Abstract

This article investigates the defence policies of the Nordic and Baltic countries from the perspective of shared security culture. To that end, the article analyses conceptualisations of total defence and resilience in a comparative perspective and inquires into existing and prospective regional cooperation in this area, in order to determine to what degree there exists a common security culture based on shared norms and identities and manifested in practices of security cooperation. The study, which draws on 19 interviews with civil servants from the eight states of the region, shows that while there is fertile ground for a shared security culture to emerge, thus far, due to variations in conceptualisations, threat perceptions, and interaction preferences, only three Nordic states show clear signs of a shared security culture. The study contributes to existing research by situating the concept of resilience in (total) defence discourses; by expanding the theoretical work on security culture to an international context; and by offering a unique empirical account of the process of (re)building total defence policies in a region crucial to European security.
通过全面防御增强复原力:在北欧-波罗的海地区建立共同的安全文化?
本文从共同安全文化的角度研究了北欧和波罗的海国家的国防政策。为此,文章从比较的角度分析了全面防卫和复原力的概念,并调查了这一领域现有和未来的区域合作,以确定在多大程度上存在着基于共同规范和身份并体现在安全合作实践中的共同安全文化。这项研究通过对该地区八个国家的公务员进行 19 次访谈,结果表明,虽然共同安全文化的形成有肥沃的土壤,但到目前为止,由于在概念、威胁感和互动偏好方面存在差异,只有三个北欧国家显示出共同安全文化的明显迹象。本研究将复原力概念置于(全面)防御论述中,将安全文化的理论工作扩展到国际背景下,并对一个对欧洲安全至关重要的地区(重新)制定全面防御政策的过程进行了独特的实证论述,从而为现有研究做出了贡献。
