Johan Ludwig Mowinckel
Johan Ludwig Mowinckel was a prominent Norwegian statesman and shipowner, who served as Norway's Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs in the early 20th century. He is best known for his efforts during the 1930s to promote international cooperation among small states and to advocate for free trade in response to the rising tide of protectionism and economic nationalism. Mowinckel played a key role in initiating the Oslo Convention, which aimed to prevent a trade war among several European nations, emphasizing the importance of collaboration among small economies in the face of global economic challenges. His vision for Norway was rooted in the belief that a small, open economy could thrive through multilateral agreements and engagement with the international community.
