(Yes Primeminister, BBC)
THE REFLEXIVITY OF POLITICS
E V I D E N C E - B A S E D C O M M U N I C AT I O N S
13. What is the reflexivity politics?
• Democratic politics has always been a reflection of the public majority's perception
• Media has in the information age the power to interpret the perception of reality, and trough that
the power to steer the policy development. Media replaces class, family and culture as reference
for interpretation.
• The reflexive effects between media, public and politics becomes deciding for the policy
development.

14. Politics is shaped in a room of reflexivity
• Politics is developed in a reflexive space – involving the
public, the economy and execution of authority:
– The public governs policy development
• Public focus on weak/wrongful execution of power results in
demands for a new policy – demands for action
• Politics becomes a reflection of how
economic, legal, bureaucratic and political power is executed and
interpreted among the public
• The higher the symbolic value, the stronger the
political repercussions

15. Sir Humphrey: Something must be done!
Sir Humphreys political
syllogism*:
1. Something must be done
2. This is something
3. Therefore we must do it
* syllogism (Greek), A type of logical argument first studied by Aristotle, in which one proposition (the conclusion) is
inferred from two others (the premises) of a certain form. In a valid syllogism, the proposition follows as a logical
conclusion from the premises.

16. Consequence:
– There are only 22 percent of the members of Parliament who think it is the
political system who sets the political agenda. 71 percent think it is the
journalists and media who control the public debate.
– As much as 67 percent of the representatives answers that the media has great
or some influence when they are going to decide in a political case.
– Four percent of the representatives think it is economic interests which often set
the agenda, one present think it is NGOs

19. Strategic communications: Define the debate
What separates good communicators from the mediocre
is a conscious awareness of their own linguistic universe
which enables them to define debates
Cognitive linguistics seeks to understand the nature of
language, how we use it, and why we are convinced, by
exploring the unconscious.
“Framing is about getting a language that fits your
worldview. It is not just language. The ideas are
primary – and the language carries those ideas, evokes
those ideas.” (George Lakoff )

Statfjordfeltet er Norges og Nordsjøens største oljefelt som i tillegg til råolje produserer en betydelig andel naturgass. Som sådan har feltet representert en bærebjelke for Norge som oljenasjon gjennom 80- og 90-tallet, både økonomisk og teknologisk. Feltet er ett av de eldste på norsk sokkel. Geografisk ligger feltet i det såkalte Tampenområdet i den nordlige del av Nordsjøen. Det ligger ute i havet rett vest for munningen av Sognefjorden.Feltet ble oppdaget i 1974 av det amerikanske oljeselskapet Mobil. Statfjord ble erklært drivverdig i august 1974, og den første innretningen der – Statfjord A – startet produksjonen i 1979.Totalt har feltet produsert olje og gass for en bruttoverdi tilsvarende nær 1 050 milliarder kroner. Produksjonen har vært sterkt avtakende de siste årene, og det arbeides med planer som kan forlenge produksjonen i ca. 15 år til som et rent naturgassfelt.
