  • Summary

    This chapter compares the mediation efforts of Norway, Sweden, and Finland. It shows that Norway’s investment in mediation is unique in its allocation of resources and long-term commitment. There are also indications of slightly different mediation profiles among the three countries. Norway has also involved nongovernmental organizations. In the case of Sweden, the chapter discusses a possible difference in approach between conservative and social democratic governments. The chapter demonstrates that there is a common Nordic emphasis on logic, trust building, and rationality, and also on women’s roles in mediation and solutions. With respect to contacts with terrorist actors, the chapter suggests that Norway’s record differs from those of the other two countries, which are both EU members.
