The book progresses by first establishing the historical and economic context of Norwegian defense policy, including Norway's long-standing relationship with NATO. It then analyzes the frigate program's costs and strategic rationale before comparing naval spending to the F-35 acquisition. This approach allows for a nuanced understanding of the choices and challenges inherent in modern defense planning.
Norway Defense Spending ultimately questions whether current investments provide optimal value for money and proposes alternative defense strategies, offering valuable insights for policymakers, defense analysts, and anyone interested in national security and international relations.
