About the Blog
This blog contains comments and reviews of Danish and Swedish politics – and on occasion other countries – notes on political science and comments about social or research matters.
All views presented here are my own and not those of my employer or any of my colleagues (at the time they were written).
The blog is aimed at some of my colleagues who for one reason or another can’t follow developments in Scandinavia on a daily basis so you may not find too many rants here.
The blog has no posting policy as such: Occasionally I’ll post a bunch of entries during one day, occasionally there will be some days between posts, but I try to post whenever something interesting happens in one of the two countries and I have the time to write a comment.
I generally try to use British English spelling. Date and time formats are defined by the blog software.
Outside of the Inside?
The blog should have a tag-line and as I’m not a political insider, this seemed a good choice. It is not inspired by the Richard Thompson song, however.
Earlier tag-lines have been “Views from the periphery” (from when I lived in UmeÃ¥) and “Notes of a trailer-park political scientist” (from when I worked at the SDU where the Dept. of Political Science is housed in, if not a mobile home, then in a bunch of containers placed on one of the parking lots.
The Blogroll
These days I mainly use Google Reader to follow new posts. The blog-roll and list of links is in no way complete and there is no reason to despair if your blog or homepage is not listed: I may be reading it anyway. Use the Google Reader-links for academia and politics to get a slightly better picture of my reading.
Note: WordPress 3.1 has blitzed the Google Reader-widgets on the side-bar and the link-rolls. We shall see if either Google or WordPress get the things working again.
Comments to posts
You are welcome to leave a comment but please note that all comments will be moderated before they can appear on the blog. If I’m travelling, please allow some days – or even weeks – for your comment to appear.
I generally allow comments but will delete comments that are irrelevant, insulting or problematic for legal reasons.
To restrict the amount of spam comments, comments will be closed automatically ten days after an entry is posted. Please mail me if you have a question or a comment regarding a post with closed comments.
Spam comments will be deleted by Akismet or manually.
