The economic presence of Russia and Belarus in the Baltic States : risks and opportunities

This book is the result of a collective work. The Latvian Institute of International Affairs and Centre for East European Policy Studies (Riga) had a leading role in the implementation of this research project. The efforts of Lithuanian and Estonian researchers from the Centre for Geopolitical Studies (Vilnius) and the Academic Center for Baltic and Russian Studies (ABVKeskus, Tartu) helped to enrich the study with a comparative perspective. The Soros Foundation– Latvia has been the main financial contributor to this project. The Estonian part of the study has been covered by the Open Estonia Foundation.
