Extract

On the February 28, 1947, by way of royal decree, the University of Oslo (UiO) was allowed to grant a degree in political science; Norway's first department of political science was established at the same university in 1957. Today, 60 years later, political science departments can be found on each of Norway's largest university campuses; their graduates are active and evident locally, nationally, and internationally—with jobs in both the public and private sectors. While it is difficult to provide an accurate survey of the breadth and depth of contemporary Norwegian political science, this short article aims to supply a brief historical and institutional map for American political scientists interested in working in Norway or with Norwegian political scientists.I would like to thank Nils Petter Gleditsch, Torbjørn Knutsen, Ola Listhaug, Willy Martinusen, and Knut Erik Solem for their helpful advice and comments. Any errors and omissions are obviously the sole responsibility of the author.
