'In a world where foreign policy has become increasingly complex and science diplomacy may be more critical than ever, it valuable to examine specific issues and circumstances. Science Diplomacy and Foreign Policy in Northern Europe provides a rich collection of case studies that deepen our understanding of the actors, institutions, and relationships that are critical in foreign affairs.'
