Abstract
At the start of the 1970s the Kekkonen Plan was brought into the international fora, the CSCE and the UN, as if internationalising it would make it more feasible. Finnish political scientist Osmo Apunen, calling this effort ‘the second wave’ of the plan, describes it as ‘a conscious effort to make the proposed nuclearweapon-free Nordic regime part of broader European arrangements’. The NWFZN was not only to be linked to arms control arrangements concerning the European continent but directly to the central balance between the United States and the Soviet Union by means of ayroposed guarantee system.1
