  4. Nordic defence and security cooperation: Some comparative advantages and lessons from the European integration process Comparative advantages: • A small group of like minded countries ... • Geographic proximity • Similarity in strategic culture after all ... • Positive experience of cooperation in other policy areas Lessons from the European integration process: • Focus on pragmatic interests & benefits, not big ideals! • Functional & political spill over works! • Keep the cooperation small and flexible! • Avoid unnecessary 2-level games conflicts and sovereignty traps! • Don’t be afraid of dependencies – they may be the key to trust!
