This book analyses the foreign policy and science diplomacy models of 10 Northern European countries, focusing on the Baltic Sea and European Arctic regions.Through a comparative, regionally grounded approach spanning post-Cold War developments to current geopolitical tensions, the volume analyses each country’s foreign policy framework alongside its science diplomacy model—covering normative foundations, institutional mechanisms, and strategic priorities. The book draws attention to how small and medium-sized states deploy science diplomacy not only as a tool of soft power and cooperation, but increasingly as a strategic resource in a competitive, security-conscious global environment. It goes beyond a mere examination of official documents and the activities of institutions and governmental bodies, particularly ministries of foreign affairs and science, responsible for shaping and implementing foreign and science policies. Rather, the study also takes into account the engagement of a broader and more diverse group of stakeholders. By integrating foreign policy analysis with science diplomacy models, the volume provides a comparative and policy-relevant perspective for understanding how scientific collaboration shapes international relations and regional governance.This book will be of much interest to students of diplomacy studies, foreign policy, European politics and International Relations.

'In a world where foreign policy has become increasingly complex and science diplomacy may be more critical than ever, it valueable 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
