Sweden's emergence as an independent Nordic, and indeed European, power required continual military and economic growth, which in turn necessitated a constant supply of manpower. The initially piecemeal migration of private individuals from Scotland bringing both martial and mercantile skills to Sweden gradually grew into an informal alliance, albeit officially sanctioned by the Swedes, based on personal networks. Equally the impact of Sweden's support for the Scottish Covenanting movement on British state-formation is scrutinized. This fresh perspective on Scottish-Swedish connections is aimed at those interested in state-formation, migration studies, diplomatic developments, and military history.The Northern World ;5.Diplomatic relationsInternational relationsElectronic books.Diplomatic relations.International relations.327.4110485/09/031Grosjean Alexia875821NL-LeKBNL-LeKBBOOK9910450497703321An unofficial alliance1955848UNINA01317oam 2200373 a 450 991069844730332120230902161821.0(CKB)3460000000114979(OCoLC)590966115(EXLCZ)99346000000011497920100401d2010 ua 0engurbn|||||||||txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierThe president's decision on missile defense in Europe[electronic resource] hearing before the Committee on Armed Services, United States Senate, One Hundred Eleventh Congress, first session, September 24, 2009Washington :U.S. G.P.O.,2010.1 online resource (iii, 94 pages)S. hrg. ;111-289Title from title screen (viewed on Apr. 1, 2010).President's decision on missile defense in Europe Ballistic missile defensesEuropeEuropeDefensesEuropeMilitary policyUnited StatesMilitary policyBallistic missile defensesGPOGPOGPOBOOK9910698447303321The president's decision on missile defense in Europe3512073UNINA
