Norwegian here!
I'd like to take the opportunity to say that the feeling at the time was that we got left out in the storm by ourselves by other western countries once the Chinese sanctions came on. In the direct aftermath everyone else just kinda looked the other way, and in the long run there is no way a tiny country like us can withstand that pressure over time.
- lr4444lr 9y agoDo you and your countrymen ever doubt whether the potential political toxicity of the prize is worth it for Norway to maintain sole administration? Has there ever been talk of transferring it to something like a multi-country consortium under the U.N.?
- epmaybe 9y agoI like this plan, but I'd imagine in Alfred Nobel's will there is something requiring that the peace prize be awarded only in Norway.
- pmontra 9y agoI imagine what it should have been like. For once, I didn't even remember the issue. Sorry for that. I found this analysis comparing the sanctions to Norway and Mongolia and the final result. https://cpianalysis.org/2017/02/22/the-costs-of-normalisation-norway-and-mongolia-respond-to-chinese-sanctions/ https://cpianalysis.org/2017/02/22/the-costs-of-normalisatio...
