Abstract

The notion that some European parliamentary democracies might have become more ‘presidentialised’, with power focused around a Prime Minister, has received significant attention in certain countries, such as the UK. Ahead of the Norwegian elections in September, Kristoffer Kolltveit assesses how convincing this account is in the case of Norway. He notes that while there is little evidence that Norway has become presidentialised during the government of Jens Stoltenberg, power does appear to have become more concentrated in Norwegian cabinets.
