Book Description:
|
The aim of this collaborative work is to focus on the international dimension of the security challenges faced by Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania after their re-emergence as independent states in 1991. Given their specific geopolitical positioning between the "old" West and Russia, they are subject to particularly acute attention in spite of their smallness. As a result, they have come to represent incarnations of several fundamental post-Cold War questions.
