| Abstrakt: |
Russian political behaviour generated geopolitical and normative impetus for policy, institutional, and attitudinal change in other Baltic Sea Region (BSR) countries. Notable manifestations include Finland and Sweden joining NATO, Denmark ending its CSDP opt out, and revision of German diplomatic posture. These developments affirmed the extant Russia-scepticism of Poland, Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania. Ukraine became an informal member of a region whose centre of political gravity moved eastwards as its identity is recast. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
