Baltic Sea Region and security cooperation
“Bilateral and multilateral relations between countries around the Baltic Sea form the very immediate and natural international sphere of cooperation. We have to follow and be aware of phenomena and changes in our operative environment. “

U.S. Baltic Sea Region engagement: What’s changed?
“As I described in these pages two years ago, U.S. linkages and collaboration with Baltic Sea region partners are both broad and deep, based on mutual interests and a commitment to shared values. During the intervening period, our engagement with regional partners has only increased, and I can say without equivocation that U.S. engagement here contributes to regional stability.”

One thing missing in Finland
“The Finnish general election ended in a seemingly expected result. But there was a big difference from debates before. Almost nothing was said about foreign policy and Finland’s geopolitical place in the world.”

FDI geography: cultural proximity vs. geopolitical barriers
“Our analysis of CDIS data shows that 22.4% of Austrian inward FDI stock has German origin, 25.5% of Belgian inward FDI stock is French and 35.9% of Finnish FDI stock is Swedish. Even long geographical distance cannot be an obstacle for cultural proximity influence on FDI.”
