Les meir


Verksemda til avdelinga er konsentrert om fire hovudtema. Eit sentralt forskingsområde er russisk tryggings- og utanrikspolitikk – herunder russiske hegemoniambisjonar i det postsovjetiske området, og Russland si haldning til EU og NATO.

Innan feltet regimestudiar er fokus retta mot ulike aspekt ved det russiske politiske systemet, politikkutforming og institusjonsbygging og utviklinga av sentrum–periferi-forhold.

Avdelinga tar òg for seg utviklinga i dei russiske nordområda generelt og dei norske nærområda spesielt, i tillegg til ulike bistandsrelaterte prosjekt.

Geografisk dekker avdelinga Eurasia, dvs. det postsovjetiske området med unntak av dei baltiske statane.

The two great powers have incrementally shed their mutual apprehensions and started a comprehensive and multifaceted cooperation in the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO). In this sense, they have initiated a new geopolitical script around Central Asia. As their mutual interests hold sway over US influence regionally, questions remain on whether specific interests are compatible, or harbour new rivalries. [url]

The chapter uses the British-Russian petroleum company TNK-BP as a case study to look at the interface between foreign companies and Russian actors, and to deduce how decisions are made on the Russian side about the interaction with foreign companies.

These include a general effort to reduce the risk of conflicts with neighboring states by clearing away as many territorial disputes as possible, the intention to improve Russia's image as a rule-abiding player on the international arena, and interest in strengthening the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea as the framework for Arctic governance.
