Professor emeritus in journalism at Oslo Met and former Artica resident Rune Ottosen has written an essay series entitled 'Svalbard Under Pressure' which is to be published on Forsvarets forum.

In the series of articles he writes about how the Svalbard Treaty's provision on a ban on military activity is being challenged as a result of new technology and increased interest from the great powers.

The first two parts of the series can be read here. Future parts in the series will be published on a weekly basis.
