Since the end of the Cold War, Finland's security and defence policy has undergone significant changes. EU membership as well as convergence with NATO have supplemented Finland's traditional involvement in UN missions. They are the visible reflection of an intensified strategy of cooperation, which is also seen in Finland's participation in international crisis management. The country's self-perception continues to be shaped by the experience of history, its immediate proximity to Russia, and its geostrategic situation in the Northeast of Europe.
