Titel 2 Criterias of democracy & voters' rights

In this topic, we will be looking at Ronald Dahls cretieria for what defines a good democracy. The aim will be to understand how democracy is measured.

We will then use this knowlegde later to
1) look into civil rights and the Danish constitution and compare it to the US Constitution.
2) Make empirical analysis/research and look at the status of democarcy in the world using sites like: freedom house and transparancy internaitonal.
3) We will be looking into different electoral systems, citenzenship and the posibilities of how citezens can have influence on national politics.
4) We will make a critical investigation of modern "massmedia" and its political weight in the modern, Danish democracy. Here we will look into what we as citizens should expect from our media (the five news criteria + the media's role as democracy's "guard dog").

Finally, we will also will take a look at UN's Goals of the World as well as citezens rights.

As a part of this topic we will also have an excursion to the Danish Parliament (Folketinget).

Titel 4 Denmark and the global economy

In this course we explore key conditions in the global economy and more particularly we focus on the consequences for Denmark’s growth and prosperity in a globalized world.

We will explore the opportunities and threats of globalisation for Danish companies and jobs. In order to do so, we must be familiar with general conditions in the global economy. This also implies that we must address the significance of economic integration and the ongoing economic crisis in the European Union.

All these aspects will qualify the discussion of policies which may be conducted in order to improve Danish competitiveness, increase growth and create new jobs in Denmark – in the short term and long term.
