Synopsis

"Scandinavia is the half-forgotten sub-continent of Europe. In his trenchant analysis, Ingemar Dörfer shows why, in the wake of the Cold War, explicit mutual commitment should inform the new relationship between the old neutrals Sweden and Finland and the Western Alliance as a whole. An outstanding member of the transatlantic security community, Dörfer has written a compelling book that will shape the strategic debate on and in the Nordic world for years to come." -- Josef Joffe, Harvard University

"Dörfer's book shows the way" -- Stockholm Dagens Nyheter

Sweden and Finland continue to stand outside NATO. The Nordic Nations in the New Western Security Regime argues carefully and vigorously that they should join. Ingemar Dörfer builds his case from a variety of materials, covering the security situation of northern Europe, the military organizations and commitments of the Scandinavian countries, and the future of NATO in the web of pan-European political, economic, and military institutions.
