Abstract. The integration efforts of five small Northern Scandinavian countries (Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Iceland) and Finland are analyzed in the article. Being a component part of the Big Europe, recently they all of a sudden faced many problems similar to some destructive European processes – disfunction of a social and economic model, negative demographic, raise of political Islam, activation of non-state actors, etc. Despite their modest size and limited resources, these countries also have an impact on common regional macro-trends and the EU transformation in whole.
