S2023 Ep 1Rethinking radicalisation and resilience in Mali and the Sahel
What does resilience against radicalisation and violent extremism look like in Mali and the Sahel? And which drivers are present for the spread of extremism?In this episode of the NUPI podcast The World Stage, Abdoul Wakhab Cissé (ARGA) and Morten Bøås (NUPI) are sitting at the bed of the river Niger. This mighty waterway floats from the high plains of Guinea through Mali and Niger before it makes its way to the Atlantic Ocean through Nigeria. They are discussing the manifestation of violent extremism in Mali and neighbouring Sahel countries like Niger and Burkina Faso.This podcast episode is part of the EU-funded PREVEX project that aims to understand drivers of violent extremism and how local communities respond and resist through various ways of expressing resilience. PREVEX is funded by the European Union’s Horizon 2020 programme under grant agreement No 870724. Read more about the project here: https://www.prevex-balkan-mena.eu/ Hosted on Acast.

S2022 Ep 13Putin’s potential headache: The anti-mobilization protests in North Caucasus
After Vladimir Putin’s announcement of the partial mobilization of the war in Ukraine in September, people, and in particular women, took to the streets in several of the republics in the North Caucasus. They protested this mobilization, saying that this war was one they couldn’t agree sending their sons into. Even if these demonstrations on an international scale were quite small, and that they ended almost as quickly as they emerged, the protests can be seen as a sign of an increasing discontent with the center of power in Moscow. In this episode of the NUPI Podcast The World Stage, Badri Belkania explains why the protests in Chechnya and Dagestan are important, what they are a sign of and what they could turn into. Host for this episode is Marie Furhovden. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

S2022 Ep 12Abkhazia between Russia and the outside world
De facto states - states that have failed to win international recognition - have long been understudied 'blank spots,' overlooked in academic literature and on maps. However, they play critical and contentious roles in international politics: Since the end of the Cold War, de facto states have been involved in a disproportionately large number of violent conflicts, resulting in their establishment, change of status, or elimination.In this episode of the NUPI podcast 'The World Stage', we turn our attention to Abkhazia, a de facto state in Southern Caucasus at the eastern coast of the Black Sea, and focus on its efforts to secure diplomatic ties in the post-Soviet space and beyond, as well as its relationship with its patron state, Russia. Episode host is Tamta Gelashvili (NUPI and University of Oslo). Guests are Donnacha Ó Beacháin (Professor at the School of Law and Government, Dublin City University) and Pål Kolstø (Professor at the Department of Literature, Area Studies and European Languages at the University of Oslo).

S2022 Ep 11The next migration crisis: Is the EU better prepared?
In this podcast episode we take a closer look on how the EU will handle a new migration crisis. A new wave of mass migration to Europe might be building up according to several indicators. Is the EU better prepared now than during the refugee crisis in 2015? Or could this looming crisis be a new threat to the EU that will come on top of the war in Europe? How will that affect the European unity that we have been witnessing faced with the war in Ukraine?Listen in as Research Professor Pernille Rieker from NUPI interviews Professor Christian Kaunert from Dublin City University and University of South Wales. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

S2022 Ep 10Bridging or dividing people? A conversation about Bosnia and Herzegovina and Mostar in particular
In this podcast episode we’ll take a closer look at the relationship between the different ethnic groups in Mostar after the Balkan wars. What influences the resilience of different population groups to radicalization and violent extremism? One of the case study areas in the EU-funded PREVEX project is the Balkans. In this episode of the NUPI podcast The World Stage, we are zooming in on Mostar in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The famous bridge in Mostar represents a symbolic background for the social fabric that has suffered from the war in the 1990’ies. In 1993 the bridge was destroyed in the civil war that raged in the former Yugoslavia. On one side of the bridge, the Bosniak community was predominant, on the other side, the majority were Croats. The bridge was later rebuilt, but how are the relations between people in Bosnia and Herzegovina and in Mostar today, nearly three decades after the war ended? Do people from the different ethnic groups mix, socially, at school or at work? How is this different from before the war? What are the lessons to be learnt and what are the main challenges today? And with the recent general elections in the country, is there any hope for change? Listen in as Senior Research Fellow at NUPI, Kari Osland, discusses this with Professor Edina Becirevic (Security Studies at UNSA and co-founder of Atlantic Initiative) and politician Lana Prlic (Representative in the Parliament of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina and Vice President for SDP BiH).

S2022 Ep 9How important are traditional values for Putin’s support?
How important are traditional values for Putin’s support? How are they related to the war in Ukraine? And what does the future look like for the Putin regime? In the last decade, Russian authorities have adopted a strongly antiliberal rhetoric with attacks on Western secularism, multiculturalism, and alleged moral decay. This rhetoric has been followed up with new laws against blasphemy and “propaganda of non-traditional sexual orientations among minors”, decriminalization of wife battery, etc. In this episode of The World Stage, Tora Berge Naterstad discusses findings from the project “Value-based regime legitimation in Russia” (LegitRuss) with Professor Henry Hale. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

S2022 Ep 8Most people aren’t radicalized
Why are some communities more likely to experience violent extremism than others? And why do most people living in enabling environments stay clear of radicalization?These are two of the core questions of the NUPI led EU project PREVEX that is now in its third year of research. In this episode of The World Stage, Marie Furhovden has invited three of the researchers involved in this project; Diana Mishkova, Luca Raineri and Stéphane Lacroix to give a run through of the findings in the project so far. Towards the end, Steven Blockmans is giving his view on what the research from this project can be utilized in the EU. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

S2022 Ep 7Useful or useless? The Ukraine UN ambassador's take on the UN Security Council
Has Russia's invation of Ukraine pushed the UN Security Council to the brink of existential crisis?As one of the veto powers, Russia is blocking all resolutions on Ukraine. And from the looks of it, the Security Council is paralyzed on an international crisis of historical dimentions. But is this really the case? Therese Leine, senior communications advisor, and Dr. Niels Nagelhus Schia, senior research fellow and social antropoligist, from The Norwegian Institute of International Affairs, visited the UN to find out. The guest in this episode of The World Stage is Sergiy Kyslytsya, Ukraine's ambassador to the UN. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

S2022 Ep 5Is this the end of academic freedom in Russia?
The eyes of the world are now pointed towards the horrible war in Ukraine. But right on the other side of the border, a concerning trend has been taking place for some time already. The Russian governments’ grip on freedom of speech is tightening, day by day, restricting the everyday activities and professional life of Russian citizens. What does this mean for Russian academics? And is the latest development essentially the end of academic freedom in Russia? This episode was recorded on 6 April 2022.

S2022 Ep 4Can Europe get out of Russian gas?
After the invasion of Ukraine, Europeans are now rethinking its relationship with Russia, and its dependence on Russian gas.

What are the steps that are necessary? And what would it take, in terms of investments, finance and political willingness?What can Norway do in order for Europe to ease this transition? Can Norway produce more gas?If Europe succeeds, what will this mean for Russia? And what are the Russians thinking about the current European strategy?In this episode, Jarand Rystad (CEO, Rystad Energy), discuss these questions together with Jakub Godzimirski (Research professor, NUPI) and Ulf Sverdrup (Director, NUPI).

Is America turning its back on Europe?
Recent events, such as the ill-prepared evacuation from Afghanistan and the secret negotiation over Australian submarines at the expense of France, have showed a United States that, at least occasionally, still puts “America first”.This despite the enthusiasm that was present in most European capitals after Joe Biden beat Donald Trump in the US presidential elections last year.

Norge og det internasjonale spillet om vaksiner
I alle land raser debatten om vaksiner mot Covid-19: Hvem har fått, hvem skal få og har strategien vært god nok?

Governance, Fragility and Insurgency in the Sahel
Once a region that rarely featured in debates about global security, the Sahel has become increasingly topical as it confronts the international community with intertwined challenges related to climate variability, poverty, food insecurity, population displacement, transnational crime, contested statehood and jihadist insurgencies. Sahel is in fact a political order in the making, where extra-legal governance influences the nature of political competition and multiple threats challenge international stakeholders.Listen in on NUPI researcher Morten Bøås' and Adjunct research professor at SSSA, SAIS Europe and NUPI Francesco Strazzari's conversation related to the launch of a special issue of the "International Spectator" on this subject, that the two researchers have guest edited.

Is Russia on a collision course with the West?
Since his Munich Security conference speech in 2007 Vladimir Putin has identified the West as Public Enemy No 1. Since then he has employed a variety of instruments from cyber-attacks to information warfare to undermine the Western democratic order.Less well-known is his reference since the Valdai conference in 2013 to Russia as a civilizational state with privileged civilizational interests in countries with significant Russian diasporas. The discourse is one in which the West is identified as an eternal and perpetual enemy of Russia’s cultural identity. It's becoming clear that Russia is on a collision course with the Western world.In this episode of NUPI podcast, Christopher Coker, professor of International Relations at the London School of Economics, gives his take on the situation.
