Transitional period covering the end of the long AP hegemony and the first centre-coalition experiment. Economic school: Norwegian social- democratic / Christian-centrist oil-revenue stewardship — continuation of the Government Petroleum Fund (renamed 2006 to Government Pension Fund Global) framework with a cautious fiscal stance. Jagland AP set the famous 36.9% benchmark ("unless we beat Brundtland's 1993 result of 36.9%, I resign") and lost. Bondevik I assembled a minority KrF-Sp-V coalition around social values and rural interests, fell in March 2000 over a gas-power plant environmental dispute (Kaarstoe/ Kollsnes). Left-right axis: centre-left (Jagland), centre (Bondevik). Dated policies: Petroleum Fund first deposit (May 1996), cash-for-care kontantstoette (1998), 1998 banking-crisis resolution reversal. Popularity: Jagland government survived less than a year; Bondevik I fell on a parliamentary vote 17 March 2000. Coherence: low — short-lived, formed under unusual conditions.
