This report examines key aspects of Polish and Norwegian security policy, how both countries could benefit from the other party’s good practices and experience, and how they could increase cooperation with one another. More specifically, the authors examine 1) Norway and Poland’s policies towards Russia, including how they are informed by tensions between Moscow and the West; 2) the role of regional defense cooperation in the security policy of Poland and Norway; and 3) the experiences gained by Norway and Poland with NATO’s International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) operation in Afghanistan, particularly in assisting with Afghan security sector reform. The authors also provide recommendations on how to improve Polish-Norwegian cooperation.
