The Baltic Sea Region is rapidly becoming one of the worlds more competitive regions. The region is capitalising on its strengths and making the most of its diversity to stimulate innovation, build a strong pool of skilled labour and foster entrepreneurship. A deep spirit of co-operation and integration has led the Baltic Sea countries to set up ambitious governance frameworks to pursue economic development objectives jointly from Oslo to St. Petersburg. Yet major challenges at the local level lie ahead for the Eastern shores of the Baltic, where economic transition still needs to be accompani

Why isn’t the Baltic region like the Balkans? Why have the Baltic republics not experienced ethnic cleansing, border wars, authoritarian rule, and social chaos? Instead, peace, democracy, and market economies have taken root since the fall of communism. Walter Clemens here uses complexity theory, which analyzes the role of self-organization in complex adaptive systems, to explain the "Baltic miracle." He argues that the theory is a vital tool for understanding the remarkable strides made by Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania since 1991 in coping with the transition to partnership with the ne

During the post-war years, the Baltic Sea area was more often divided than united and it remained separate and remote from the conflicts between east and western Europe. However, this state has been rapidly changing since the Cold War has faded away and military threats have disappeared. It has been replaced by a new order which is full of uncertainties and embraces the impossible. The aim of this book is to generate new concepts in economic, military and environmental security better suited to the needs of the region. Those contributing are part of a network of scholars formed during the past

The second edition of this widely acclaimed book considers the extent to which the Baltic states have succeeded politically and economically in their aspirations to emulate Western institutions since independence. The book has been completely revised since the first edition to account for the rapid changes in the countries themselves, and in the theories that attempt to generalize the patterns of development in post-communist countries. The Baltic States After Independence, Second Edition provides a thorough analysis of the political and economic systems of Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania.

The historical and geographical significance of the Baltic Sea as a Russian gateway to the West has sometimes overshadowed its reciprocal significance as a German window on the East, but in the period after the First World War the Baltic was to become of critical importance to a German state then shorn of much international authority. This study shows in detail how the Weimar Republic sought to develop its economic influence in the newly independent Baltic states, to ensure the retention of a vital ’springboard’ into Russia after 1918. At one level this book therefore presents a fr
