Analytical Results

Abstract Based on both ECHR and CRC being incorporated into Norwegian law and underpinning the Child Welfare Act, this study aimed to clarify whether the current Norwegian practice is in systematic contradiction to human rights. The article is based on 94 Norwegian care orders comprising 117 children from newborn to 16 years old and analysis whether the child and parents’ right to contact are safeguarded in the care orders. Contradictions and dilemmas between Conventional rights and Norwegian practice are addressed. The article’s contribution presents analytical results, which describe the County Social Welfare Boards’ practice when issuing care orders. The result reinforces the suspicion that current Norwegian practice may be in systematic contradiction to human rights.

Downward Spiral

Americans today don’t trust each other and their institutions as much as they used to. The collapse of social and political trust arguably has fueled our increasingly ferocious ideological conflicts and hardened partisanship. But is the decline in trust inevitable? Are we caught in a downward spiral that must end in war-like politics, institutional decay, and possibly even civil war? This book argues that American political and economic institutions are capable of creating and maintaining trust, even through polarized times. Combining philosophical arguments and empirical data, the author shows that liberal democracy, markets, and social welfare programs all play a vital role in producing social and political trust. Even more, these institutions can promote trust justly, by recognizing and respecting our basic human rights.
