Overview

Analysis reveals Nordic and Baltic diplomats enhance multilateralism at the UN, highlighting identity changes.

Key Points

  • The resurgence of the nordic voice signifies a new era of diplomatic activity at the UN, contrasting past silence.
  • Joint statements by nordic and baltic diplomats have increased significantly since the mid-2010s, reflecting collective action.
  • Using semi-structured interviews and documentary analysis, this work explores how ontological insecurity influences these practices.
  • Findings suggest that a crisis in multilateralism has motivated nordic diplomats to reaffirm their identity at the UN.
