Summary/Abstract: NATO membership has been widely debated in Finland and Sweden, so the North AtlanticAlliance might soon be confronted with an official membership application from one or evenboth countries. Hence the article examines NATO enlargement northwards in Europe andits consequences from the international perspective, focusing on key stakeholders’ potentialreactions. While NATO is likely to welcome the new members, Russia’s hostile response isanalysed with a view to outlining the scope of its potential reaction rather than predictingspecific measures that might be taken by Moscow.
