Andreas Østhagen

Summary

Andreas Østhagen is a Research Professor at the Fridtjof Nansen Institute (FNI). He conducts research on the political dynamics of the Arctic and High North, with a particular focus on security and geopolitics. 

Østhagen's work seeks to capture the complexity of cooperation and conflict in the Arctic, examining the interests and actions of key actors such as Norway, the EU, the United States, and China, as the region undergoes physical and political transformation. His research draws on empirical work and case studies to develop a broader understanding of maritime boundaries (and the disputes surrounding them), as well as to explore questions of ocean ownership and the evolving geopolitical landscape at sea.
