The Willing, the Hesitant and the Late-comer – Converging Stabilisation Efforts by Denmark, Norway and Sweden

Addressing vulnerability and promoting security
Oct 16, 2018 | Danish Institute for International Studies, Christine Nissen, Peter Albrecht

Denmark, Norway and Sweden have chosen widely different paths in their respective commitments to peace and stabilisation. Each has its own awkward relationship with key western security institutions: Denmark has its EU defence opt-out; Sweden is a non-NATO member of the EU; and Norway is a non-EU member of NATO. In this Policy Brief by the Danish Institute for International Studies, Christine Nissen and Peter Albrecht suggest that as the European security environment has changed, the three countries are finding more common ground in their outlooks on security. Joint policy planning at the political and operational levels would allow the three to formulate common interests and promote these in NATO, the EU and the UN thereby furthering their own security and global stability.
