The purpose of this thesis paper is to answer whether green colonialism occurs in these specific cases, both on international and national level, within the framework of Norway’s climate policy. Thus it is possible to see whether these accusations are legitimate. The thesis is built on the methodological approach idea analysis. Kwame Nkrumahs theory on neocolonialism together with the concept of green colonaialism will be used as the thesis theoretical framework. The thesis concludes that it is possible to find tendencies of green colonialism in these specific cases, and thus concludes legitimacy in the accusations. (Less)
