Learning outcomes

1) To provide conceptual and theoretical tools that shed light on how the interaction of great and small powers – including both European powers and Russia – has historically shaped the Northern European region;
2) to apply the conceptual and theoretical tools to the contemporary context where supranational integration and regionalization both at the interstate and substate level challenge traditional great and small power dynamics;
3) to provide necessary prerequisites for the students for assessing and examining international dynamics in Europe’s north independently.

Contents
