Economic aspects of Finland’s development in the context of Finnish cooperation with NATO

Abstract. The work is dedicated to the issues of integration into transatlantic security structures. Based on the example of Finland, it shows different attitudes of Nordic countries to such integration and to the defence and security policy. It is addressed to the possible future membership of Finland in NATO. The concluding part is dedicated to economic aspects with a focus on exports. The article analyses the stagnation of the Finnish economy and its impact on the reduction of defence spendings.
