Abstract
Since regaining their independence from the Soviet Union in 1991, the Baltic states of Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania have relentlessly pursued a path towards integration in the European Union and NATO. However, their ambitions are likely to be thwarted for many years, if they are fulfilled at all. While intra-Baltic defence has developed apace, political and economic cooperation still lags behind. The scope for cooperation with the Nordic countries to the north is still considerable and may offer the best hopes for medium-term security.Keywords
