Den norske Atlanterhavskomité og Utenriksdepartementet inviterte til foredrag og samtale med NATOs generalsekretær Jens Stoltenberg og utenriksminister Anniken Huitfeldt i Gamle Logen. Anledningen var NATOs uformelle utenriksministermøte som fant sted i Oslo den samme uken. Invitasjonsteksten reiste følgende overordnede spørsmål: Hva står på spill for transatlantisk og norsk sikkerhet i en verden preget av stormaktsrivalisering og krig? Hvilken virkning vil Finlands og Sveriges NATO-medlemskap ha for Norges nærområder og for NATO som helhet? Hvordan skal vi verne om vestlige, demokratiske verdier i møte med stadig flere autoritære krefter som finner sammen i et tettere og mer forpliktende samarbeid? Arrangementet startet med korte innledninger fra Huitfeldt og Stoltenberg, etterfulgt av panelsamtale ledet av Kate Hansen Bundt. Til sist fikk Halvor Tjønn (frilansjournalist), Robin Allers (IFS) og Karsten Friis (NUPI) stille forberedte spørsmål fra salen.

Friendship in International Politics
In the international political discourse of the early 21st century, claims of friendship and “special ties” between states and their leaders are commonplace. Frequently reported by international media, such claims are often used as entry points for scholars and pundits seeking to evaluate the contents, relative strength, and present-day conditions of a given state-to-state relationship. Advancing the claim that friendships not only exist but also matter in and to the international political domain, international relations scholars began in the mid-2000s to trace and explore friendship—as a concept and practice—across time, societies, cultural contexts, and scientific disciplines. As part of the research agenda on friendship in international politics, scholars have explored why, how, and under what conditions friendships between states emerge, evolve, subsist, and dissolve; how amicable structures are typically organized; how they manifest themselves on a day-to-day basis; and what short- and long-term implications they may have for international political processes, dynamics, outcomes, and orders.

From partners to allies: Finland and Norway in a new era
Finland’s decision to apply for NATO membership in 2022 altered Nordic security and defence dynamics. It also reset Finland’s relations with its neighbouring states – including longstanding NATO member Norway. In this policy brief, we discuss the evolving relationship between Finland and Norway. Despite their history as peaceful neighbours, divergent security arrangements generated political distance between Finland and Norway during the Cold War. After the end of the Cold War, their security policies gradually became more aligned, as evident also in heightened Nordic security cooperation, Finnish and Swedish participation in NATO exercises, and, more recently, the signing of a series of defence agreements with each other as well as with Sweden and the United States. Following Finland’s NATO accession, both states have anticipated a deepening of the Finnish-Norwegian alliance. We identify some areas where Finland and Norway may benefit from collaborating and exchanging perspectives in the coming years. This includes in the management of shared institutional frameworks, security concerns in the Arctic and Baltic Sea regions, the future relationship with the United States, and a more antagonistic Russia.
How the UK’s post-Brexit foreign policy came home
After leaving the EU, the UK needed to rethink its place in the world. Kristin Haugevik and Øyvind Svendsen examine the aspirations and meanings underpinning the “Global Britain” narrative and argue that its scope and ambitions have changed significantly in the years following the Brexit referendum.
