Norwegian Institute of International Affairs or NUPI (Norwegian: Norsk Utenrikspolitisk Institutt) is a Norwegian government agency and research organisation based in Oslo.
NUPI's Background
The Norwegian Institute of International Affairs (NUPI) was established by the Norwegian Parliament in 1959 in order to promote a better understanding of international issues in Norway. NUPI has sought to achieve this by undertaking a wide range of research activities and by disseminating information on international issues. The Institute has an independent position in studying matters of relevance to Norwegian foreign policy and economic relations.
As a small nation, Norway depends strongly on stable and open ties to the rest of the world. Consequently, the understanding of international relations and the constantly evolving international economy is a vital prerequisite when the foreign, as well as domestic policy of Norway is to be shaped. With 50 years of experience, NUPI is one of Norway’s leading independent centres for research and information on political and economic issues.
