The students will become acquainted with the most important institutions and political values in Danish society and they will meet some of the best scholars in these various fields.
This course is designed to for foreign students so that they become acquainted with sociological theories and empirical studies covering political culture and institutional - as well as alternative – forms of life in Denmark. In this respect the aim is to develop a critical understanding of the underlying values and political ideas in the Danish society, and how the society is continually re-shaping itself. More broadly, the course aims to draw the students’ attention to the complexities, problems and ambiguities of the "Danish Model". In addition to a basic understanding of the areas of Danish society covered in the course, the students should be able to exercise sociological reflection, and demonstrate skills in formulating research questions concerning sociological issues related to the functioning of Danish Society.
