Arendalsuka, 17 August 2021
As part of the UiA- arrangement in Arendal, the Jean Monnet Centre organized a panel debate on the Nordic Region as an area for joint policy development.
Norden – en arena for felles politikkutvikling eller prateklubb i skyggen av EU?
Nordisk Ministerråd fyller 50 år i år. Hvordan står det egentlig til med det nordiske samarbeidet i dag? Er det en jubilant i midtlivskrise eller er det (fortsatt) politisk kraft i samarbeidet? Hvor integrert er Norden og hvilken plass og tyngde har et samlet Norden i politikkutformingen i Europa? Da Finland og Sverige gikk inn i EU i 1995 var flere bekymret for fremtiden til det nordiske samarbeidet. Hvilken rolle spiller EU – og hvordan forholder Norden seg til europeisk integrasjon?
