This master‘s thesis aims to unpack the discourses on Finnish Foreign Policy after Ukrainian Crisis towards Russia,NATO and Sweden. Referring to the timeframe from 2014 to 2020, this thesis tries to answer question How or Finnish Foreign Policy Discourse changed towards Russia,NATO and Sweden. The main analysis refers to the official speeches and interviews of the Finnish President, Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs. Also Governmental Reports on Foreign and Security Policy. This thesis finds that some changes have occurred in Finnish Foreign Policy after 2014, but they are not prominent, but more expected. First of all, Finland asssociated itself as Western identity, so it supported it's western allies to sanction policy towards Russia, and condemned the acsesion of Crimea. Second, Finland increased it's cooperation with Sweden in the scope of security and defence. Third, Finland kept it's good relationship with Russia. The amount of official visits of the heads of two countries to each other portraits it clearly. |
