Welcome

to the Department of International Studies of NIBR - the Norwegian Institute for Urban and Regional Research.

Our research  encompasses politics and governance. We engage with change processes, reforms, and new policy measures - and their impact at the regional and local levels. Many of our projects are micro-level studies carried out by multi-disciplinary teams, and often applying a comparative perspective.

Go to NIBR's homepage, for general information about the institute and our research activity.
