[Advantages and uncertainties of social cohesion in Norway] - Social cohesion stands out as a major element of the "Norwegian model". Norway can even be seen as a sort of laboratory where one can measure both the positive and the negative effects of such a priority and examine its components. The Norwegian social-democratic model - i.e. economical and social policies aiming at reinforcing social cohesion - is largely a product of the remarkable ethnic and cultural homogeneity that has historically characterized Norway. Though this political strategy has generated considerable achievements, it would appear to be in jeopardy today. This study will examine three main questions: considering international movements of people, is it possible to maintain ethnic and cultural homogeneity in a country with an open market? As Norway faces growing international competition, is there not a risk that the adverse effects of social homogeneity will supersede its advantages? Lastly, will oil revenues be enough to finance the continuation of this Norwegian model despite perturbations associated with globalization? ; La cohésion sociale apparaît comme une caractéristique fondamentale du " modèle norvégien ". Ce pays constitue même une sorte de laboratoire en la matière, permettant de mesurer les effets à la fois positifs et négatifs d'une telle priorité, mais également de s'interroger sur ses composantes. L'homogénéité ethnique et culturelle qui caractérise historiquement la Norvège est dans une large mesure à l'origine du modèle social-démocrate norvégien, c'est-à-dire de politiques économiques et sociales visant à renforcer la cohésion sociale. Si cette stratégie a permis à la Norvège d'obtenir des performances exceptionnelles, elle semble aujourd'hui menacée. Surgissent ici trois interrogations majeures que nous examinerons : les mouvements internationaux de population ne rendent-ils pas problématique le maintien d'une homogénéité ethnique et culturelle dans un pays qui se caractérise par une économie largement ouverte ?

Family policy and fertility in Norway : a gender and class perspective.
What importance do young adults attribute to family policy arrangements in the choice about having children ? Does family policy feature differently in the reasoning among women and men and across social classes ? This qualitative study of 90 young adults in Norway finds that contrary to common expectations, young adults consider family policy arrangements being of little impact on their own choice to have a child. But this apparent insignificance paradoxically may be the strongest evidence of how crucial it actually is. The policy arrangements are being taken for granted, ingrained in young adults' horizon of expectations : Welfare state arrangements constitute a key foundation of the organisation of parenthood, based on a dual earner provider model.

In the three main Scandinavian countries (Denmark, Norway and Sweden), extreme and populist straight lines bring together parties and groups that are particularly diverse in their form and claims. Although there is a common ideological basis (patriotism, traditionalism, xenophobia, etc.), the glorification of national history is a recurring feature of their political discourse. The figure of the Viking here is a central place, although its representation and ideological function may vary from one movement to another. Based on the statements and publications of their actors, we will try to look at the relationship between myth viking and the definition of a national identity in these political trends, as well as its different manifestations. ; International audience In the three main Scandinavian countries (Denmark, Norway and Sweden), populist and extremist right-wing movements gather diversified parties and groups in their form and their claims. They may be characterized by a common ideological basis (patriotism, traditionalism, xenophobia.), but we can also state that the glorification of national history constitutes a recurring element of their political discourse. The figure of the Viking has thus a central place, although its representation and its ideological function may differ from a movement to another.
