Sweden finally establishes institute in the border (7)
I believe the answer is:
sverige
'sweden' is the definition.
(synonyms)
'finally establishes institute in the border' is the wordplay.
'finally' suggests the final letters.
'institute' becomes 'i' (common abbreviation as in MIT).
'in' indicates putting letters inside.
'the border' becomes 'verge' (verge is a kind of border).
The final letter of 'establishes' is 's'.
'i' put into 'verge' is 'verige'.
's'+'verige'='SVERIGE'
I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
