The fourth lecture in the Havighurst Center's Fall 2024 Colloquium series, "Humanity and the Arctic."
Svein Vigeland Rottem's main research interests are within the fields of Arctic security, Arctic governance, science-policy interface, and the Arctic Council. His PhD (Political Science) was on the Norwegian defence establishment’s encounter with new post-cold war realities, emphasizing, among other things, security in the Arctic. In recent years, however, his research focus has been on Arctic and global environmental governance, maritime safety issues in the Arctic, science-policy influence, and the Arctic Council.
