While focusing primarily on the post-Cold war period, it will also cover years of Baltic occupation, areas and matters related to their motivation and means to join the EU and NATO. Smallness, weaknesses and sensitivities as well as historic experiences of three Baltic States made the task to integrate with the Euro-Atlantic community urgent. This will be a valuable source of information for all interested in the Baltic States, foreign policies of major powers shaping events in the region, the surge of the Euro-Atlantic community and the post-Cold War enlargement allowing small Baltic States to remedy their inherent security weaknesses. Dr. Sandis Sraders is Research Fellow and Lecturer in Russian Strategic and Military Studies at the Baltic Defense College in Estonia and a visiting lecturer at the Riga Stradins University in Latvia. 001431877 61020 $$aNorth Atlantic Treaty Organization. 001431877 651_0 $$aBaltic States$$xMilitary relations. 001431877 651_0 $$aBaltic States$$xForeign relations$$zEuropean Union countries. 001431877 651_0 $$aEuropean Union countries$$xForeign relations$$zBaltic States. 001431877 651_0 $$aBaltic States$$xForeign relations$$zRussia (Federation) 001431877 651_0 $$aRussia (Federation)$$xForeign relations$$zBaltic States. 001431877 651_6 $$aPays baltes$$xRelations extérieures$$zPays de l'Union européenne. 001431877 651_6 $$aPays de l'Union européenne$$xRelations extérieures$$zPays baltes. 001431877 651_6 $$aPays baltes$$xRelations extérieures$$zRussie. 001431877 655_0 $$aElectronic books. 001431877 77608 $$iPrint version:$$z3030537625$$z9783030537623$$w(OCoLC)1159041838 001431877 852__ $$bebk 001431877 85640 $$3Springer Nature$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-030-53763-0$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 001431877 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1431877$$pGLOBAL_SET 001431877 980__ $$aBIB 001431877 980__ $$aEBOOK 001431877 982__ $$aEbook 001431877 983__ $$aOnline 001431877 994__ $$a92$$bISE
