. Since that time, the theatres of Broadway have staged hundreds of musicals--some more noteworthy than others, but all in their own way a part of American theatre history. With more than 750 entries, this comprehensive reference work provides information on every musical produced on Broadway since Oklahoma's 1943 debut. Each entry begins with a brief synopsis of the show, followed by a three-part history: first, the pre-Broadway story of the show, including out-of-town try-outs and Broadway previews; next, the Broadway run itself, with dates, theatres, and cast and crew, including replacements, chorus and understudies, songs, gossip, and notes on reviews and awards; and finally, post-Broadway information with a detailed list of later notable productions, along with important reviews and awards.
Danmarks børn i hellig krig
Mindst 130 danskere er ifølge Politiets Efterretningstjeneste draget i hellig krig i Syrien. Hvem er de, og hvorfor gør de det? Hvad er det, der driver unge mennesker, født og opvokset i velfærdsstatens trygge vugge, ud på ekstremismens overdrev og ind i borgerkrigen, hvor mange mister livet i kamp eller ofrer det som selvmordsbombere? I kraft af et enestående kildemateriale og -netværk kortlægger Jakob Sheikh de radikaliserede miljøer og fordyber sig i de danske syrienskrigeres historie; de er ikke nødvendigvis ressourcesvage, opvokset på samfundets bund, men taler flydende dansk, navigerer hjemmevant i det danske samfund og er rundet af det danske uddannelsessystem. Med andre ord: De er børn af Danmark.
