Books and reports
- Hansen, Vegard Valther, Trine Nikolaisen, Helge Lurås (2012). Etter beste evne . Oslo, NUPI-rapport . 19 pages. Security in Practice. Denne rapporten gir en kort oversikt over Forsvarets innsats innen Operational Mentoring and Liaison Teams (OMLT) i Afghanistan. Forsvarets arbeid har vært rettet inn mot Afghan National Army (ANA). Hensikten er å gi anbefalinger om fortsettelsen av dette arbeidet i Afghanistan, men også å skape et erfaringsgrunnlag for eventuelt liknende oppdrag i fremtiden.
- Hansen, Vegard Valther, Henrik Thune [ed.] (1999). Etter Srebrenica. Oslo, Norsk Utenrikspolitisk Institutt. 117 pages. Boken stiller spørsmål ved hva slags etikk man skal forholde seg til i det øyeblikk det internasjonale samfunnet av stater velger å benytte militærmakt for å ivareta humanitære målsettinger.
