- Abstract
By focusing on the internal conditions and rationale behind the development of Norwegian peace diplomacy (as seen by Norwegian diplomats and nongovernmental organisation representatives), this study argues that the high level of the country's engagement in international peace efforts and its success in pursuing a 'niche diplomacy' can be attributed to two factors. First, it is the ability of the Norwegian government to capitalise on the society's belief that Norwegians are a 'Peace Nation' with a missionary obligation. Second, it is the existence of the so-called ' Norwegian Model', which allows creating efficient interactions between government, civil society and research institutions in specific foreign policy efforts. Both factors combined make Norwegian peace diplomacy a model example representing New Public Diplomacy, where domestic civil society remains both an audience (' Norway as a Peace Nation' notion) and a driver ( Norwegian model of cooperation) of state public diplomacy efforts.
