Kekkonization
Scandinavization
Euraization
Answer
Finlandization is a negative term used to describe Finland's policy of appeasement towards the Soviet Union during the Cold War. This policy was implemented by President Urho Kekkonen and it was designed to avoid direct conflict with the Soviet Union by maintaining good relations with Moscow. While Finlandization allowed Finland to maintain its independence, it also limited its freedom of action and made it dependent on the Soviet Union.
