How did Finland’s foreign policy take shape during the uncertain years following the Second World War?
In his doctoral dissertation, Rule of the Old Guard. Carl Enckell and the Foreign Policy Culture of Finland 1944–1950, Sebastian Lindberg explores the role of Carl Enckell, Finland’s Foreign Minister from 1944 to 1950.
Did the 1944 armistice mark a decisive break with the past? Lindberg challenges this familiar interpretation, revealing significant continuity in Finnish foreign policy during the early postwar years.
