Finnish and Swedish Perspectives on NATO Membership
Finland and Sweden have made the historic choice to apply to NATO, but there's a lot of misunderstanding out there about the context for these decisions. To talk through it all, David Priess sat down with Emanuel \xd6rtengren, the acting director of the Stockholm Free World Forum, a Swedish foreign and security policy think tank; Minna \xc5lander from the German Institute for International and Security Affairs, where she focuses on northern Europe and Nordic security; and Henri Vanhanen a foreign policy advisor to Finland\u2019s center-right National Coalition Party. They discussed the history of Finnish and Swedish nonalignment, the shift in public and government opinion toward NATO in recent months, and both countries\u2019 processes for applying to the alliance.
