Beskyttelsesplikt over alle grenser?

(Norwegian only): This article deals with the «duty of care» held by states for their citizens, when the citizens are abroad. The arguments are based on general developmental traits common to modern states, but the main case is the relationship between the Norwegian state and its citizens. The article raises two main questions, firstly how it became self-evident that the state has a duty of care for its citizens abroad, secondly under what circumstances and in which ways this duty is articulated and put on the political agenda. The first question is answered through an historical and comparative analysis, emphasizing how ties of loyalty between states and citizens developed, and how the legitimacy of modern welfare-states became tied to the will and capacity of states to care for its citizens. The second question is answered through an analysis of a number of fairly recent «crises». Here, special attention is paid to how the media are central to the articulation of crisis, how there is a growing need for the government to act rapidly and visibly in the face of crisis and the tension between the need to demonstrate strength in the face of crisis and the desire that citizens should take greater responsibility for themselves when traveling abroad.

Frozen Moments: Visualizing the Polity in Times of Overheating

We are living in a new epoch: the Anthropocene, where the world is overheated by human activity, driven too fast and filled too full, uneven and unequal. This collection explores the question of identity in this new world, looking at the consequences of rapidly accelerating change on social and personal identities and providing a concrete set of perspectives on how people conceive their selves and belonging in the twenty-first century. Featuring examinations of the Phiippines, Israel, Australia, the Cape Verde Islands, and Afghanistan, the book studies changes generated by rapid industrialization, forced return of migrants, sudden population growth, and the touristification of local cultures.

Å hoppe etter Refleks: Brendes Veivalg

(Available in Norwegian only): I denne artikkelen løfter Minda Holm stortingsmeldingen "Veivalg for utenriks- og sikkerhetspolitikken" frem i diskusjonen rundt Brendes arv, og i) ser "Veivalg" i lys av Jonas Gahr Støres "Refleks", og ii) modererer kritikken om at det ikke ble foretatt noen veivalg i stortingsmeldingen. Hun trekker særlig frem satsningen på sårbare stater, som både i meldingen og i statsbudsjettet for 2018 er viet stor plass.

Flinkest i klassen? Har Norge et politisk handlingsrom under EØS-avtalen?

(Available in Norwegian only): Når EØS-avtalen diskuteres er det lett å få inntrykk av at Norge med den har gitt opp muligheten til å forme egen politikk, og at den eneste måten å rette opp i dette på er å si den opp (eller bli medlem av EU, selv om dette argumentet er fraværende i dag). Denne virkelighetsoppfatningen utfordes her av professor Ole Gunnar Austvik, som viser til at det innenfor EØS-avtalen finnes et visst nasjonalt handlingsrom som Norge kan benytte seg av dersom viljen er tilstede. Det krever kunnskap og interesse – som all annen politikkutvikling.
