    • Does municipal amalgamation affect trust in local politicians? The case of Norway 

      Solvang, Øystein; Saglie, Jo; Winsvold, Marte (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-12-30)
      When municipalities merge, they grow and, at the same time, experience a comprehensive reform process, both of which may affect political trust. We explore whether and how the large-scale municipal amalgamation reforms in Norway in the 2010s affected citizens’ trust in local and national elected officials and assemblies. We examine the effects of both changes in size and reform processes using survey ...

    • Escalation in asymmetrical relations. A rational strategy for weak states? 

      Solvang, Øystein (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2021-05-18)

    • Hvordan skal Nord-Norge forsvares? En analyse av landmakten på NATOs nordflanke. 

      Solvang, Øystein; Wegge, Njord (Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2023-03-22)
      There is an ongoing debate about the future of Norwegian land power and the defence of the northern parts of the country, a crucial part of NATO’s Northern Flank. The debate emerged following the Russian invasion of Ukraine in 2014, and the 2022 invasion changed key premises, not least by leading to Finland and Sweden applying for NATO membership. This chapter discusses key political, military ...
