This article surveys the degree of central bank independence in Norway between 1945 and 1970. By comparing the developments in Norway with those of Sweden and the United Kingdom, it is shown that the Norwegian central bank had less room for maneuver than in the other countries. In spite of a high legal independence, the actual performance of central bank operations was almost completely subordinated the instructions given by the Ministry of Finance. A particular vivid, dirigiste environment followed the experiences of the 1930s and the war in Norway, curtailing any effort to make the central bank an independent institution in the machinery of state economic management that followed the return to peace. ; publishedVersion

This study aims to find the concept of prevention and treatment for citizens related to human trafficking carried out by local governments. Empirically, the problem of human trafficking is a violation of human rights related to the right to personal freedom. The majority of these crimes afflict vulnerable groups, such as women and children. On this basis, this study uses a qualitative approach with a descriptive method. The data in this study were taken using in-depth interviews, observation, and documentation techniques. This study uses a constructivist perspective, which is to build ideas through data so as to produce a complete picture. The results show that the model for preventing and handling human trafficking must be collaborative with the central government and institutions dealing with human trafficking issues at the local level. An important aspect that local governments need to focus on is obtaining valid data on maps of human trafficking problems in their administrative areas. This will support efforts to prevent and handle victims of human trafficking involving government and non-government elements. An important aspect of the model for preventing and dealing with human trafficking is that local governments need to increase public participation in campaigning against human trafficking.
