Nordic chills
In Norway -- that odd Scandinavian country left unshaded in maps of the EU -- there seems to be some political stirrings over another potential referendum on EU membership. In contrast to non-EU member states in Central and Eastern Europe, Norway's lack of membership has nothing to do with instability or underdevelopment. Indeed, the country does have a relationship of sorts with the EU, short of outright membership, and it has a history of dancing to the brink of membership and back. Blessed by being a stable and nonviolent dynamic, it will be interesting to follow this often-overlooked Nordic front of EU expansion.
