Masteroppgave I Kulturmøte
Masteroppgave i Kulturmøte Oppgavetittel: «Russenschwein!» Okkupasjonshistorie fra Solør med fokus på russiske tvangsarbeidere årene 1943-1945 ved Haslemoen leir – møte mellom lokalbefolkning, krigsfanger og Herrefolket. Studiepoeng: 60 Forfatternavn.: Elin Gundersen Mnd/År.: Mai 2017 Side 1 av 100 Abstract This thesis is looking into the local history in Solør during the Second World War, particularly russian prisoners of war. It will also briefly look in to how the story from Solør has been told for later generations in books and colloquially, and if the national and the local history is the story of the victor. There were also a relatively high share members of Nasjonal Samling, the Norwegian Nationalist Party, in the Solør area both before and during the Second World War. People in Solør, as many other places, had people on both sides that worked for or against the Government and people who just tried to live their lives as normal as they could. It’s the meeting between the different parts during the war and the first period in peacetime this thesis is also trying to look into. There were several million Soviet prisoners of war taken after Germany invaded The Soviet Union (USSR) June 22. 1941, this was called “Operation Barbarossa”. The nazis needed a lot of workers and forced their prisoners into labour. In Norway they had around 500 hundred small and bigger camps, Stalags, where forced working slaves were used for different things. Mostly in the infrastructure like roads, airports and railways. They usually didn’t get enough food, they were undernurished, and they often got sick. -

The Rise and Fall of the Oslo School
Nordic Journal of Political Economy Volume 33 2007 Article 1 The Rise and Fall of the Oslo School ‡ Ib E. Eriksen* Tore Jørgen Hanisch † Arild Sæther * University of Agder, Faculty of Economics and Social Sciences, Kristiansand, Norway ‡ University of Agder, Faculty of Economics and Social Sciences, Kristiansand, Norway † University of Agder, Faculty of Economics and Social Sciences, Kristiansand, Norway This article can be dowloaded from: http://www.nopecjournal.org/NOPEC_2007_a01.pdf Other articles from the Nordic Journal of Political Economy can be found at: http://www.nopecjournal.org The Rise and Fall of the Oslo School 1 Ib E. Eriksen, Tore Jørgen Hanisch1, Arild Sæther The Rise and Fall of the Oslo School2 Abstract In 1931 Ragnar Frisch became professor at the University of Oslo. By way of his research, a new study programme and new staff he created the ”Oslo School”, characterised by mathematical modelling, econometrics, economic planning and scepticism towards the market economy. Consequently, detailed state economic planning and governance dominated Norwegian economic policy for three decades after WWII. In the 1970s the School’s dominance came to an end when the belief in competitive markets gained a foothold and the economy had poor performance. As a result a decentralized market economy was reintroduced. However, mathematical modelling and econometrics remain in the core of most economic programmes. JEL classification: B23, B29,B31, B59, O21, P41, P51 1. Introduction The main purpose of this presentation is to tell the story of how Ragnar Frisch founded the so-called Oslo School in economics, and secondly, to outline the main features of this School and investigate its major influence on the Norwegian post-war economy. -

Checkel for an excellent introduction to social constructivism in International Relations, Prof. Werner Christie Mathisen for his course on textual analysis, and Sunniva Engh for introducing me to Norwegian development aid history.

I am indebted to my fellow students, particularly Jonathan Amario and Ruben Røsler; my friends; and my parents. Last, but not least, Synnøve deserves my most heartfelt thanks for her patience and loving support. All the viewpoints presented, and all errors and inconsistencies, are solely my own responsibility.

It has therefore been thought desirable to issue a separate advance publication relating to Norway and the War. This publication is to be regarded as forming part of the regular series of Documents on International Affairs and is conceived on the same lines. The fact that it has been compiled during the war nevertheless makes certain differences. Certain texts which it would be desirable to publish, especially those emanating from enemy or enemy-occupied countries, are not available, or can be found only in newspapers instead of in the more official form which would normally be used. -
Gustav Smedals Klipparkiv
Gustav Smedals klipparkiv Juristen Gustav Smedal (1888-1951) var en profilert person i det polare miljøet i Norge før krigen, og han involverte seg spesielt i Grønlandssaken på 1920- og 1930-tallet Arkivet består av avisutklipp innsamlet av Smedal selv Norsk Polarinstitutt Biblioteket Innledning Klipparkivet er på omtrent fem hyllemeter, sortert i bokser. Boksene inneholder mapper organisert av Gustav Smedal selv, inndelt i tema og ofte på dato. Klippene kommer i hovedsak norske aviser, men arkivet består også av utklipp fra nordisk og internasjonal presse. Enkelte tema er mye mer omfattende enn andre siden særlig Grønlandsspørsmål opptok Smedal. Likevel er det en stor spennvidde i arkivet fra norsk innenrikspolitikk til dansk kolonipolitikk, fra Arktis og Antarktis til strid om grensen mellom Danmark og Tyskland for å nevne noen. Hver enkel mappe er indeksert i listen under. Biblioteket kan i enkelte tilfeller tilby seg å kopiere innholdet i ønskede mapper. Der det finnes større mengder materiale lar dette seg dessverre ikke gjøre. Alle interesserte er imidlertid velkomne til å besøke biblioteket i Tromsø for nærmere studier. Tilleggsinformasjon utover Smedals egne notater er ført inn i parentes. Dette er i enkelte tilfeller gjort for å beskrive saker og personer. Boks 1 1.
