| Objectives
This part of the Arctic Norway programme is intended to provide knowledge and understanding both of the history of northern Norway and of Norwegian activity in the polar or northern region. | Contents
Because of the students? varied backgrounds, we assume no previous knowledge of the region. We also work on the assumption that students know very little about Norwegian history. We therefore begin by giving a brief overview of important themes in Norwegian history, to provide a framework for the more detailed presentation of North Norways history that follows. Increasing Norwegian activity in the polar regions, for purposes of hunting and scientific and economic research but also increasingly as a form of national expression and assertion, is an important theme. Tensions in this area during the Cold War period are considered, and the course comes up to the present in examining economic exploitation and co-operation in the Barents Region. | Form of teaching
Lectures. | Exam and assessment
Two essays, in all totalling no more than 20 pages.
The first essay: october 5. - october 16
The second essay: november 24. - december 4.
Evaluated on a scale of A-E (pass) and F (fail).
The course is open for re-sit examination early in the following semester. | Contact person/lecturer
