MoreThe Department of International Politics does research on international and global politics, governance, European politics and the implications of Norwegian foreign, security and defense policy.
Our core research topics and geographical areas include:
- Globalisation and global governance
- International security and trans-Atlantic relations
- European integration
- Peace and diplomacy
- Military power, piracy, disarmament / non-proliferation of nuclear weapons
- International terrorism and radicalisation
- Europe, USA, the Middle East
- IR-theory and methodology
The department seeks to combine basic research with applied research through long-term programmes (e.g. EUPERFORM, 2010-2014; Manning the State, 2011-2013 and Hegemony and World Order, 2002-2008) and more policy-relevant research projects. The research on global governance is organised in a Centre for Global Governance within the department.
The department has developed a comprehensive network of international and national partners that take part in current projects, i.a. through AGORA, Consortium for Research on International Crime and Terrorism and GR:EEN. Participation at international research conferences such as ISA and ECPR is highly prioritised by our researchers.
As a means to partake in the public debate about Norwegian foreign policy and give our research practical relevance, the department organises seminars based on projects and publications, among them a seminar series on EUPERFORM. Our research dissemination activities also include article publication in refereed journals, mainstream media and popular science publications.
