Journal Title: Zeszyty Naukowe Akademii Sztuki Wojennej - Year 2014, Vol 2014, Issue 96
Abstract
The aim of the article is to examine the relationship between the economic interests of Norway and its security policy. It also attempts to discuss the prospects and possibilites of continuing the current policy of balancing between these factors in the light of a current tense international situation.The author assesses Norwegian-Russian relations from the perspective of historical as well as contemporary conditions. Heanalyses political and economic relations between these two moguls on the energy market.The article emphasises Russia’s and Norway’s common and particular interests. It points out Norway’s political and military affiliation and a small country’s position against its neighbouring world powers. It also brings up the specifics of both countries’ energy policy, focusing primarily on the Arctic.The author stresses that Norway, thanks to its consistent and wise foreign policy in the Arctic, plays a disproportionately large role in relation to its potential. It points out that a small country in a selected area in a specific field, as well as under certain conditions, can also be a serious partner for Russia.The key question is how the development of the High North and the Arctic, one of the most important priorities of Norwegian foreign and domestic policy, is determined by the security factor and how it enhances or reduces the possibility of accomplishment of Norway’s policy goals.
