  • The Nordic Countries and the European Security and Defence Policy
    9. Hardware politics, ‘hard politics’ or ‘where, politics?’: Nordic defence equipment cooperation in the EU context Björn Hagelin I. Introduction This chapter addresses two questions: 1. What has been the situation with regard to Nordic—Danish, Finnish, Norwegian and Swedish1—defence equipment cooperation during the past 10 years? 2. Can sub-regional Nordic cooperation in this sphere survive and, if so, can it contribute to Europe-wide cooperation in the framework of the European Union? The chapter examines the Nordic development, production and procurement of defence equipment. Transfers of such equipment and defence industrial relations, including offset policies, are reviewed in section II. Of special interest is the role of the USA, as both a competitor to and a partner with European countries; this is illustrated by Nordic participation in the US Joint Strike Fighter (JSF) combat aircraft project (see section III). In section IV broader aspects of Nordic and EU defence equipment cooperation are discussed.2 II. Nordic defence equipment cooperation Arms deliveries As shown by SIPRI data on arms transfers, in the 11-year period 1993–2003 there was a relatively low volume of direct deliveries of major weapons from one Nordic country to another, including manufacture under licence.3 Of all possible transfer relations between the four countries, SIPRI data suggest that the most significant transfers of major weapons have taken place from Sweden to Norway (20 per cent of all Swedish deliveries), from Finland to Sweden (29 per cent of Finland’s deliveries) and from Finland to Norway (15 per cent 1 Its lack of an indigenous defence industry means that Iceland is not included.
