The post-Cold War world allows space for less powerful states to develop influential roles in responding to specific international problems. Norway has focused on the persistent issue of violent ethno-political conflict. This book explains why Norway chose its peace policy and demonstrates what is has been able to achieve. With its multiple power centers and ongoing chronic issues, the post-Cold War world allows space for less powerful states to develop influential roles in responding to specific problems. Norway, for example, has focused its available capabilities and resources on the persistent issue of violent ethno-political conflict. This book explains why Norway chose its peace policy and demonstrates what a far-away country with a small population has been able to achieve as peacemaker and a peacebuilder. As a niche state, Norway has relied on political and economic rather than military strategies. It has also selected its locations for engagement based on assessments of the possibility that Norwegians will be able to assist local people to make progress toward peace. The book provides an analysis of Norway's identity, agency, and domestic policy-making structure, as well as of criticisms that have surfaced within Norway. It includes case studies of peacemaking attempts in Sudan and Sri Lanka and of a peacebuilding project in Macedonia
