Co-operation between the Nordic countries is experiencing a bit of a wobble. The refugee crisis and now coronavirus have exposed the fissures in this usually well-functioning cross-border fraternity. ‘The Foreign Desk’ and our Denmark correspondent Michael Booth have teamed up with the Nordic Council of Ministers for a series of five monthly special episodes delving deeper into topics of global importance from the region. The fourth episode looks at Nordic co-operation. What’s gone wrong, and what can be done to bring a little more harmony to the countries of the north?
