A short but engaging look at how nations have succeeded and failed at welfare. In Welfare, political scientist Carsten Jensen examines how the Danish welfare model leads to some of the highest levels of happiness, education, and health in the world. He argues that this welfare model is a success story because it has created a remarkable level of equality and forged strong links between people and public institutions. Jensen probes four central questions about this model: Why do Danes support the welfare state? Which historic events and people have enabled such intimate links to arise between the state and welfare? How much welfare do Danes actually get? And finally, how has Denmark been able to combine welfare and wealth, and how viable will this model be in the future? In Reflections, a series copublished with Denmark's Aarhus University Press, scholars deliver 60-page reflections on key concepts. These books present unique insights on a wide range of topics that entertain and enlighten readers with exciting discoveries and new perspectives.

Discusses how other countries can emulate Scandinavia's successes.

Life Cycle Risks and the Politics of the Welfare State presents the dual risk model of the welfare state. Previous research in the field has predominantly studied the role of modernization and the associated labor market risks; this book gives equal weight to a different class of social risks, namely those related to the life cycle. Labor market and life cycle risks each have profound, but distinct consequences for the political process of the welfare state, including public opinion formation, party competition, and public policy-making. The dual risk model helps us to understand why some social programs are prioritized over others in terms of political attention and public spending - and how this prioritization leads to mounting economic inequalities in modern-day societies.

The book presents the dual risk model of the welfare state. The book relates the two types of risks to the political process of the welfare state, which encompass public opinion formation, party competition, and public policy- making.

"Dispatched to fight the Taliban as part of the NATO forces, the soldiers of the Third Platoon arrive in a desert hell intent on testing their courage and endurance. Among them are the charismatic platoon leader Schrøder, a former games designer fascinated by the imaginative potential of war; Colonel Steffensen, whose negotiating tactics will have deadly consequences; Sidekick, the LifeLogger whose online "war memorial" will blur into horror; and the hardened but vulnerable Hannah, who must bury her womanhood - or sacrifice her soul. Confronted by a betrayal that no military training could prepare them for, the soldiers must embark on a desperate mission to track down an enemy whose methods are as murderous as they are unfathomable. As the hunters become the hunted, the mission turns into a depraved, hallucinatory voyage into an Afghanistan they never knew existed. With the Third Platoon's most fundamental notions of good and evil called into question, survival becomes their only mission. "--Publisher description.

The book explores the welfare state policies implemented by both conservative and liberal governments, challenging the prevailing belief that these parties merely oppose the Left's welfare initiatives. It introduces a new theory that re-evaluates their roles and contributions, suggesting a more nuanced understanding of how these political ideologies engage with welfare state dynamics.

The narrative revolves around the life and work of Carsten, a dedicated scholar in the history of science, particularly focusing on beta decay. His relationships with colleagues—Finn, Relge, Roger, and Erik—highlight his role as a friend and intellectual resource. Following Carsten's untimely death, Erik, his main advisor, honors his memory by authoring this book, which aims to fulfill Carsten's vision of expanding his Ph.D. dissertation into a comprehensive exploration of its historical significance and connections within the field.

Spannende Weitererzählung einzelner Schicksale aus 'Wir Ertrunkenen' Der geachtete Marinemaler Carl Rasmussen aus Marstal bricht 1893 nach Grönland auf. Er will noch einmal die Kraft spüren, die ihn vor vielen Jahren in der Eiswüste durchströmte und ihn die Seele seiner Malerei erkennen ließ. Doch im Licht des Nordens begreift er, dass er seine Unschuld längst verloren und seinen Erfolg auf Lebenslügen gebaut hat. Mitte des 19. Jahrhunderts bricht der junge Carl Rasmussen zu einer Studienreise nach Grönland auf. Er ist der erste dänische Maler, der sich in die Eiswüste wagt und das Leben der Eskimos in seinen Bildern festhält. Hoch oben im Norden fasst er den Entschluss, gegen alle Hässlichkeit fortan nur noch 'Schönes' zu malen, denn mit seinen Bildern will er Menschen zusammenführen. Nach seiner Rückkehr lässt er sich auf der Insel Æro nieder und heiratet. Nur - glücklich wird er nicht. Je mehr Freunde seine Malerei findet, desto größer werden seine Selbstzweifel. Hat er sich ans Idyllische verkauft? Ist er ein harmloser Freilichtmaler geworden? Als alternder Mann reist Carl Rasmussen noch einmal nach Grönland, auf der Suche nach dem verlorenen Leben.

Nesourodá posádka dánských námořníků v roce 1848 vyplouvá z ostrovního městečka Marstal, aby čelila Němcům. Ne všichni se však z boje vrátí – a ti, co ano, už nikdy nebudou jako dřív.

Plavba ho zavede do nejvzdálenějších koutů světa a do spárů té nejhorší společnosti. Albert se vrací s tajemnou scvrklou hlavou a sužují ho neblahé předtuchy o krveprolití. V jeho rodném městě stále více a více velí ženy a mezi nimi je i vdova, jež chce všechny muže osvobodit od kruté nadvlády moře.

Etter å ha tilbakelagt Asia på sin reise jorden rundt, beveger Carsten Jensen seg videre mot øst. "Jeg har hørt et stjerneskudd" utgjør annen og siste del av den innkretsing av kloden, århundret og historien som ble innledet med "Jeg har sett verden begynne". Bøkene fikk umiddelbart klassikerstatus, og ble samlet nominert til Nordisk Råds litteraturpris for 1998. Fra det jungelkledde og stadig nesten fortidsaktige Ny Guinea går reisen over Stillehavets tropiske øyriker til Syd-Amerika, hvor veloppdragne fascister og nedbrutte gruvearbeidere, forsvunne indianerkulturer og politiske bombesprengninger inngår det samme store drama. Boken handler om menneskets lengsel etter Paradis og deres paradoksale skapervilje, om den uunngåelige konfrontasjonen med døden, og nødvendigheten av å tro på liv på Mars.
