INTRODUCTION «… anyone who does a thorough analysis of Norway will know about the Nobel Committee’s independence, and the distinct separation between the committee and Norwegian authorities.»1 1.0.Introduction Discussions about the Nobel Committee’s independence from the Norwegian state are almost as old as the committee itself. Drawing a line between the committee and the state was not seen as very important during the first decades, however. Up until 1936 the committee was seen by many as one of the committees of Parliament, and cabinet ministers frequently served as ministers. During the first decades it was quite common for political representatives to have several other important mandates and functions. One reason specific to foreign relations was the fact that the people with knowledge and understanding of foreign policy amounted to a small group of people. This is demonstrated also in Halvdan Koht’s alleged complaint to the British ambassador that: “the Norwegians in general, including the press, knew nothing whatever about foreign affairs. He had found it quite useless to say anything to them because there was no bottom to their ignorance.”2 The foreign ministry was also small, which was common for small states at the time, with only sixteen officials and seven secretaries in 1906.3 In addition the ideas about impartiality and independence were different from ours. Impartiality was quite natural – something which was part of being a free individual. One might also see this in connection to the view that Norway itself is impartial – a small state without a colonial past.4 As a consequence, it was not very controversial when Foreign Minister Jørgen Løvland said the following words at the opening of the Nobel Institute in 1906: “The Institute is situated here … as a conjuring call to the Norwegian people and the Norwegian Parliament that they will solve the task which is given to them with honour. I want to state a wish, which I address to the President, that Parliament must succeed in thinking highly of this task so that it year by year will become a more glorious memorial of the founder and honour for our fatherland.”5 In recent decades, and especially after the prize to Liu Xiaobo in 2010, the Norwegian government has stressed the committee’s independence. Issues of independence and 1 Jonas Gahr Støre quoted in Dagens Næringsliv, “Støre ber om fred med Kina” (11.10.11.) 2 Geir Lundestad, “Lange linjer i norsk utenrikspolitikk,” Internasjonal politikk 57, 2 (1999): 290. Halvdan Koht was Foreign Minister 1935-41. 3 Iver B. Neumann & Halvard Leira, Aktiv og avventende (Oslo: Pax Forlag, 2005), 61. 4 A more recent example of this view is presented in Egeland, Jan, Impotent superpower - potent small state (Oslo: Universitetsforlaget, 1988). 5 Jørgen Løvland quoted in Mathias Brynildsen Reinar, “Lille land – hva da? Nobelinstituttet og begynnelsen på den norske fredstradisjonen, 1897-1913” (Institutt for sosiologi og statsvitenskap, NTNU, 2011): 83. 5 impartiality involve understandings of state and society, and the border between the two. If the Nobel Committee is independent, it must be a part of society, and distinctly not a part of the state. No one in Norway today would accuse the Norwegian government of interfering with the committee’s decisions. In other words, while the purely bureaucratic and organizational independence of the Nobel committee is a fact, what is at stake is something else. My research question is thus: Is the Nobel Committee and the Nobel Peace Prize a part of Norwegian state or society? How do these institutions function in Norway? 1.1. Existing research The most recent name on the list of writers on the Nobel Peace Prize, Jay Nordlinger writes that “A history of the Nobel Peace Prize is, among other things, a collection of people, a parade of personalities.”6 This relates to many of the books and articles that have been written about the prize. The major reference work was written by the American historian Irwin Abrams in 1989, (centennial edition in 2001).7 It gives an overview of the winners and the procedures of nomination and selection and views the work of the Nobel Committees sympathetically: “The Norwegian Nobel Committees have become used to criticism for their decisions. Unlike the other Nobel Prizes, there are no ‘authorities’ in the field of peacemaking, and everyone feels confident in expressing an opinion. There is general agreement, however, that the Nobel Peace Prize has come to represent the most prestigious world prize for service to humanity. In the midst of stories about violence, terrorism, and conflict, twice a year peace makes news – in October, when the Nobel Prize is announced, and in December, when it is awarded.”8 Øyvind Tønnesson has written about trends in Nobel Peace Prizes in the twentieth century based on who has received the prize. He notes one of the difficulties of studying the peace prize: “We know most about the laureates themselves because their character and accomplishments become public knowledge. We know a good deal about the Nobel Committee, because its members are public figures, but less about its deliberations. The committee has the assistance of professional advisers, but makes its decisions alone and, in fact, these deliberations … are not even to be recorded.”9 In other words we will never have access to material which can clarify why and how the Nobel Committee reached its decision. 6 Jay Nordlinger, Peace, they say (New York: Encounter Books, 2012), 3. 7 Irwin Abrams, The Nobel Peace Prize and the Laureates (Nantucket: Watson Publishing International, 2001). 8 Abrams, The Nobel Peace Prize and the Laureates: ix. 9 Øyvind Tønnesson, «Trends in the Nobel Peace Prizes in the Twentieth Century,» Peace & Change 26, 4 (2001). 6 Another challenge to assessments of the peace prize is that peace is an elusive concept. Geir Lundestad calls peace “a treacherous field” and Halvard Leira states that the committee operates in “a minefield.” 10 When Nobel wrote his will in 1895 the world looked very different and obviously the concept of peace was also in many ways different. Douglas Bulloch looks at the three measures for awarding the prize in the sentence which provides the “entire institutional and symbolic edifice of the Nobel Peace Prize.”11 In the will it is stated that the prize should

  • Childhood Comes but Once National Strategy to Combat Violence and Sexual Abuse Against Children and Youth (2014–2017)
    Strategy Childhood comes but once National strategy to combat violence and sexual abuse against children and youth (2014–2017) Strategy Childhood comes but once National strategy to combat violence and sexual abuse against children and youth (2014–2017) 4 FOREWORD As a society, Norway has come a long way in its efforts to protect children and adolescents from violence, sexual abuse and bullying. The progress we have achieved is attributable to policy decisions, legislation, increased knowledge, public discussion, media attention and the work of professionals, parents and children themselves. We do not permit parents to harm their children, and we express collective grief and alarm when we hear of children exposed to serious abuse. To the vast majority of parents in Norway, nothing is more important than the well-being of children. All the same, violence and sexual abuse, whether in the family or elsewhere, are a part of daily life for many children. Extensive research shows how consequential violence may be, whether it is directed at a parent or the child itself, and whether it takes the form of direct physical violence, sexual abuse or bullying. Violence can lead to extensive cognitive, social, psychological and physical problems in both the short and long term. Violence against children and adolescents is a public health challenge. The approach to violence and sexual abuse against children in Norwegian society must be one of zero tolerance. We want safety and security for all children, enabling them to enjoy good health and a good quality of life as they grow. Taboos must be broken.

    MEDIA RELEASE June 26, 2017 CHINA RELEASES 2010 NOBEL PEACE PRIZE LAUREATE AND FREEDOM NOW CLIENT LIU XIAOBO ON MEDICAL PAROLE Liu reportedly has terminal liver cancer; he and his wife Liu Xia must immediately be given access to counsel and international community Washington, D.C. – Liu Xiaobo, China’s most prominent dissident and recipient of the 2010 Nobel Peace Prize, has been released on medical parole after he was diagnosed with terminal liver cancer. Dr. Liu is receiving treatment in the north-eastern city of Shenyang after receiving the diagnosis in May, according to his local lawyers. “We are grateful for Dr. Liu’s release, but are deeply disturbed by the circumstances under which the Chinese government granted him parole,” said Jared Genser, Founder of Freedom Now and pro bono international counsel to Liu Xiaobo and Liu Xia since mid-2010. “It is unconscionable that the government neglected Dr. Liu’s health, despite repeated calls from the international community to ensure proper care. The Chinese authorities must provide Liu Xiaobo open access to his counsel and to the international community so that his wishes at this difficult time can be ascertained and honored,” he added. Liu Xiaobo is a scholar and pro-democracy activist imprisoned for his role in drafting Charter 08, a political manifesto that calls for increased rule of law, greater respect for human rights, and the end to one-party rule in China. The Chinese government detained Dr. Liu on December 8, 2008 — two days before the official release of Charter 08. The government held him in solitary confinement and denied him access to his lawyers.

  • Ihlen (2004) Rhetoric and Resources
    For my parents Abstract The aim of this dissertation is to discuss the influence that organizations have on public policies through their rhetoric and use of resources. The empirical focus is on public relations strategies regarding the public policy area on energy and the environment. Two case studies are conducted, centering on what have been the two most controversial environmental conflicts in Norway; the first concerns a hydroelectric development and the second relates to the building of gas-fired power plants. The environmentalists lost the first conflict, whereas the latter plants have still not been built. The theoretical starting point for the dissertation is within the realm of rhetorical studies of public relations, but it is argued that these studies have seldom contained specific suggestions for how to go about broad-based analyses. Furthermore, it is claimed that the studies have remained ontologically underdeveloped, which means that they do not offer analytical frameworks that make it possible to account adequately for organizational actors’ influence on, for instance, matters of public policy. The dissertation thus contains a suggestion for a heuristic analytical device drawing on a wide range of rhetorical concepts, combined with a sociological analysis of resources like economic capital, degree of institutionalization, knowledge, networks, and social standing. Historical reconstructions are made of the two cases. The research material is a sample of public relations material from the organizational actors, including brochures and advertisements, but also other texts, such as applications for building permits, and comments made to newspapers. Furthermore, qualitative interviews were conducted with representatives of the organizations involved.
