In its policy program “Hurdalsplattformen,” Norway’s government states that the High North is the country’s “strategically most important region.” Foreign and domestic interests converge in Norway’s Arctic policy, which revolves around security, stability, and international cooperation. Following a series of Arctic strategy documents that date back to 2003, the Norwegian government laid out over 150 recommendations related to its Arctic strategy in a 2020 white paper (Meld. St. 9 82020-2021). In Polar Perspectives No. 12, Dr. Alf Håkon Hoel, Global Fellow, Polar Institute, provides a summary of Norway's High North policy for the coming years.
