Summary/Abstract: This scientific paper intends to present the equation of Northern Europe, approach that requires the analysis of the multiple contexts in which the documents concerning the defence of Nordic countries were definEditura The research also takes into account the multiple interferences occurring in the relation between defence and security.As a result of scientific research, we have identified three contexts: historical, geopolitical and geostrategic. Analysis of these contexts has shown that the countries of Northern Europe are acting in the logic of a complex security, concept under consideration theorists of the Copenhagen School. In order to complete this complex of security with regional valence, the Nordic countries have chosen to be part in the security community which includes EU States and NATO Allies.The analysis of the defence and security policies of the North European states demonstrates that they were designed with the doctrinal and technological interoperability as central axis. It is the common principle of ensuring defence and security of neighbors to strengthen its own state defence and security.
