Journal Title: Scientific Journal of the Military University of Land Forces - Year 2011, Vol 161, Issue 3
Abstract
Finland is not a NATO member but continues close cooperation with NATO structures and forces. Finnish relations with NATO have been determining on one hand by internal factors (Finnish neutrality doctrine, public opinion), on the other – by developments of global security system. New security situation after 1990 led to fundamental changes in the conditions on which defence policy is based. Finland has now strong ambition to participate actively in most international peace-keeping endeavors. In 1994 an agreement was signed on Finnish participation in the NATO-sponsored Partnership for Peace. Since this date Finland is deeply involved in military cooperation with NATO), esp. during peace-support operation.The article goes through the questions of impact of Finnish integration with NATO on the Finnish defence system. The aim is to discuss how NATO’s membership would influence Finnish defence structures, capabilities and Finnish military policy.
