My project and thesis will include international security issues and how national security policy are formed in Norway and Germany in order to meet the challenges in the 21st century. Furthermore, I would like to study the implications for relations betwe en Germany and Norway, two very close NATO allies.
I am strongly committed to obtain a full comprehension of the relations between the two countries trough looking at their approach in Afghanistan. I would like to compare Norway and Germany?s decision-m aking process towards sending troops to Afghanistan as part of their national security strategy, as well as the reasons behind and the implications of these policies. I plan to thoroughly explore the two countries presence and cooperation within the NATO- context in Afghanistan.
