The project on Finnish foreign and security policy is a strategic excellence initiative that solidifies one key area of FIIA’s research mission. The initiative is supervised by the Director. The project produces strategic level research on Finnish foreign and security policy; it explores geostrategic positioning of Finland and provides both public debate and policy makers with perspectives and assessments of Finnish foreign and security policy and related policy options. The project aims to support and facilitate the development of broader Finnish Foreign and Security Policy research, drawing on existing networks and bringing together experts in the field in the form of publications and events. In 2020, the project will focus on the Swedish-Finnish defence and security cooperation. FIIA’s Finnish foreign policy project has previously consisted of a seminar series on Finnish foreign policy, EILEN archive and Finnish Foreign Policy Papers publication series.
The project has ended. This project is included in a new programme https://fiia.fi/en/program/finnish-foreign-policy-northern-european-security-and-nato
