| Summary / Abstract (Note) | The Nordic states have embraced the thesis that development and security are strongly interdependent. While they have been heavily and continuously involved in Africa as donors in the development field, their military engagement is less consistent. The article argues that the foreign policy strategies of the Nordic states are designed to maximize international influence by enhancing their reputations and images. However, those foreign policies are divided into separate policy fields, or segments, working within their own international frameworks. Since different international frameworks appreciate actions and behaviour differently, national integration of development-security strategies is very difficult to achieve |
