Jakobson tells the story of a small nation that has emerged a
winner from the ordeals of the twentieth century. Finland is still
widely remembered for its successful resistance against Soviet
attempts to subjugate it during World War II, but less is known
about the skillful balancing act by which Finns preserved their
independence and way of life during the Cold War. Finland is in
fact one of the few European nations that can claim an unbroken
record of democratic rule ever since the beginning of the 20th
century. By joining the European Union, Finland has now finally
moved out of Moscow's shadow and, thanks to investment in education
and technological development, has joined the dozen most prosperous
nations in the world. The Finnish experience casts new light on the
central issues facing Europe today--for example, the contradiction
between the continuing vitality of nationalism and the pressures of
integration, as well as the challenge of how to relate to Russia,
still an unknown factor in the European security equation. This is
a major work for all scholars and researchers of Scandinavian and
European Studies.
