The Baltic A Regional Future [Paperback]

This book examines the historical, political, cultural and economic links between the littoral states of the Baltic sea and seeks to analyse what it is that has created a strong sense of regional identity within the area, that has enabled the area to survive conflicts external to the region that have been projected onto the region. Thus, this sense of identity now forms the basis for future regional cooperation that could be a significant factor for stability in the region.Introduction - The Early History of the Region - The Baltic in the Twentieth Century - The Modern Baltic - The Baltic States - Achievements and Perspectives in Cooperation - Bibliography - Index
