Hilmar Rommetvedt

Vil man påvirke den offentlige politikken, må man bygge allianser med andre aktører og interessegrupper. For å legitimere og få gjennomslag for politiske standpunkter må man vise at disse også ivaretar mer allmenne hensyn. I denne boken viser Hilmar Rommetvedt hvordan allmenngjøring og alliansebygging er viktige faktorer i politikkens virkemåte i et samfunn preget av større åpenhet, økt mangfold og sterkere samordningsbehov. Med sin tese om politikkens allmenngjøring i et nypluralistisk demokrati sammenfatter forfatteren mange års forskning om utviklingen i norsk politikk. Denne fjerde utgaven av Politikkens allmenngjøring er utvidet med nye opplysninger om stortingskomitéenes rolle og et nytt kapittel om interesseorganisasjonenes innflytelse. I tillegg er opplysningene om politiske institusjoner, aktører og prosesser gjennomgående oppdatert. Hilmar Rommetvedt er statsviter, cand. polit. fra Universitetet i Oslo og dr. polit. fra Universitetet i Bergen. Han har bl.a. vært forsker ved Rogalandsforskning/International Research Institute of Stavanger, LOS-senteret i Bergen og NORCE Norwegian Research Centre, og professor II ved Universitetet i Stavanger. Rommetvedt har publisert en rekke vitenskapelige artikler og bøker om politiske institusjoner og prosesser, deriblant Parliamentary Committees in the Policy Process (2022, red. sammen med Sven T. Siefken) og The Rise of the Norwegian Parliament (2003).

Sport Policy: a comparative analysis of stability and change builds on the growing general interest in the comparative study of sport policy and the more specific interest in processes of policy change and issues associated with policy convergence. In stark contrast to many other areas of public policy such as education, personal welfare and health care there is a paucity of theoretically informed comparative studies in sport. Over recent years there has been a steady increase in public investment in sport and frequently, as a consequence, a sharper debate about how public resources should be used. However, there has been little analysis of the factors that shape the generation of domestic sport policy and little attempt to identify the variables that might influence the policy process. Sport Policy: a comparative analysis of stability and change provides a theoretically informed analysis of the sports systems in Canada, England, Germany and Norway. These economically advanced countries are carefully selected to enable the investigation of the significance of variables and because they share a number of socio-economic and sports-related characteristics, which provides the text with a unique breadth and depth of coverage. This text is a vital addition to the general paucity of literature in this area and is written by an internationally renowned author team.
