Development-oriented foreign policy; a framework for analyzing Nordics relations by Reza Rahmati

“…Norway, on the other hand, has the highest level of GDP per capita, while only Denmark has shown a positive GDP growth rate since the 2008 financial crisis. Accordingly, a look at the statistics and data on foreign trade, the total value of exports and imports, and the economic performance of these countries helps to a great extent to formulate development-oriented approaches based on institutional patterns, the embedding of the economy in politics, elite perception, and a development-oriented foreign policy. …”
