Abstract:

The security and defence policy report 2004 makes a broad assessment of Finland’s security and

defence policy as a whole in accordance with a decision made in the Government Programme. The

security and defence policy report 2004 is the Government’s basic position, setting out the

principles and objectives for Finland’s security and defence policy and providing a framework for

its implementation in the different sectors.

The report conducts a thorough examination of the change in Finland’s international environment

and its effects on Finland’s capability as well as on comprehensive security into the 2010s. The

assessment of the environment creates the basis for determining the line of action. Based on

these, the report shows the development and resource needs that focus on the different

dimensions of the capability, external capability, especially crisis management capability, defence,

the maintaining of internal security and the safeguarding of society’s central basic functions.
