Innstillingenes

Innstillingenes is a grammatical form in Norwegian, typically understood as the genitive plural of innstillingen, the definite singular term meaning a formal recommendation or proposal issued by a committee or other governmental body. The base term innstilling denotes a reasoned proposal, often prepared after studying a matter and intended for consideration by a higher deliberative body.

In parliamentary and municipal practice, an innstilling is produced by a committee or ministry to present its assessment of a bill, policy issue, or budget item and to propose a course of action. The document commonly includes the committee’s reasoning, relevant references, and a concrete proposal for decisions or amendments. The innstilling is debated and may be amended or rejected by the elected assembly, such as the Storting in Norway or a city council.

Content and structure typically cover: a summary of the issue, legal and financial implications, the committee’s conclusions, and the recommended resolutions or amendments. The term innstilling the plural is innstillinger, while the possessive plural is usually innstillingenes in modern Norwegian; the form innstillingenes is encountered less commonly and is often regarded as an older or less standard variant.

Beyond politics, innstilling can also refer to attitudes or stances in some contexts, though this usage is much less common than its parliamentary sense. In most contemporary sources, innstillingene and innstillingenes are used in reference to formal recommendations and their possessive forms.
