Book synopsis

Norway has over the past century developed its security policy based on how it, as a small state in a big world, has perceived its position and its best interests. What started with idealistic neutrality proceeded to membership in what arguably has become the most successful and long-lasting politico-military alliance in the modern world. Throughout the cold war Norway's geographic position ensured focus and attention from its larger allies, which also affected its security policy and its relations to Russia. The challenge Norway faced during that time was to balance the allied activity and its own security policy to avoid provocations and further militarization in the region. After the Cold War the picture has changed considerably. The issue of security has become increasingly complex, with aspects of economy, energy, resource management and human rights. Since NATO has gone global, and other issues have emerged as larger threats than the ideological battle between the East and the West, the regional and strategic importance of Norway and its surrounding areas have diminished.
