  • Journalist, working at Dept. of Information, Norwegian Institute of Science and Technology. Editor of The University Newspaper from 1999 till Summer 2000.
  • Life: I lived in Nicaragua from 1995 to1997, wrote my  thesis about building democracy, and what role civil society may play in this process. My point of departure is the fact that Norwegian Agency for Development Cooperation - Norad - supports Nicaraguan Non-governmental organizations (NGOs), claiming that the NGOs' contribution is essential for this democracy-building to succeed. I focus on the relationship between Nicaraguan NGOs and the Nicaraguan state.
