The Norwegian Oil Experience: A toolbox for managing resources?
To Read
Description
The Norwegian oil policy is regarded by
many as the only successful example where
a country, after discovering oil, has built a
competent national oil industry, yet still has
managed to maintain an egalitarian welfare
state.
Following the largest environmental disaster
in recent history, the Deepwater Horizon ac-
cident, Norway’s apparent ability to master
the safety and environmental challenges has
received international attention.
Does Norway deserve such praise? Do other
nations really have anything to learn from
the Norwegian oil experience? What exactly
is the Norwegian oil experience?
Historian Helge Ryggvik (dr.philos.) is
employed at the Centre for Technology,
Innovation and Culture at the University of
Oslo. He is the author of several other works
on oil related issues.
