Politics behind Nobel Peace PrizeMili Mitra, in an article in the Brown Political Review in 2016, "Not so noble, the politics behind the Nobel Peace Prize," contends that the prize risks losing its legitimacy. The Nobel Peace Prize is no stranger to controversy. The Peace Prize has evolved in other ways since it was first conceived in 1895. In his memoir released in 2015, Geir Lundestad, revealed remorse over the decision to give President Obama the Nobel Peace Prize in 2009. The Nobel Peace Prize was developed at the bequest of the Swedish chemist, engineer and the inventor of dynamite, Alfred Nobel, who left much of his fortune for the establishment of the Nobel prizes.
