Sixty years of Nordic International Relations

In this contribution, the editors introduce the 60th anniversary Special Issue of Cooperation and Conflict . Emerging during the early Cold War, Cooperation and Conflict has over the years come to provide a forum for broad and pluralist theorizing within the discipline of International Relations (IR). The contributions in this Special Issue reflect on these intellectual trajectories, tracing how Nordic scholarship has simultaneously shaped and been shaped by global theoretical debates, underscoring the journal’s role as a pluralist and reflexive site of inquiry. At the same time, togther, shey showcase the breadth and scope of Nordic IR today, as well as changing notions of Nordic cooperation and the meaning of ‘Nordic’.
