Changing World, Steady Diplomacy

Over the last decades, globalization and digitalization have made the world smaller. "Far away does not exist any more", as former Norwegian foreign minister Thorvald Stoltenberg once put it. The boundaries between "out there" and "here at home" have become more difficult to draw up; our understanding of what naturally belongs in the foreign policy and diplomacy domain is constantly changing. These developments - and our own assessment of them - have implications for how Norwegian foreign policy and diplomacy is formulated and practiced.
