Popis:	The Baltic Sea region may seem insignificant, but it encapsulates elements with major ramifications, both positive and negative, for Europe as a whole and for the relationship between Russia and the West. Robert Dalsjo here argues that on the one hand, there are optimistic scenarios which include an ‘Ambergate’ or New Hansa’, teeming with trade and growth, while serving as a model of peaceful interaction. On the other hand, however, Russian opposition to Baltic aspirations for membership in NATO, and rumbling over Estonian and Latvian policies, accompanied by threats, indicate that the region still contains the seeds of serious conflict.
