Articles (in books and journals)
  • Wilhelmsen, Julie , Geir Flikke (2011). Russian-Chinese Convergence and Central Asia,

    in Journal of Geopolitics no. 4, vol. 16

    .Routledge.p. 865-901.The article argues that since the mid-1990s, China's and Russia's strategic outlooks have gradually been converging. The two great powers have incrementally shed their mutual apprehensions and started a comprehensive and multifaceted cooperation in the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO). In this sense, they have initiated a new geopolitical script around Central Asia. As their mutual interests hold sway over US influence regionally, questions remain on whether specific interests are compatible, or harbour new rivalries. [url]

    in Kraska, James (ed.) Arctic Security in an Age of Climate Change

    .Cambridge University press.p. 64-84.The article analyzes Norwegian politics in the high north in light of multilateral institutions and new security challenges. The author maintains that Norway's politics is based on functional multilateral organizations and continuity and predictability in the UN framework. This can become more of a challenge if the competition for resource access hardens and the Arctic is defined as a strategically valuable area for one or more states. [url]
