metadata.name: dc.description.abstract
metadata.value: The article revisits the negotiations on NORDEK, a Nordic Economic Area, held by Denmark,
  Finland, Iceland, Norway and Sweden in 1968–1970. Finland, which initially took active part
  in the negotiations, later reversed its position under pressure from the Soviet Union as well
  as for other reasons. Four remaining Nordic countries refused to pursue a Nordic Economic
  Area without Finland for multiple reasons, of which one was solidarity with Finland. This article
  presents multiple game models, of which some reflect the actual outcome of the NORDEK
  negotiations, i. e., their failure, while others reflect hypothetical outcomes of the negotiations,
  such as emergence of a NORDEK of four without Finland. Those models allow concluding on
  the main factors causing Nordic solidarity, for which the NORDEK negotiations were a testing
  ground, and which had been the defining feature of regional politics in the European North
  during fifty years following the failure of the negotiations. First, domestic uncertainty about
  the issue debated by multiple nations contributes to greater solidarity among those nations.
  Second, majority’s focus on their absolute gains during international negotiations contributes
  to greater solidarity among negotiating nations. Third, relative equality among negotiating
  nations does not have any influence on solidarity among them. The latter conclusion supports
  the theoretical assumption that that organic solidarity (solidarity among different) is as possible
  as is mechanical solidarity (solidarity of similar).
