Description

This module seeks to analyse the development of national identity and statehood in Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania in various stages of their histories: as part of the Romanov Empire, during the first period of independence, as part of the Soviet Union and during the second period of independence after 1991. Throughout the module we will seek to discover the sources of political power in the Baltic States and seek to understand the relationship between power, legitimacy and identity. Particular attention will be paid to issues of nation-building; citizenship and integration; electoral and party politics; political culture; foreign policy; socio-economic change; EU and NATO enlargement and problems of migration.
