Norway And Refugees

The work traces Norway's historical reputation as a haven for refugees, contrasting it with recent policy shifts influenced by economic pressures, cultural anxieties, and security concerns. It argues that Norway's hardening stance represents a significant departure from its humanitarian traditions, reflecting broader trends in European migration policies. This shift has profound implications for both refugees and Norway's national identity.

Through a mixed-methods approach, the book combines quantitative data with qualitative analysis, drawing on legal documents, government reports, and firsthand accounts. It offers a balanced examination of multiple perspectives while maintaining a focus on factual and legal aspects.

By situating Norway's experience within broader global trends, the book provides valuable insights for understanding refugee policy challenges in other countries, making it relevant for policymakers, scholars, and anyone interested in contemporary refugee issues or Nordic politics.
