RESEARCH INTERESTS

My main research interests are within the fields of Arctic security, Arctic governance, science-policy interface, and the Arctic Council. My PhD (Political Science) was on the Norwegian defence establishment’s encounter with new post-cold war realities, emphasizing, among other things, security in the Arctic. In recent years, however, my main research focus has been on Arctic and global environmental governance, maritime safety issues in the Arctic, science-policy influence, and the Arctic Council. I have published a number of books, articles in academic journals and reports on these issues and have broad experience with presenting my research to relevant stakeholders.
