Baltic Security and NATO Enlargement

Abstract

Slow improvement between Russia and the Baltic states is evident, but many remaining problems could turn to flashpoints if Russian ultranationalists come to power. Progress has been achieved in promoting Baltic domestic reforms and in integrating with Western European institutions. The Baltic states are concerned that their security can be undercut if the NATO enlargement process appears to stop after an initial enlargement. The Baltic states' strategy focuses on the long-term; it is a slow process based on building concrete security steps and economic integration.
