Abstract

The microstate of Norway unlike traditional theories of international relations (Hardwareist and paying attention to the great powers / states) has been able to create a respectable role in the internal and international disputes by focusing on the soft power embedded in relative advantages, transnational branding and invaluable image. Question of writing is norway 's reputation in peace diplomacy.the authors, considering the framework of Nation branding attempted to show how Norway (despite its marginal status and scarce resources) has managed to show itself as an acceptable and pro-peace figure( peacemaking/peace keeping) in international conflicts; What many great countries with a great deal of resources have been unable to do. transnational branding of Norwegians in Peace diplomacy was a consequence of focusing on the cultural advantages inherent in the Norwegian nation - state structure.Institution building, legal / financial support for peacebuilding and peacekeeping, Participation in peace in numerous domestic and international conflicts and The rich literature of Norwegian peace is one of the research findings that confirm the hypothesis.
