The Assessment of the State of Norwegian Democracy
Report | Date: 21/05/2025 | Ministry of Local Government and Regional Development
The status analysis was commissioned by the Ministry of Local Government and Regional Development and conducted by researchers at the University of Oslo.
Democracy is measured broadly, based on five different democratic dimensions that cover all aspects of a democracy. Furthermore, the analysis encompasses all levels—national, regional, and local. The researchers have also developed democracy indicators that are better suited to highlighting strengths and vulnerabilities in high-quality democracies, such as the Nordic countries, compared to existing measures.
