Europe

Europe is changing – faced with financial crises, conflicts in its neighbourhood, war in Ukraine and power shifts on the international scene.

The EU is the dominant theme of NUPI’s research on Europe. Increased cooperation and the development of common institutions in Europe, EU foreign and defence policy, EU policy towards neighbouring states and adjacent regions, as well as the role of NATO in Europe are all important areas of study. Also central are questions of energy production in Europe and European energy security. Further priority areas for research at NUPI are the special position of Europe in Norwegian foreign policy, and the role of Europe in global geopolitics.

Britisk EØS spor er ikke dødt

Det er for tidlig å avskrive EØS-løsning for Storbritannia. Det kan i så fall bli krevende for Norge, skriver direktør Ulf Sverdrup i DN-kronikk.

Nordisk renessanse

Forrige uke hadde president Barack Obama innkalt til et nordisk toppmøte i Det hvite hus. Det er flere grunner til at det nå er stor interesse for Norden i USA, skriver Ulf Sverdrup i DN-kronikk. Med en ny sikkerhetspolitisk situasjon har de nordiske lands strategiske plassering fått økt betydning, med tanke på Russland, Baltikum og Østersjøen, såvel som i nord. Fordi det er sterke tendenser til fragmentering i Europa, fremstår også Norden som et stabilt område som burde kunne bidra positivt og mer aktivt til europeisk samhold og lederskap. Topper rangeringer Mange ser også med interesse på hvordan de nordiske landene har lykkes med å høste gevinster av globalisering, samtidig som de har hatt målrettede tiltak mot de gruppene som taper eller marginaliseres av globaliseringen. De nordiske landene topper internasjonale rangeringer innenfor global konkurransekraft, åpenhet, innovasjon og FNs Human Development Index med mer. Det er ikke tilfeldig at Bernie Sanders har nordiske land som sine forbilder. Fordeler med samarbeid President Obama skal også selv være fascinert av Norden. I det bredt anlagte intervjuet i The Atlantic (anbefales), fremgår det at han titt og ofte sukker til sine kolleger: «If only everyone could be like the Scandinavians, this would all be easy». Presidenten har latt seg fascinere av at de nordiske landene har en nøktern og pragmatisk problemløsende stil, og at de har et stort engasjement for internasjonale fellesgoder knyttet til for eksempel klima, fattigdom, nedrustning, likestilling og fred. Et tettere nordisk samarbeid ville trolig gjort at de nordiske landene i større grad kunne ha sikret sine interesser, og at de i større grad ha satt et større preg på utviklingen i Europa og globalt. Betydelig samlet kraft Hver for seg, er de nordiske landene små og ganske ubetydelige i en internasjonal målestokk, men samlet er de en betydelig kraft.

EU referendum: the beginning, not the end, of Brexiteers’ problems

On 23 June 2016, Britain voted to leave the European Union. The referendum outcome triggered resignation of Prime Minister David Cameron and his replacement by former Home Secretary Theresa May. This brief enquires into why Cameron lost the referendum battle and what the major challenges facing the new prime minister are. May, who supported the ‘Remain’ campaign, will have to prove that she can deliver Brexit. That will not be an easy task, with obstacles at home and abroad. Scotland and Northern Ire-land voted to remain in the EU, and their reluctance to leave the EU could complicate May’s plans. PM May will also find it difficult to win hearts in Brussels. Britain tested the patience of the EU institutions with its reform demands, and Brussels will be reluctant to make things easier for the UK in Brexit talks. Member-states may be more receptive to Britain’s concerns, but the UK will prob-ably not be offered any special treatment.
