Episode 11 - A Conversation with Norwegian Diplomat Stian Nordengen Christensen

In Episode 11 we have Oslo on the line, and engage in a wide-ranging conversation with Norwegian diplomat Stian Nordengen Christensen (b. 1980). Stian is a doctor of history and philosophy and a master of law. His professional background is from academia, NGOs and government. Since 2005, he has worked as a diplomat in the Norwegian foreign service. Dr. Christensen’s main research interest is the intersection between international politics and international law. His latest publication is the book “Possibilities and Impossibilities in a Contradictory Global Order” (2018), on the evolving international system and opportunities for change, particularly within the peace and security architecture, and in international humanitarian and human rights law. Dr. Christensen’s academic publications are written in a personal capacity, and do not necessarily reflect the views of the Norwegian Ministry of Foreign Affairs. During this episode of Jointly Venturing, we review Stian's excellent 2018 book, and explore issues ranging from the viability of world citizenship and a Global Parliament and lessons to be learned from the European Union.
