Denationalisation of Defence: Convergence and Diversity

The Denationalisation of Defence consists of two major parts; first, a generic and analytical section which presents the developmental trends in privitisation and internationalization of armed force, and second, an empirical section analyzing the impact of these trends on the Nordic countries' defence and security sectors. The Nordic countries have a special relevance as objects of study given their traditionally strong public spheres and state-orientated systems of governance. This volume questions whether the process of denationalization has reached a point where countries are reacting to changes in their security environment by increasingly introducing elements of privitisation and international integration.
