Abstract
The efforts by the Soviet Union to induce Norway and Denmark to limit their NATO-cooperation from the inception of the alliance, its continuously censorious interpretation of their membership and its tactical approach to the concept of a Nordic balance demonstrates, if anything, that the Soviet Government does not regard the current Scandinavian pattern of security as given and fixed once and for all. At the same time it seems interested in keeping its character of a low tension area.
