In contemporary political mythology Norden is both a region of peace 鈥� a quintessential Deutschian 鈥榥o-war鈥� security community of social cohesion and societal resilience 鈥� and a region for peace 鈥� as active proponents of multilateral peace support, humanitarian and development aid and a rules-based international order.

Peace has often been portrayed as a Nordic export and competitive edge, with this no less evident than in how the region is often described as possessing unique expertise in conflict resolution and where Nordic peace has been cultivated as a global brand 鈥� most evident in the annual awarding of the Nobel Peace Prize by the Norwegian Nobel Committee.

This conference is a collaboration with the University of Oslo, , and . It aims to examine ideas about Nordic peace in the twenty-first century through the lenses of history, theory, identity, and foreign policy.
