Download or read book Finland s Security Solution written by Simo Alho and published by . This book was released on 2001 with total page 29 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: According to the Program of Prime Minister Paavo Lipponen's second Government the aim of Finland's foreign and security policy is to strengthen the country's security and international influence as well as to promote the country's interests in a world of increasing cooperation. The Government's main objective is the consolidation of relations with Russia, the Nordic countries and the Baltic States. It is a stated fact that the cornerstone of Finland's security policy is a credible defense and non-alliance. However, the Government is also strongly committed to a further strengthening of the European Union's (EU) Common Foreign and Security Policy (CFSP) and the EU's ability to react to crises with its own military power. The three Baltic States see NATO membership as a way to guarantee their safety and promote prosperity for their countries. Many other Eastern European countries are seeking similar solutions or have already joined NATO. Russia, on one hand, fiercely opposes NATO's enlargement eastward, while on the other hand is seeking cooperation with the EU. Sweden and Finland are the only Nordic countries, which are not members of NATO. The Government's current written security policy on non-alliance is somewhat inconsistent with actual practice. Therefore, to guarantee Finland's security in the future, it must choose whether to remain a non-aligned member of the EU striving for a militarily strong European Union, or seek membership in NATO. In deciding the future course of action, Finland must take into consideration the contradictory objectives and security policies of its neighboring countries. The thinking and reasoning of the nation's leaders and common citizens cannot be understood without knowing the history. The fierce, desperate, and often frustrating experiences of the past provide an understanding of the viewpoints and choices for Finland today.

Download or read book Finland s Security Solution in the Future written by Petri Mattila and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 27 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Finland's current security strategy will not prove beneficial for the nation without profound and concrete changes. Nordic and EU cooperation have been presented as alternatives to NATO membership. The complexity of taking into account the public opinion, Finnish political relation and the economic relations of both to Russia and the EU is point of the equation. As an EU-member state it cannot ignore any of these factors and it has to reconsider its foreign and security policy to coordinate the upcoming decisions over the European security arrangements. This paper examines different strategic security possibilities for Finland: 1) to rely on EU resources as a primary means for national security, 2) to rely on NATO capabilities, and 3) to rely on Nordic cooperation. The solution can also be a practical combination of all three. This paper concludes with recommendations based on consequences of each option.

Download or read book Remapping Security on Europe s Northern Borders written by Jussi P. Laine and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-05-04 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book critically analyses the changing EU-Russian security environment in the wake of the Ukraine crisis, with a particular focus on northern Europe where the EU and the Russian Federation share a common border. Russian involvement in conflict situations in the EU’s immediate neighbourhood has drastically impacted the European security environment, leading to a resurgence of competitive great power relations. The book uses the EU-Russia interface at the borders of Finland and the European North as a prism through which interwoven external and internal security challenges can be explored. Security is considered in the broadest sense of the term, as the authors consider how the security environment is reflected politically, socially and culturally within European societies. The book analyses changing political language and concepts, institutional preparedness, border governance, human security, migration and wider challenges to societal resilience. Ultimately, the book investigates into Finland’s preparedness to address new global security challenges and to find solutions to them on an everyday level. This book will be an important guide for researchers and upper-level students of security, border studies, Russian and European studies, as well as to policy makers looking to develop a wider, contextualized understanding of the challenges to stability and security in different parts of Europe.
