Russian
actions
in
Ukraine
in
2014
have
prompted
an
urgent
reassessment
of
the
defense
posture
of
many
European
nations.
The
Nordic
states
(Sweden,
Finland,
Norway,
Denmark,
and
Iceland)
in
particular
are
grappling
with
a
2-decade
legacy
of
defense
drawdowns
and
repositioning
for
expeditionary
warfare.
The
challenge
for
these
nations
is
how
to
resurrect
a
credible
military
deterrent
in
the
face
of
continuing
Russian
assertiveness.
One
attractive
option
is
closer
defense
cooperation
between
the
Nordic
states,
but
moves
in
this
direction
are
slow
and
faltering.
Political
complications
include
the
deeply
ambivalent
attitude
of
Sweden
and
Finland
to
the
prospect
of
NATO
membership.
In
this
monograph,
two
leading
Nordic
defense
experts
assess
the
progress
of
cooperation
to
date,
both
within
the
region
and
externally
with
the
United
States,
and
offer
specific
recommendations
for
urgently
enhancing
both.
