Baltic, The: Regional Future, A?

Description: Examining the historical, political, cultural and economic links between the states of the Baltic Sea, this book seeks to analyze what it is that has created a strong sense of regional identity within the area. The regional identity has survived conflicts external to the region and conflicts that have been projected onto the region. Thus, this sense of identity survived the Cold War and now can form the basis for future regional co-operation - to stabilize the Baltic and a wider European area.
