Download or read book New Nordic Peace Nordic Peace and Conflict Resolution Efforts written by Hagemann, Anine and published by Nordic Council of Ministers. This book was released on 2019-04-09 with total page 57 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For a long time, the Nordic countries have been a region of peace, with the ability to resolve conflicts peacefully among themselves, and a region for peace, actively promoting peace globally. Although efforts to actively brand the Nordic region are ongoing, the Nordic Peace brand is an area with untapped potential. The Nordics have rich traditions for working together on peace and conflict resolution. These joint efforts have grown organically and informally from like-mindedness, letting the common Nordic culture and ways of working foster integration among them where relevant. The people working in the Nordic countries on Nordic cooperation and peace recognize the potential of strengthening the Nordic Peace brand. One area of special potential is increasing focus on the shared Nordic priorities of prevention and the women, peace and security agenda as part of the Nordic Peace brand.
Download or read book Nordic Cooperation written by Johan Strang and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-07-16 with total page 227 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The recent crises in global economy and in European integration have caused a considerable revival of interest in the Nordic Welfare Model. However, less attention has been given to the ways in which the nations that form Scandinavia or ‘Norden’ are connected through various forms of inter- and transnational cooperation. With contributions from a team of experts in the field, this volume analyses Nordic cooperation in a European perspective and argues that this special form of transnational cooperation has been crucial in the development of the Nordic Welfare Model. In addition, it also contends that the Nordic model of transnational cooperation is a relevant case study when pondering the present problems of European integration. This text will be of key interest to students, researchers and policy makers studying the Nordic Model and transnational cooperation and more generally to those interested in European studies, Scandinavian studies, welfare studies, international relations and regional integration.
Download or read book Foreign Policies Of Northern Europe written by Bengt Sundelius and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-04-05 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This cross-national treatment of the foreign policies of Northern Europe—Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway, Sweden—is organized by substantive policy areas rather than by country, thus allowing most-similar-case analyses of several dimensions of the countries' international relations. The authors make comparisons among the countries in each area of investigation and present details of security, international development, and neighborhood and foreign policy processes. They also describe and explain international and domestic forces that shape the region's external policies. The combination of sound, empirically based data and attention to broader international and theoretical interests allows relevant comparisons with other advanced industrial states.

Download or read book The United Nordic Federation written by Gunnar Wetterberg and published by Nordic Council of Ministers. This book was released on 2010 with total page 86 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Nordic Region 2030: The five Nordic countries have formed a federal political entity - the United Nordic Federation. The new federation, with its joint constitution, joint government and population of 25 million, is a brand-new and major player on the European stage - well it would be if the countries have the courage to make it happen. The controversial historian Gunnar Wetterberg provides objective and detailed arguments for a new Nordic federation. A real federation, with responsibility for foreign and defence policy, the economic framework and all of the key legislative areas, from immigration to social policy. Last year, Wetterberg breathed new life into the debate about the rebirth of the Kalmar Union. The emotional, hard-hitting debate resonated all the way to Germany, Spain and Italy. He now presents his vision of the United Nordic Federation in theNordic Council and Nordic Council of Ministers' Yearbook 2010. His highly controversial proposal is expected to reignite the debate in all five of the Nordic countries.
Download or read book Strategic Use of Public private Cooperation in the Nordic Region written by Guðrið Weihe and published by Nordic Council of Ministers. This book was released on 2011 with total page 134 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Nordic welfare states are facing significant demographic challenges now and in the future. At the same time life expectancy of the citizens is increasing. Thus more senior citizens need to be cared for by still fewer young people of taxable age. This development undermines the financial sustainability of the Nordic welfare state and presents a major medium to long-term challenge for the Nordic countries, if the high welfare service levels are to be sustained in the decades to come. One of the solutions to this challenge could be the implementation of new welfare technologies and innovative solutions which can increase efficiency of service providers and deliver more value for money. The aim of the project is to increase knowledge about public-private partnerships in the five Nordic countries, Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Finland and Iceland, with a focus on the welfare sectors in these countries. Focus is on the following sectors: children and youth, elderly and handicapped, disease prevention, education, treatment and rehabilitation. The overall objective is to increase understanding of approaches, effects and perspectives in the use of public-private partnerships, in particular public-private innovation partnerships. This includes the use of public-private partnerships as a strategic tool for new business development for welfare solutions in the Nordic region.

This book was released on 2019-10-23 with total page 21 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seminar paper from the year 2018 in the subject Politics - Topic: Peace and Conflict, Security, grade: B, University of Tartu (Johan Skytte Institute of Political Studies), course: SORG.04.010: Security Politics, language: English, abstract: This paper asks why states that are already members of alliances regionalize their defence cooperation. Or, in the selected case, why do Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway and Sweden cooperate in the framework of Nordic Defence Cooperation (NORDEFCO) although they are either member of NATO, the EU or both? In a globalized interdependent world, membership in multiple alliances and frameworks of cooperation is not rare. Cooperation on defence issues is not the only one having an influence on security but the area with the most direct one. Taking the diverging interests and problems of European states such as capability gaps into account that create different needs and possibilities, it is plausible to theorize that regionalization of defence cooperation is caused by a dissatisfaction how the existing alliance addresses those needs. The main motivations stated by politicians are economic benefits and great homogeneity of the Nordic security community. Deduced from that I propose two hypotheses, one that sees the perceived need to save funds as proportional to the probability of seeking regionalization and the other putting the urgency of such a need into the same positive relationship to the regionalization of defence cooperation. The third hypothesis relates the regionalization back to the defence-related alliance(s) the respective states are already part of by suggesting that regionalization is a way to exert influence over alliances that a state is not part of. There are scholars who argue that what NORDEFCO aims to do is better handled directly through NATO or the EU because duplication is a real risk leading to a less efficient utilization of resources (Petersson, 2010c; Hofmann, 2009) or decrease the centrality of NATO and the EU as institutions (Stiftung Wissenschaft und Politik, 2015). Regionalization of defence cooperation is an ambivalent policy that is not always perceived positively and does not automatically create more security.
