Den politiske ulikhetskrisen
Geopolitics and International Governance in the Arctic
The Arctic has been the object of heated political discussion in recent years as the region has evolved from a potential conflict zone during the Cold War to an arena for international cooperation immediately afterwards. Since the mid-2000s attention has once again focused on the conflict potential of the Arctic, this time related to its resources. This article looks at how the research literature balances its prospects. The literature on interna…

Towards a more peaceful world? A critical view
Contemporary scholars do not agree on whether there is a declining prospect of war and armed conflict. A substantial number of authors of quantitative studies have concluded that the current worldwide trend is towards peace. I argue that this conclusion builds on insufficient evidence and possibly on misleading categorisations. The complacent view on the contemporary international system is based on inadequate awareness of the changing patterns o…

Power and Democracy in Norway
The Norwegian Power and Democracy Project concluded that the parliamentary chain of government is weakened in every link; parties and election are less mobilizing; minority governments imply that the connection between election results and policy formation is broken; and elected assemblies have been suffering a notable loss of domain. Popular participation has moved from long‐term organisations and political parties to short‐term action groups an…
The eroding of representative democracy in Norway
The Norwegian Power and Democracy Study concluded that representative government is eroding. Popular participation has moved from long-term organizations and political parties to short-term action groups and associations with immediate concerns. Public sector reforms seem to weaken municipal autonomy and strengthen central control in emphasizing greater efficiency and better quality of municipal service provision. The judicialization of politics …

Introduction
The Norwegian tradition in comparative political research, from Stein Rokkan onwards, has impressed a profiled picture of national peculiarities on the international scholarly community – the corporatist mode of government, the strength of the rural districts and the periphery, the egalitarianism and the deep structure of social democratic norms across the political spectrum. The established picture is now increasingly an outdated stereotype, and…

The narrow gate
Territorial secession and dissolution of empire means a challenge to the established system of states. How are the criteria for recognition of new states worked out? How is the gatekeeping to statehood performed? We shall sort out the answers by putting the new post-Cold War challenge into historical perspective. It is not only a question of changing criteria of entry to the system of states, but also one of a change in the state system whereby t…

Antinomies of Postmodernism in International Studies
1. By Way of Appearances The new wave of anti-positivism reached international relations remarkably late. Dressed in Parisian post-structuralist vocabulary it spread from peripheral North American universities by the mid-1980s (Ashley, 1984; Walker, 1987). Scattered 'voices from exile' made a wave of 'dissident thought', challenging the academic establishment with heated critical fervour. The itinerary from the American outback is not hard to acc…
Regional Great Powers
The category of states called 'regional great powers' is one which we feel, intuitively, must be affected by strategic postures and power relationships at the global level. It has often been argued that the really Great Powers may fortify regional alliance partners by relative retrenchment, or that superpower accomodation generally might increase the scope for regional assertiveness. On the other hand is the equally conventional view that powers …
War Termination in the Western Sahara
Decay and Revival of Détente. Dynamics of Center and Periphery in Superpower Rivalry
The article is an analysis of the relationships between regional questions and the strategic stance of the superpowers during the ebb and flow of détente. The exposition of the dynamics between "periphery" and "center" in East-West rivalry is mainly concentrated on the 1970s, with some lines on trajectories up to that decade, and a comment on later developments. The American and Soviet strategies towards the "grey zones" of influence are spelled …
