På tide å tenke nytt om Iran
Get PDFDet overordnede målet for USAs såkalte "maximum pressure"-strategi har vært å fremforhandle en bedre atomavtale med Iran, samt å svekke både Teherans innflytelse i Midtøsten og ayatollah Khameneis grep om makten. Men har strategien vært vellykket i å oppnå dette?På tide å tenke nytt om IranpublishedVersio

Introduction: 25 Years of Hard EEA Work: From Waiting Room to Permanent Feature?
No full textI denne introduksjonsartikkelen viser Ulf Sverdrup at Norge er blitt forandret gjennom EØS-avtalen, men også hvordan den med sine mangler og svakheter i all hovedsak har vært en suksess, og at Norges avtaler i det store og hele har ivaretatt norske interesser. Flertallet har ganske enkelt funnet alternativene til EØS-avtalen mer usikre og mindre attraktive. Forfatteren ser nærmere på hvordan en avtale som opprinnelig var ment som et venterom for medlemskap, kunne bli et permanent oppholdssted. Mens selve hoveddelen av EØS-avtalen knapt er endret, har det samtidig vært betydelig dynamikk og endring, både gjennom geografisk utvidelse og fordypning av samarbeidet. I denne artikkelen skisseres noen av de viktigste utviklingstrekkene i perioden. Samtidig introduseres de ulike bidragene til spalten.In this introductory article, Ulf Sverdrup shows that Norway has been transformed through the EEA Agreement. In spite of its shortcomings and weaknesses, the EEA Agreement has been successful as it has provided a stable framework for cooperation with the EU and has safeguarded Norwegian interests. Throughout the 25-year period, the political majority have simply found the alternatives to the EEA Agreement more uncertain and less attractive. The author examines how an agreement that was originally intended as a waiting room for membership could end up becoming a permanent feature. It is also observed that while the main part of the EEA Agreement has remained largely unchanged, there has been considerable dynamism and change in the agreement, both through the geographical expansion of the EEA and through the deepening of the cooperation. This article outlines and discusses some of the most important dynamics and introduces the other contributions to this special issue.publishedVersio

Forebygging av Krig og Konflikt i Cyberdomenet
Get PDFCyberdomenet representerer kanskje en av vår tids største trusler mot internasjonal fred og sikkerhet men er viet lite oppmerksomhet hva gjelder forebyg- ging av krig og konflikt. Det er behov for internasjon- ale forpliktende kjøreregler som hever blikket over IKT-forvaltning, digitalisering og cybersikkerhetstil- tak og fokuserer på fredelige relasjoner mellom sta- ter i cyberdomenet. Skal en slik diskusjon ha effekt må den tas i FNs Sikkerhetsråd.publishedVersio
Norway and the changing Common Foreign and Security Policy of the European Union
Get PDFFor decades, Norway has cooperated with the European Union in matters of foreign policy, security and defence. It has thus participated in EU civilian and military operations, aligned itself with EU political declarations and restrictive measures against states and/or individuals, and collaborated with the European Defence Agency. Unlike other frameworks of cooperation between the EU and Norway, such as the EEA and Schengen agreements, the cooperation in foreign policy, security and defence does not rely on a single setup, with elaborate institutional arrangements and dynamic obligations. Rather, Norway joins forces with the Union in an ad hoc fashion and often based on informal arrangements. This allows for flexibility, but also entails that Norway has few formal channels for exerting influence on EU CFSP decisions to which it subsequently subscribes. Against this backdrop, and as the EU has become more active in this policy area, Norway has shown a renewed interest in deepening its relationship with the Union in CFSP matters. This report examines the ways in which Norway can enhance its cooperation and develop its institutional arrangements with the EU in this fast-evolving field. The discussion is based on an assessment of what the EU is able to offer in view of its constitutional framework, as informed by its on-going discussions with the UK on a future security partnership post-Brexit. Given the increasing interactions between the CFSP and other fields of the EU’s activities, the analysis also discusses whether Norway may draw a cooperation dividend from its participation in the single market through the EEA, to build a deeper and more participatory cooperation with the EU in CFSP matters. The report envisages four possible ways of enhancing the Norway-EU cooperation in the area CFSP: an extension of the present cooperation by ad hoc participation in new CFSP initiatives, a more active use of other existing EU-Norway frameworks of cooperation including the EEA, the setting up of a distinct EU-Norway CFSP agreement and the participation in a multilateralised EU-UK CFSP partnership.publishedVersio
