Mobilities and peace
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-01-04)
This article considers how an increasingly visible set of mobilities has implications for how peace and conflict are imagined and responded to. We are particularly interested in how these mobilities take form in everyday actions and shape new forms of peace and challenge existing ones. The article considers fixed categories associated with orthodox peace such as the international, borders and the ...
Interventionary order and its methodologies: the relationship between peace and intervention
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-07-19)
Recently there have been calls from policymakers around the world for practically engaged research to produce evidence-based policy for peace, security and development. Policymakers aim to align three types of methodological approaches to knowledge about peace, security and development in international order: methodological liberalism at state and international levels, aligned with ‘methodological ...
Climate change in context: putting people first in the Arctic
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-03-06)
Climate change is a major challenge to Arctic and other Indigenous peoples, but not the only and often not the most pressing one.
We propose re-framing the treatment of climate change in policy and research, to make sure health, poverty, education, cultural

Trust, Distrust, and Security: An Untrustworthy Immigrant in a Trusting Community
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel, 2019-09-15)
In security studies, there is an unquestioned assumption of a linear link between trust and security. However, such an assumption neglects complex identity dynamics that can be involved in trust‐building discourses for engendering security. There needs to be greater examination into what is meant by trust, and upon what, and whom, and how the politics of identity works in social trust building and ...
Arctic Exceptionalism’ or ‘comprehensive security’? Understanding security in the Arctic
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel, 2019-11-12)
Since Mikhail Gorbachev’s icebreaking Murmansk speech in 1987, the Arctic has been considered to be an “exceptional” region of peace and cooperation in security studies. While acknowledging the relevance of this narrative, this article nevertheless argues the “Arctic exceptionalism” narrative is insufficient for understanding the complex security situation in the region. The lens of comprehensive ...
Niches of agency: managing state-region relations through law in Russia
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-04-09)
State-region relations involve negotiations over the power to (re)-constitute local spaces. While in federal states, power-sharing ostensibly gives regions a role over many space-making decisions, power asymmetries affect this role. Where centralization trends may erode regional agency, law can provide an important tool by which regions can assert influence. We examine a case where, in response to ...

Smerte på flukt - fortelling fra en tysk menighet i Chile etter krigen
(Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2019)
De fleste av de som kom til Chile, var overlevende fra andre verdenskrig og hadde opplevd forferdelige ting under krigen. Jeg har fortalt deg at min far for eksempel var en soldat i en alder av 16 og ble sendt til grensen mellom Frankrike og Belgia som amerikanerne invaderte. I sin tropp bestående av 200 soldater overlevde kun 6 personer, hvor en er min far. Dette er bare ett eksempel. Det var andre ...
