Strengthening National Competence On International Security Issues:The Case Of Norway

Summary/Abstract: In the present article we are going to show the change of the approach and policy of the Norway’s Ministry of Defence (MoD) in the research of social processes and conditions relevant for the creation of security and defense policy of the country. The change of the strategy of the MoD has been started in the beginning of the nineties, as a necessity to adjust to the changed International Relations after the Cold War. The first step for the creation of a new strategy was the shift of the focus of the research in social sciences. The emphasis has been put on the research of politically relevant issues for the foreign, security and defence policies of the country as well as for international security. In 1992 within the MoD the Department of Security Policy has been created. This Department is responsible for the creation and the implementation of the research policy of the international security problems. The Department of Security Policy managed to achieve continuous cooperation with the academic community and created transparent instruments to raise knowledge capacity and build long-term capabilities of the actors that create National Defence Strategy.
