Norge har opplevd store endringer de siste fire tiår, med både velferdsstatens ekspansjon, utdanningsrevolusjon, migrasjon, kvinnefrigjøring, for å nevne noe. I denne perioden har også oljerikdommen blitt del av norsk økonomi og kultur. Denne boken ser på samfunnsendringene som har skjedd i kjølvannet av den raske økonomiske veksten i Norge. Forfatterne har spesielt sett på utviklingen i Stavanger-regionen, og brukt det som et prisme for sentrale utviklingstrekk i Norge. Samfunnsforhold som diskuteres er blant annet: sosial klasse og klasserelasjoner, forholdet mellom økonomisk og kulturell kapital, sosial mobilitet og klassereiser, rikdom og materialisme, betydningen av litteratur, billedkunst, arkitektur og hjeminnredning

In recent decades welfare states have expanded into the areas of leisure and cultural life, and sport has become more involved with politics and policymaking. Consequently, sport managers and representatives of sport organizations have to take into account more seriously what happens in politics. The sport sector is frequently characterized as a mirror image of the modernization process in society at large, but is it really so? Is sport a forerunner, latecomer, or a deviant case as compared with general political developments? The article compares recent changes in Norwegian sport and sport policy with general developments in Norwegian politics. The study is based on a five-dimensional scheme of analysis including: concentration versus dispersion of private and public power, executive-legislative relations, corporatism versus lobbyism, and generalisation of interests and coalition building. The scheme of analysis may be fruitful for cross-national comparative analyses.

At the end of 1993 there was carried out an investigation on the extent of doping in Norwegian gyms. The main results from the investigation are: Around 2% use or have used drugs and 20% reported knowledge of other using drugs at the gym. In this article we discuss the methodology that was used and the findings from the investigation in relation to other surveys, both Norwegian and foreign studies. The findings are also basis for a more sociological discussion on doping and modern sport. In this section we discuss how big problem doping in sport in reality is, and what type of problem issues drug use in sport raises.

Das International Social Survey Programme (ISSP) ist ein länderübergreifendes, fortlaufendes Umfrageprogramm, das jährlich Erhebungen zu Themen durchführt, die für die Sozialwissenschaften wichtig sind. Das Programm begann 1984 mit vier Gründungsmitgliedern - Australien, Deutschland, Großbritannien und den Vereinigten Staaten - und ist inzwischen auf fast 50 Mitgliedsländer aus aller Welt angewachsen. Da die Umfragen auf Replikationen ausgelegt sind, können die Daten sowohl für länder- als auch für zeitübergreifende Vergleiche genutzt werden. Jedes ISSP-Modul konzentriert sich auf ein bestimmtes Thema, das in regelmäßigen Zeitabständen wiederholt wird. Details zur Durchführung der nationalen ISSP-Umfragen entnehmen Sie bitte der Dokumentation. Die vorliegende Studie konzentriert sich auf Fragen zu Freizeitaktivitäten und Sport.
