Development policy to change?
The Norwegian government that took over in 2013 under Prime Minister Erna Solberg has announced changes in its development policy. The article argues that major changes are unlikely. The argument builds on Putnam’s ‘two-edged diplomacy’ model and the fact that Norwegian decision-making in the area is consensus-based. The principle that development aid should be 1% of GNP will therefore be maintained, alsoe because the budget finances emergency aid and global ‘thematic initiatives’ such as climate, health and peace-making. These initiatives represent the Norwegian ‘engagement policy’. Political consensus sees it as an integral part of Norway’s foreign policy by which the country profiles itself and «punches above its weight» in international affairs. Whereas the 1% target will remain, the content of aid may change. Private investments in developing countries will be stimulated and aid concentrated geographically, whereas using trade for development is less realistic. The author questions whether changes already made and those planned may lead to loss of attention to what actually promotes development and to lack of appreciation of the complexities involved in assessing the effect of aid. International factors, not least the fact that emerging economies have become providers of aid, will be a major factor in shaping Norwegian development policy. The author quotes the OECD’s 2013 peer review of Norway, which asks the government to consider how the Norwegian State Pension Fund may contribute to development.Keywords: : Consensus-based aid volume, Putnam’s two-level model, Engagement policy, Global thematic initiatives, OECD

The European Administrative system. A framework for analysis
Departing from the observation that both analysts and practitioners face problems of meaningful categorization of the European political-administrative system, this paper suggests a conceptual frame through which this system may be understood. Arguably, the catalogue of concepts of the EU polity fails to acknowledge the administrative dimension. This article sets out a three-folded agenda: Firstly, it offers a supplementary conceptual frame that takes the ‘administrative dimension’ seriously. It is suggested that the European politico-administrative system can be seen as a European multilevel administrative system (MLA). Secondly, the paper suggests how the MLA approach differs from one of its conceptual rivals – the multilevel governance approach (MLG). Finally, the paper offers some empirical illustrations of the MLA approach in the contemporary European administrative system.Keywords: Cooptation, independence, integration, multilevel administration, multilevel governance
