Over the past years, the European security context has changed considerably. Both traditional (Russia-Western tensions) and new threats (migration, terrorism and far-right responses) are challenging European security and stability.

Not only in terms of physical, territorial security, but also in terms of societal security. Indeed, it could be argued that the future of the
European integration project more broadly is under threat.

Today’s changing security environment requires constant adaptations, not only at the institutional level in NATO and the EU, but also for individual states. In this seminar, we ask how the two Nordic non-NATO members, Sweden and Finland, cope with and adapt to the current security situation. How do they relate to a changing European security architecture with the EU and NATO at the core?

This seminar is organized as part of the research project EUNOR, which aims to increase our understanding of how small states balance concerns about autonomy and integration in their relations with Europe and key institutions. Do small states respond to environmental changes by seeking more integration or more autonomy? How do the changing capabilities of small states affect their political room for maneuver?
