Epilogue: Nordic Strategic Culture:
Over the past decade there has been a resurgence of interest in the study of strategic culture. The articles in this special issue consequently address important aspects of this resurgence, especially the use of empirical case studies of specific countries and theoretical themes related to how we conceptualize strategic culture itself. Equally, the case studies in this volume examine Nordic strategic culture during changing times, while the theoretical article illuminates a novel means both for understanding the issue of change and how the concept of culture itself could be re-formulated. What is also a noticeable factor in these studies is that the end of the Cold War, although heartily welcomed, has generated new questions that have challenged the traditional strategies of the Nordic countries. These states thus provide an interesting array of conceptual and empirical issues related to strategic culture that are explored in this epilogue.
