This research provides an analysis of Norway's security
policy from World War II to the present. The growth of
Soviet military power and the Norwegian response in the
evolution of its security policy are discussed in order to
discern the strength of NATO's northern flank. The
adequacy of Norway's policy of detente and reassurance has
been questioned with respect to the premise of warning time
and reinforcement. Norway's policy has been successful,
but with increasing national disunity regarding NATO's
nuclear policy, the questionable "guarantee of reinforcement,"
and the need for political courage and decisiveness
in a crisis. Given Norwegian disunity, the Soviet Union
may be able to achieve limited goals in the North without
resorting to force.
