to

In February 2009 Thorvald Stoltenberg presented his report "Nordic co-operation on foreign and defence policy" to the Nordic foreign ministers. The report presents a number of policy areas and occasions for closer and more wide-ranging Nordic partnerships in foreign and security affairs. Since the report was presented the EU Treaty of Lisbon has entered into force, which, amongst other things, has introduced new conditions for foreign and security policies. What does the Treaty of Lisbon mean for the possibilities of closer Nordic co-operation? What is the case in the Nordic countries today with regard to enlarged forms of co-operation in foreign and security policies, and how far has work progressed with realising the Stoltenberg report?
