With more than 50 years of experience, the Norwegian Institute of International Affairs (NUPI) is Norway’s leading independent centre for research and information on international political and economic issues, and on areas of central relevance to Norwegian foreign policy. NUPI undertakes long-term basic research as well as short-term applied research and advisory services. Central to all NUPI’s work is interdisciplinary collaboration, both within the institute and with other institutes and bodies in Norway and abroad. NUPI offers a wide range of publications covering various issues within international relations research. The NUPI Working Papers present preliminary research on several issues within the field of international relations, which may lead to larger research papers. The series contains papers in English as well as in Norwegian.
