| Abstract: | The paper deals, on one hand, with the international politics connections, and on the other, the endogenous economic policy implications of Finland's relationship with West European economic arrangements from the Marshall Plan up to the FINN-EFTA Agreement. The Finnish economy was a closed economy and albeit highly dependent on foreign trade in the 1950s. Soviet's sphere of influence imposed restraints with regard to participation in international economic integration. For example, Finland remained outside the Marshall Plan and the OEEC (Organization for European Economic Cooperation), and even the Nordic cooperation was a delicate matter from the point of view of relations with the Soviets. |
