| Abstract [eng] |
This thesis inquires on the Norwegian Northern Perspective towards Russia within the Critical Border Studies theoretical approach. Results showed that Northern Perspective is defined through encounters, characterised by higher familiarity with Russia, and embodied through the democratic borderscape. In the domestic dimension, Northern Perspective is enacted through tensions over borderland subsidiarity, caused by differing centre-borderland perceptions on relations with Russia. Over 2012-2022, local actors aimed to maintain neighbourly relations, but increasing Russian authoritarianism and isolationism negatively affected cross-border practices. |
