Self-regulation. Can it work? Experience from the kindergarden in Norway
The article describes and evaluates municipal supervision of kindergartens, which has increased in line with the expansion of kindergartens. The current governance model, by which supervision and ownership roles are integrated within the municipality, provides a good balance between the rule of law, on the one hand, and efficiency and democracy, on the other. For some stakeholders, the dual role raises intractable challenges to the rule of law, including equal treatment of public and private kindergartens. However, there is reason to believe that goal and cost effectiveness will suffer if responsibility for the supervision of kindergartens is moved to state level, e.g. the county governor. The article argues that the scope for self-regulation is greater today, particularly in the education and health care sectors. Municipalities being delegated more supervisory responsibility would require that the state, in practice the county governor, had the power to act and the methods for good «meta-control». Municipalities that did not meet their responsibilities might be faced with sanctions, ultimately the task being taken away from them and moved to another municipality or to the county governor.Keywords: efficiensy, democracy, rule of law, supervision

Ved lokalvalgene i 2011 deltok 64,5 prosent av norske velgere; en økning på knappe 3 prosentpoeng fra 2007-valget. Mange konkluderte da med at terrorangrepene 22. juli ikke hadde påvirket deltakelsen i nevneverdig grad. Ved ...
SammendragEngelsk sammendragYouth turnout in the 2011 Norwegian local elections
In the Norwegian Local Elections of 2011, 64.5 percent of eligible voters turned out to vote; an increase of less than 3 percentage points since the previous election in 2007. This was seen as a disappointing outcome for those who expected turnout to increase dramatically in the wake of the July 22 terrorist attacks. This article takes a closer look at a group of voters whom there is reason to believe was especially affected by the terrorist attacks: the young. We find that the election mobilized young voters. We argue that the terrorist attacks as well as a trial in some municipalities with a reduced voting age to 16 led to the positive trend in youth turnout. We further find that turnout varies between age cohorts. The age group that for the most part are high school students (16 through 18) have relatively high turnout, and there is a sharp drop in turnout among those in their early twenties. Turnout then rises with age in the subsequent age cohorts.Nøkkelord: Election turnout, terror, voting age, youth
