Åsta Dyrnes Nordø

Åsta Dyrnes Nordø is a political scientist at the University of Bergen (UiB) who specializes in electoral behavior and public opinion. In recent discussions about Norway's defense policy, she noted that the lack of attention to security issues during the election campaign may stem from a general consensus among political parties on support for NATO and aid to Ukraine. Nordø advocates for a more policy-focused election discourse, expressing a desire to see greater emphasis on substantive political issues rather than mere opinion polls.
