Estonian National Security Strategy: Current and Future Challenges
Abstract
Russia's realpolitik approach to geopolitics in the Nordic-Baltic region is a serious concern to Estonia's present and future. The dynamics of the world grand-political arena can have a negative impact on the Northern-European security environment, and particularly for Estonia. In the foreseeable future, changes in U.S. Grand Strategy, the decline of European military capabilities, and the impact of Russian political, economic, and military reforms will force Estonian security policy makers and planners to assess security solutions. Estonia, with very limited resources, and almost nonexistent strategic-geographic depth, cannot hope to rely on its own efforts to maintain peace and security. Estonian strategy makers need to think about adopting an improved deterrence model based on a more comprehensive approach. Estonian strategy should involve not only an all-of-government approach, but also society in a wider respect, to build-up a visible and understandable resilience concept.
