'In a world where foreign policy has become increasingly complex and science diplomacy may be more critical than ever, it valuable to examine specific issues and circumstances. Science Diplomacy and Foreign Policy in Northern Europe provides a rich collection of case studies that deepen our understanding of the actors, institutions, and relationships that are critical in foreign affairs.'Jennifer Spence, Director, Arctic Initiative, Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs, Harvard Kennedy School'The book offers a fascinating read. It lines up the latest foreign policy strategies of Northern European states, going into details of their active employment for science diplomacy. The volume clearly demonstrates that soft security measures, such as science diplomacy and internationalization of education and science can be valuable resources for seeking recognition and influence in the world that allegedly is bound to rely on hard security and self-regarding national interest as a way forward.'Kazimierz Musiał, Senior Adviser at the Council of the Baltic Sea States Secretariat
