Book excerpt: Denmark is a constitutional monarchy, consisting of Denmark, Greenland and the Faroe Islands. Greenland and the Faroe Islands are not members of the EU. The Danish judicial system is based on the traditions of civil law as in continental Europe and is more or less divided into private law and public law. In general, rules and legal principles are organised in a number of codes. The Danish labour market is to a very large extent covered by collective agreements. The collective agreements cover areas such as wages and parental leave rights. Collective agreements accordingly play a significant role in the legal landscape regarding work-related issues. The collective agreements must comply with the principle of non-discrimination. The system of courts has a unified structure. Thus, there are no special courts of law. Several specialised complaints boards are present under Danish law. In 2009 the Board of Equal Treatment was established. The board handles individual complaints on all grounds of discrimination. Decisions from the complaint board can be appealed to the courts. The administration of courts in Denmark is mainly regulated by the Administration of Justice Act. According to the Danish civil law tradition, written legislation is one important legal source. Court decisions are also considered important sources of law. In Denmark the Minister for Gender Equality is responsible for all activities in the field of gender equality and the ministry co-ordinates the equality work of other ministries.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although European policy initiatives to advance the position of women in Academia (and especially in science) have proliferated, both at national and EU levels, serious inequities of many kinds remain. This situation is exposed and investigated in this outstanding book, which presents reports and discussions from a two-day conference held at the Law Faculty of Lund University in December 2004. The participants and– law professors and social scientists and– present detailed reports on domestic experiences and regulations in eight European countries: Denmark, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, the Netherlands, Sweden, and the United Kingdom. Among the many provocative issues raised and explored are the following: and• and“positive actionand” in theory and practice and• the progress of the EU Commission's strategy to integrate equal opportunity into all Community policies and activities and• the motives for promoting women in Academia and• the importance not only of setting targets but of funding to achieve them and• the extensive group of part-timers and fixed-term employees at the margin of the traditional academic career and• the importance of creating a situation in Academia where and“woman excellenceand” shows and• the development of and“marketableand” research disciplines embodied in private research institutes With its penetrating analysis of its subjectand– women in Academia in Europeand– and its many keen insights into the possibilities within Community equality law to move forward quickly and effectively toward equity in academic positions for women and men, Women in Academia and Equality Law will be read avidly and put to use by committed lawyers, academics, and policymakers throughout the EU countries.

Book excerpt: Denmark is a constitutional monarchy, consisting of Denmark, Greenland and the Faroe Islands. Greenland and the Faroe Islands are not members of the European Union. The Danish judicial system is based on the traditions of civil law as in continental Europe. In general, rules and legal principles are organised in a number of codes. Approximately 80 % of the Danish labour market is covered by collective agreements. Collective agreements cover areas such as wages and parental leave rights. Thus, collective agreements play a significant role in the legal landscape regarding work-related issues. The agreements are concluded by the labour market parties themselves and the state is not party or in any other way involved in such agreements. A special arbitration panel as well as the Labour Court have been set up by the state in order to assist in solving conflicts in the labour market. Specific legislation concerning employees in general has mainly been passed as part of the process of implementing the European Union directives. The Danish welfare model is to a large extent funded by general taxes. Regulation and interpretation of social security benefits are tied to the Parliament; courts, in their interpretation of regulations, often follow the intent of the legislators. This suggests that judicial interpretations of the legislation are very closely linked to the preparatory work. In addition to the court system, there are several specialised administrative complaint boards in Denmark. The Board of Equal Treatment (the Equality Board) was established in 2009. The board handles individual complaints on all grounds of discrimination. Decisions of the Equality Board can be brought before the courts.

Download or read book Outsourcing Legal Aid in the Nordic Welfare States written by Olaf Halvorsen Rønning and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-12-21 with total page 345 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is open access under a CC BY 4.0 license. This edited collection provides a comprehensive analysis of the differences and similarities between civil legal aid schemes in the Nordic countries whilst outlining recent legal aid transformations in their respective welfare states. Based on in-depth studies of Norway, Sweden, Finland, Denmark, and Iceland, the authors compare these cases with legal aid in Europe and the US to examine whether a single, unique Nordic model exists. Contextualizing Nordic legal aid in relation to welfare ideology and human rights, Hammerslev and Halvorsen Rønning consider whether flaws in the welfare state exist, and how legal aid affects disadvantaged citizens. Concluding that the five countries all have very different legal aid schemes, the authors explore an important general trend: welfare states increasingly outsourcing legal aid to the market and the third sector through both membership organizations and smaller voluntary organizations. A methodical and compassionate text, this book will be of special interest to scholars and students of the criminal justice, the welfare state, and the legal aid system.

Download or read book Human Rights in National Administrative Law written by Ayo Næsborg-Andersen and published by Djoef Publishing. This book was released on 2015 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Human rights are increasingly debated in the public sphere, yet human rights law - at least in the case of Denmark - is traditionally all but invisible in the discussions on national administrative law. This book sets out to analyze if, and in what way, the application of human rights law is visible in the case law of institutions performing reviews of Danish administrative decisions. The first section of the book provides an introduction, a research question, the methodological considerations, and the delimitations. The second section is an in-depth look at the theory of empowerment and legal capability, coupled with an analysis of how this theory is supported by international and national law. The final section contains an analysis of cases from both the Danish Parliamentary Ombudsman and the Danish Equality Board, applying a model of analysis developed using the theory of legal capability and communication theories. Discussing new ways of analyzing the application of human rights, the book will be relevant for scholars and professionals primarily working with human rights law, but also with administrative law, both nationally and internationally. [Subject: Danish Law, Human Rights Law, Administrative Law, Legal Capability Theory, Communication Theory]

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This little, easy-to-read book will help Americans understand their Danish colleagues better. It is a companion volume to the author’s previous book, “Working with Americans: Tips for Danes.” If you’re an American who is about to do business in Denmark or with Danes, the Danish colleagues you will meet probably know a lot more about your country than you do about theirs. In fact, Americans often hear descriptions of Denmark that are not entirely correct. It is neither a socialist hellhole or a socialist paradise; instead, it’s a capitalist social welfare state, where voters have agreed to be taxed very highly in return for universal health care and tuition-free universities. Having the social welfare state as a backup influences the way Danes act in the workplace. Subordinates aren’t as dependent on their bosses as they are in some other cultures, so lower-level employees won’t perform a task just because the boss says so. Instead, they expect to be allowed to influence the assignment based on their own expertise, and carry it out independently without a lot of micromanagement. They may also jump over several levels of hierarchy to tell the top boss how they think the organization could operate more efficiently. One of the major differences between Danish business culture and US business culture is that Danes don’t need the kind of positive reinforcement that is common in the US. From their point of view, someone doing a job correctly requires no applause; comments are only necessary when something goes wrong. This can make Danes seem grumpy and negative to their American colleagues. This book will give you important insights into Danish business culture and Danish business etiquette and help you improve your interaction with your colleagues and counterparts in Denmark.

Download or read book Responsible Selves written by Kevat Nousiainen and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-12-20 with total page 520 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This title was first published in 2001. In the Nordic countries women are considered equal to men. Advanced social and economic rights are often given as the explanation for the equality. In this volume, Nordic feminist legal scholars give a more contradictory image of gender equality. The gendered construction of the legal subject and the legal understanding of gender have a two-pronged potential, both to change and to reproduce gender relations. Nordic women have been considered responsible for upholding the gendered social system - as "responsible selves" rather than as individuals engaged in rights discourse. The authors claim, with examples, that the belief in equality has made certain discriminative practices difficult to recognize and conceptualize. Also a transformation of the social welfare system puts the collective equality policies to the test.
