| Research Abstract |
After the Second World War the US placed its strategic importance on the Arctic region and made diplomatic efforts to acquire the right to permanent military bases in Greenland and Iceland. Norway, Denmark and Iceland decided to join the Western Alliance. However such Nordic approaching to the West awoke the Soviet Union menace to its security and made a strong protest to Norway and Denmark. Therefore Norway (and Denmark later on) announced "Base and Nonnuclear Politics", which means deploying foreign troops/introducing nuclear weapons to the country is not permitted in peace time. This policy is indeed a last resort of small country to minimize the Soviet's anxiety and to stabilize the region, while the country's fundamental security depending on the US.
