Abstract
The Finnish proposal for a Nordic nuclear-free zone has once again become the focus of a lively foreign policy discussion in Northern Europe. No doubt this round of debate was rekindled by President Urho Kekkonen’s speech of May 1978 in Stockholm. The discussion was spurred on by the Swedish response outlined during Foreign Minister Hans Blix’s visit to Finland in November, and it was further fuelled by the Soviet views presented under the pseudonym of Juri Komissarov in the December issue of the Finnish journal Kanava.
