'Effectively reveals how the complex international phenomena of privatization and internationalization are interpreted and operationalized by the Nordic countries...provides a valuable service by identifying the unique supply, demand, and ideational factors that have informed the Danish, Swedish, Finnish, and Norwegian approaches to the dual challenges of responding to international commitments and achieving economic efficiencies.' Christopher Spearin, Canadian Forces College, Canada 'Denationalisation of Defence offers a new conceptual clarity which specialists of defence policy, but also anyone interested in changes of State, would be wrong to ignore.'
