In this article I adopt the opposite approach to the one used previously in my research on Norwegian international cooperation with indigenous peoples, where I set out from what was observable in Brazil to construct my initial working hypotheses. Here I intend to explore what I managed to observe in Norway concerning the role of Christian missionary and philanthropic organ-izations in the universe of international cooperation in order to formulate new research questions. In so doing I hope to contribute to our understanding of some of the contemporary processes involved in State formation and nation building (Elias, 1972). Elements of the latter have been identified in fragmen-tary form in the recent anthropological literature, where authors have tended to emphasize either the contemporary emergence of humanitarian governance (Fassin, 2012), or the presence of multiculturalist proposals associated with neoliberal approaches to government (Hale, 2002; Boccara, 2010). Other topics include the power mechanisms embedded in the actions of the development industry (Hobbart, 1993; Ferguson, 1994; Escobar, 1995; Rist, 1999) or the dif-ficulties of undertaking ethnography in the kinds of elite spaces in which anthropologists themselves are immersed stakeholders (Mosse, 2005). These are just some of the themes to intersect in the wide-ranging and open-bor-dered area labelled, successively, ‘aid for development,’ ‘assistance for develop-ment’ or ‘cooperation for development’ since its formal emergence at the end
