ABSTRACT
This article is a summing up of Ine Marie Eriksen Sereide's work as Norway's foreign minister in the years 2017-2021. The first part assesses Sereide's room for manoeuvre. Domestically, this was excellent, although Sereide's boss, the prime minister, broke one of her bats for domestic reasons and grounded her during the Covid lockdowns. Internationally, Sereide had to deal with Donald Trump, arguably the weakest and least engaged president the United States has had since its civil war. She also had to stand up to the increasingly aggres-sive policy of neighbouring Russia. Sereide steered the ship of state with a steady hand. She was, however, less than loyal to her employees, and demon-strated little creativity. Still, she must be ranked as the best foreign minister from the bourgeois side of the floor over the last half century.
