DESCRIPTION
China's growing presence in the strategically important Nordic-Baltic region has implications not only for the region itself, but also for general transatlantic relations. Within that context, the authors of Between Brussels and Beijing present in-depth country studies that highlight current challenges and point to opportunities for improved regional and transatlantic security.
