The document from the Finnish Institute in London, authored by Simon Partridge and Tapani Lausti, summarizes a Round Table discussion held on 28 February 1997, exploring the potential of Nordic cooperation as a model for British–Irish relations. The discussion, inspired by Richard Kearney's book 'Postnationalist Ireland,' highlighted the similarities and differences between the Nordic countries and the British–Irish context, emphasizing the shared cultural and historical ties. Participants, including academics and political figures, examined the Nordic Council's success in fostering cooperation and resolving conflicts, suggesting that similar frameworks could benefit British–Irish relations. The conclusions drawn by Kearney, Stenius, Partridge, and Lausti stress the importance of civil society and pragmatic cooperation, proposing that the Nordic model offers valuable lessons for enhancing British–Irish harmony.
