The UN programme is a unit conducting applied research. It focuses on power relations and interest groupings among the UN member states as well the UN’s relationship to other actors in world politics; reform of the UN system; and various forms of peace operations. A further important area is the security–development nexus, especially in connection to the work of the recently established UN Peacebuilding Commission.
The UN programme also acts as a forum for the exchange of knowledge about the UN system and international peace operations. It arranges frequent seminars that feature experts from Norway and abroad, and publishes papers and reports on topics of particular relevance and importance.
