Does Norway belong to Western Europe? This provocative question, put to the head of the Norwegian delegation to the conference on the reconstruction of Europe after World War II, begins the history of Norwegian attitudes towards European integration. From 1905 to 1994, Norway opposed practically all types of European and international cooperation. Had Norway's views gained traction, Europe and the world would look very different today. Towards Europe demonstrates how little Norwegians knew before the 1994 referendum about the EU Single Market and the European Economic Area (EEA). The book takes the reader behind the scenes of secret negotiations between the EU and Norway, giving an unprecedented insight into how the EEA works in practice. It illustrates with concrete examples Norway's ability to articulate its views and to be heard in Brussels, from the perspective of both government and interest groups. It also looks at Norway's potential to tackle future EU challenges such as the Energy Union, migration policies, transatlantic trade and the Banking Union.

Towards Europe will provide the reader with pertinent insights into whether the EEA is a suitable alternative for Britain's future relations with the EU.

This edition includes an extra chapter on how to influence the EU from a non-member country.

Paal J. Frisvold is a leading Norwegian expert on the EU and the EEA, with experience of working with the OECD and the EFTA, and as a campaigner for The Bellona Foundation, a Norwegian environmental NGO. Today, he is a writer, a political commentator and an adviser to Norwegian business, industry and civil society in Brussels. Paal Frisvold holds a Masters degree in International Affairs from Johns Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies in Bologna and Washington DC. He fenced for Norway in the Los Angeles Olympic Games in 1984.
