Pågående forskning:
Pernille Rieker leder prosjektet RE-ENGAGE, som skal se på hvordan EU kan styrke sin utenrikspolitiske verktøykasse, inkludert utvidelses- og naboskapspolitikken - for å styrke unionens geopolitiske innflytelse og være bedre rustet til å fremme demokrati i sitt nabolag.
Innenfor rammen av Norge og EU mot 2030 ser Rieker nærmere på utviklingen av EU som sikkerhetspolitisk aktør og implikasjoner for Norge.
I EURODEFENCE studerer hun mekanismer og drivkrefter i EUs forsvarspolitikk med et særlig fokus på differensiert (eller fleksibel) integrasjon og tredjelands rolle.
I PREVEX-prosjektet studerer hun EUs og Frankrikes rolle i bekjempelsen av voldelig ekstremisme i Mena-regionen og Sahel.
I JOINT arbeider hun med hvordan å forstå drivkrefter og mekanismer i EUs utenrikspolitkk.
I ADHOCISM prosjektet ser hun nærmere på Frankrikes militære rolle i Mali.

This paper analyses the relationship between the European integration process and the recent changes in the Norwegian and the Swedish national security identities. The aim of the paper is to compare developments in the Norwegian and the Swedish security identities in the 1990s and to evaluate the extent and scope of Europeanisation in the two cases. The fact that both Norway and Sweden had very traditional security discourses at the beginning of the 1990s and that it is possible to detect shifts away from this traditionalism in parallel with the development towards a European security dimension should prove that a Europeanisation has indeed occurred. While several researchers have studied the influence of the EU on national institutions and policies, less attention has been given to the Europeanisation of national security identities. This paper is therefore an attempt to fill this gap. The fact that Sweden has become a member of the EU while Norway has not also makes these two countries good cases for examining the extent and scope of their respective Europeanisation.
The Europeanisation of Norway's Security Identity
In this working paper Pernille Rieker looks into the relationship between the European integration process and changes in Norway’s national security identity. Has the dominant national discourse on security changed since the early 1990s? If so, how are these changes related to the recent acceleration of the European integration process? And to what extent are such European influences on national security identities related to formal membership in the EU? While there is reason to believe that a Europeanisation of national security policies has taken place, the question is whether we may speak of a profound change in identity, or merely an instrumental adaptation to external changes. Several researchers have studied the influence of this participation on national institutions and policies; less attention, however, has been given to the Europeanisation of Norway’s security identity. This paper is an attempt to fill this gap.
Security, integration and identity change
In this working paper Pernille Rieker attempts to contribute to a better understanding of both how the EU functions as a security system and what kind of impact the integration process has on national security identities. While security has always been the main reason behind the integration process, security and integration have usually been studied separately. Integration specialists have given more attention to economy than to security, and security experts have studied traditional security institutions and overlooked the EU. Rieker attempts to combine these two theoretical traditions by drawing on a combination of recent work on security communities and international socialisation. While the development in the Nordic countries will be used as brief examples in the final part of the paper, a more detailed analysis of these countries’ security identities will follow in a forthcoming study.
