Abstract

The security environment in the Nordic region is rapidly changing as a result of Russia’s war of aggression, which has various political, social, and economic ramifications. The most obvious implications are to do with hard security arrangements including increasing military spending and updating security strategies across the Nordics and the Baltics. There are also identity-related implications as the Nordics needs to re-think their collective identities and relations to the neighbouring regions. The second issue of The Nordic Review of International Studies (NRIS) investigates the Nordics from the perspective of identity.
