SECURITY DEBATE
Joining NATO would continue a 'trend in Swedish security policy'
Joining NATO would be a "big decision", but also a logical one, says Eva Hagström Frisell at the Swedish Defence Research Agency.
She points to how the country has had a close working relationship with NATO for years.
Should Sweden apply for membership with the military alliance, initial hardships could follow, says Gunilla Herolf at the Swedish Institute of International Affairs.
