Building on constructivist approaches to international relations this book develops a narrative theory of identity, action and foreign policy, which is then applied to account for the evolution of Finnish foreign policy. The book adopts an innovative approach by showing how foreign policy orientations need to be seen as grounded in overlapping and competing sets of identity narratives that reappear in different forms through history. By emphas...

Nonostante le discriminazioni, le violenze e l'ossessione antisemita di Hitler, l'eliminazione del popolo ebraico non rientrava nei piani iniziali del regime nazista.
