Chapter 13 argues that, for the Nordic countries (especially Denmark, Norway, and Sweden), cooperation with, and common approaches to, the African continent during the Cold War were primarily based on solidarity. Arguably, the relations were less complex and multidimensional than today, given that cooperation is now clouded by political and security interests, particularly to curb migration flows to Europe and to combat terrorism. White papers published by Denmark, Norway, and Sweden in 2007 and 2008 revealed a shift of focus in their foreign and aid policies to greater promotion of trade and investment. The Nordics still show interest in commonly pursuing international climate change cooperation in Africa, as well as conflict resolution, peacebuilding, and supporting Africa’s own regional integration.
