In the book, the specialists were asked to express their personal views on the challenges of the future in order to contribute to the debate on what the Nordic and Baltic countries can do better together in future in the Baltic Sea region.
Among others, the floor is given to Norwegian MP and former finance minister Per-Kristian Foss, internationally acknowledged IT advisor to several governments Linnar Viik, awarded gender equality expert Margarita Januskaite and researchers from the Copenhagen Institute of Future Studies.
"But part of the cooperation around the Baltic Sea is also about economic sacrifice for the sake of the common environment," says Foss. "Not all countries are ready to make such efforts, given the tough economic times."
Nordic and Baltic foreign ministers present their opinions on NB8 cooperation in the near future at the end of the book.
The book is free of charge and can be ordered from the Nordic Council of Ministers' offices in the Baltic States. The online version of the book is available:
