The Northern EU. National Views on the Emerging Security Dimension
This book focuses on the northern enlargement of the EU and its impact on the Common Foreign and Security Policy. The EU gained a Northern Dimension when Finland and Sweden joined the Union in 1995. This enlargement to the North, like any enlargement in the past, broadened the agenda of the EU, and the Nordic members have been working within the Union to make their voices heard. How do the member states perceive the Northern Security Dimension of the Union? What are the main challenges in the North? What is their relative signifigance? What should the role of the EU be in addressing them? These questions are answered by security policy experts from the member states.
Volume produced within the framework of the research project "The Northern Dimension of the CFSP".
