      Fedreheim, Gunn Elin; Hansen, Tina; Aure, Marit (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-05-30)
      Deltakelse i arbeidslivet er sentralt for inkludering av flyktninger. Denne artikkelen baserer seg på kvalitative intervjuer med arbeidsgivere, og studerer deres syn på bruk av praksisplasser til kvalifisering av flyktninger. Vi bruker mangfoldsledelsens flernivåperspektiv som analytisk rammeverk og finner at arbeidsgiverne ønsker mer systematikk rundt tilretteleggingen av praksis, inkludert bedre ...

      Makarychev, Andrey; Lvova, Maria; Kuznetsova, Anna (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020)
      In this article, we discuss the outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic as a biopolitical challenge that – along the lines of the contemporary academic debate on biopower – may be approached through the concepts of sovereignty and governmentality. Within this general framework, the authors look at the challenges Russia faces due to the corona crisis from the viewpoint of domestic transformations within ...
    • En policystudie av et tiltak for å få flyktninger hurtig i arbeid. «Hurtigsporet ble importert fra Sverige, men kom til Norge for å dø!» 

      Fedreheim, Gunn Elin (Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2021)
      I dette kapittelet ser jeg nærmere på policyutviklingen knyttet til arbeidsinkludering av flyktninger, og mer spesifikt på policybeslutningen hurtigsporet. Hurtigsporets formål er å tilrettelegge for hurtigere gjennomføring av introduksjonsprogrammet (toårig opplæring i norsk og samfunnskunnskap og deltakelse i arbeids- eller utdanningsrettede tiltak) og dermed tidligere inntreden i utdanning eller ...

      Wråkberg, Urban (Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2012)
      A comparative discussion is made of contemporary national and organisational strategies on Northern and Arctic Europe to identify common interests in the Euro-Arctic region and to evaluate how some of these interests may relate to the global context.

    • A great scientific tour in the North of Russia 

      Tevlina, Victoria V.; Nielsen, Jens Petter (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018)
      Освещение различных вопросов, связанных с российско-норвежскими отношениями, традиционно является важным для жителей обоих государств. Возможности представить новые документы и материалы, обсудить значимость многовековых добрососедских связей между Россией и Норвегией, особенно на Севере, предоставляются нечасто. И вот в конце апреля 2018 г. состоялись масштабные научные мероприятия в Никеле и в ...
    • A large-scale meeting of Nordic and Russian historians, philologists and archaeologists in the Arctic Norway 

      Tevlina, Victoria V.; Soleim, Marianne Neerland (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019)
      The history of Russia and Norway and their areas in the Arctic and Russian-Norwegian relations are traditionally important for the residents of both states. Opportunities to present new documents and materials, to discuss the significance of centuries-old ties between Russia and Norway, especially in the North, are not provided so often. In early April 2019, a large-scale scientific seminar of Russian ...
    • “Moving Forward: Strengthening cooperation in Today’s Barents Region,” 

      Espiritu, Aileen Aseron (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2015)
      When the 1993 Kirkenes Declaration was ratified, the governments of Russia, Finland, Sweden, and Norway “expressed their conviction that expanded co-operation in the Barents Euro-Arctic Region (BEAR) will contribute substantially to stability and progress in the area and in Europe as a whole.” (Kirkenes Declaration 1993). Over 20 years later, and as we move forward, this goal is even more important ...
    • Profit under the Soviets: Timber concessions, Western interests and the monetary reforms under NEP 

      Lundesgaard, Jon; Tevlina, Victoria V. (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-02-05)
      In 1921, at the beginning of the New Economic Policy (NEP), V.I. Lenin pointed to the timber industry of the North as a promising opportunity for cooperation with Western interests and the Soviet state soon introduced timber concessions. However, these concessions were not particularly profitable and ended up as a short-lived experiment. This article analyses why timber concessions failed to make a ...
    • Russian Space Meets Western Business Practices - Understanding the Law in the Petroleum Sector in Russia 

      Goes, Sander Bernardus (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2017)

    • Russian timber industry in the 1920s: on the short history of Russnorvegoles 

      Lundesgaard, Jon; Tevlina, Victoria V. (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2017-05-03)
      After the Russian Revolution, with civil war and interventions, war communism (1918–1921) led to a period of great economic difficulties in Russia. The New Economic Policy was the solution, and concessions offered to Western business interests were a part of it. In the timber industry of the 1920s, the jointly Western and Soviet controlled company Russnorvegoles was an important concession. The ...
    • Symbolpolitikk spenner bein for økt sysselsetting av flere flyktninger 

      Fedreheim, Gunn Elin; Hansen, Tina (Chronicle; Kronikk, 2020)
      I Norge har de fleste regjeringer siden starten på 1990-tallet hatt som målsetting at alle skal i arbeid. Denne «arbeidslinja» har vært et kjennetegn ved den norske velferdsmodellen, og grunntanken er at alle skatter, trygder og overføringer skal være utformet slik at det lønner seg å jobbe heller enn å være utenfor arbeidsmarkedet. For norske kvinner har denne politikken blant annet bidratt til ...
    • A systematic review on the role of trust in the water governance literature 

      Voogd, Remko; Rudberg, Peter; D. Vries, Jasper; Beunen, Raoul; Espiritu, Aileen Aseron; Methner, Nadine; Larsen, Rasmus Kløcker; Fedreheim, Gunn Elin; Goes, Sander Bernardus; Kruger, Elizabeth (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-06-01)
      Trust is generally considered to play a key enabling role in water governance. Despite this notion, there have been no systematic assessments examining the way in which the literature on water governance engages with ‘trust’. Our article fills this gap by providing an overview of the way in which this literature has engaged with trust as a conceptual lens, analytical device and empirical phenomenon. ...
