	Professor Arne Martin Klausen (1927-) is the
only social anthropologist in Norway who has tried to analyse the culture of the
country as a whole. In doing this, he has explored several central themes of
the country¡¯s culture; like egalitarianism, the class journey, the strong
tradition for development aid to poor countries, connected to a so-called
humanitarian super-power which in its turn was an extension of Christian
mission, the very wide-spread newspaper reading; however self-centered to
national and local issues and finally, the collision between an elitist Olympic
culture with Norwegian egalitarianism. Klausen also tried to tie some threads
together in editing a collection of essays on Norwegian culture.
