The compromises between the regulated and the non-regulated are not made on the open marketplace.

But nothing had had any consequences. The parenthesis simply ended, and development continued. Reason and compromises returned.

Om forventningerne, kampene, ydmygelserne, nederlagene – om kompromisserne, både dem systemet fordrede og dem, hun selv havde føjet til.

About the expectations, the battles, the humiliations, the defeats - and about the compromises, both those which the system demanded and those she had added herself.

Freud mente, at egoets rolle i individet er at skabe kompromiser mellem individets egne, indre behov og omverdenens krav, hvilket formuleres som, at egoet skaber kompromiser mellem idet og superegoet.

2012, Jacob Alsted, Ledelse og medarbejdere, Samfundslitteratur, →ISBN, page 117:

Freud believed that the role of the ego within the individual is to make compromises between the individual's own, inner needs and those of the surrounding world, which is formulated as the ego making compromises between the id and the superego.

Og arbejdsmarkedsmodeller - som den danske - er historisk udviklet inden for en nationalstatslig ramme og med udgangspunkt i de interessekonstellationer og kompromiser, som nationalstaten tilvejebragte.

2009, Martin Marcussen, Karsten Ronit, Globaliseringens udfordringer: politiske og administrative processer under pres, Hans Reitzels Forlag, →ISBN, page 120:

And models of the labour market - such as the Danish one - have, historically, developed within the framework of a nation-state and having, as starting points, the constellations of interest and compromises that the nation-state gave rise to.

Personligt mener jeg, at kompromiser som beslutningsgrundlag er noget hø.

2016, Hugo Gaarden, Humphrey Lau, Slå den røde dronning: En personlig fortælling om at lede danske virksomheder i Kina, Gyldendal A/S, →ISBN:

Personally, I feel that compromises as foundation of decision-making is bullshit.

Fordi dramaets værste fjende er kompromisset, og København efterhånden er kompromissets højborg.

1972, Willy-August Linnemann, Sønderjyllands fremtid:

Because the worst enemy of drama is compromise, and Copenhagen has, by degrees, become the stronghold of compromise.

Jeg har aldrig fattet Kompromissets Aand - hvo som ikke er helt med, er imod.

I have never understood the spirit of compromise - whoever is not entirely with, is against.

Men som forbillede for et politisk parti i et land, hvor det stort set altid er kompromissets kunst og de små sejre, der giver indflydelsen, kan han være ganske problematisk.

2011, Nikolaj Bøgh, Brødrene Møller - Historien om et konservativt dynasti, Lindhardt og Ringhof, →ISBN:

But as idol of a political party in a country, where it is almost always the art of compromise and the small victories, that give influence, he can be quite problematic.

Kompromissets Kerne var, at Sydslesvigerne selv fører deres Synspunkter og Ønsker frem saavel i London som i Berlin (overfor Besættelsesmagternes Kontrolkommission), medens Danmark sender sit eget Memorandum til London.

1946, Emil Frederiksen, Gads danske magasin:

The core of the compromise was that the South-Schleswigers present their views and wishes in London and in Berlin (before the control commission of the occupying forces), whereas Denmark sends its own memorandum to London.
