Abstract

How can ‘small’ and politically peripheral states have a significant impact on issues dominated by big states? For example, how did Norway come to play such an important role in fostering negotiations between Israel and the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) in the early 1990s? This article seeks to answer these questions by analyzing Norway's relationship with Israel and the PLO from 1948 until 1993, as well as Norway's role during the negotiations that led to the signing of the first Oslo Accord. Seen through the theoretical framework of small-state mediation, Norway's lack of influence might have helped convince the parties to open dialogue, but it also implied an inability to provide a level playing field for just negotiations.
挪威在奥斯陆进程中真正发挥了什么作用?
“小国”和政治边缘国家如何对大国主导的问题产生重大影响?例如,挪威是如何在1990年代初促进以色列和巴勒斯坦解放组织(巴解组织)之间的谈判中发挥如此重要的作用的?本文试图通过分析挪威与以色列和巴解组织从1948年到1993年的关系,以及挪威在导致签署第一份奥斯陆协议的谈判中所扮演的角色,来回答这些问题。从小国调解的理论框架来看,挪威缺乏影响力可能有助于说服各方展开对话,但这也意味着它无法为公正的谈判提供一个公平的竞争环境。
