Library British Library of Political and Economic Science Abstract This study investigates the interplay of collective memories and national identity in Estonia, and uses life story interviews with members of the intellectual elite as the primary source. I view collective memory not as a monolithic homogenous unit, but as subdivided into various group memories that can be conflicting. The conflict line between ‘Estonian victims’ and ‘Russian perpetrators* figures prominently in the historical culture of post-Soviet Estonia. However, by setting an ethnic Estonian memory against a ‘Soviet Russian’ memory, the official historical narrative fails to account for the complexity of the various counter-histories and newly emerging identities activated in times of socio-political ‘transition’.

  • Deterrence Dilemma in Latvia and Estonia: Finding the Balance Between External Military Solidarity and Territorial Defence
    Journal on Baltic Security , 2017; 3(2): 29–41 Research Article Open Access Māris Andžāns, Viljar Veebel* Deterrence Dilemma in Latvia and Estonia: Finding the Balance between External Military Solidarity and Territorial Defence DOI 10.1515/jobs-2017-0005 received September 30, 2017; accepted October 14, 2017. Abstract: While potential threats from Russia and NATO collective defence commitments are similar for Latvia and Estonia, both countries have adopted different approaches in the balancing exercise between territorial defence and military solidarity. Notwithstanding their differences, both are by their nature fully non-aggressive – without room for pre-emptive initiatives, extra territoriality or asymmetrical tools. Given that in a case of a hypothetical large-scale conventional attack both countries would almost entirely have to rest on the allies, external military solidarity is essential. Until the Ukraine crisis, both offered more military solidarity towards their NATO allies than the latter offered to them. As the result of the Ukrainian crisis, allies became more military-solidary with the Baltic nations, especially having established the Enhanced Forward Presence, while Estonian and especially Latvian contributions to international missions and operations dropped. Therefore, it is suggested that both countries increase their efforts to the allied international endeavours. Keywords: deterrence dilemma, military solidarity, Latvia, Estonia, NATO. 1 Introduction Russia’s aggression against Georgia in 2008 and Ukraine since 2014 have clearly demonstrated that Russia is ready to use military force against its neighbours. Due to these and other reasons arising from historical experience and Russia’s present behaviour, both Latvia and Estonia rank its neighbour, namely Russia, as the main source of potential threats across different sectors of national security.

  • National Defence Strategy Estonia
    National Defence Strategy Estonia Estonia’s new National Defence Strategy replaces the previous document from 2005. It stipulates that, although there are no existential threats to the NATO Member States’ security, the global and regional security environment is becom- ing more dynamic and more unpredictable. New threats and challenges have emerged, while traditional security issues have not disappeared. In this rapidly evolving security environment, the most serious potential threats to Estonia derive from hybrid and combined challenges and from a combination of internal and external developments. Therefore, national defence can no longer be limited to military defence alone. Only a comprehensive approach to defence can guarantee a country’s security. Based on this central idea, the 2011 National Defence Strategy stipulates that all major Estonian state authorities shall participate in national defence, thus com- bining military forces with non-military capabilities. Estonia’s defence policy is based on two intertwined pillars: the promotion of international security, including strong relations with its allies and the credibility of NATO’s collective defence mechanism; and the strengthening of Estonia’s own initial defence capability to ensure the sustainability of the State and its institu- tions in all possible scenarios. All state authorities related to national defence are responsible for their respective competence both in peacetime and in case of war. Thus, close interagency coope- ration and comprehensive yet flexible command and

  • Meanings and Differences in the Estonian Defence Force
    Journal on Baltic Security, 2020; 6(2): 1–13 Research Article Open Access Viljar Veebel*, Illimar Ploom, Liia Vihmand, Krzystof Zaleski Territorial Defence, Comprehensive Defence and Total Defence: Meanings and Differences in the Estonian Defence Force https://doi.org/10.2478/jobs-2020-0007 received September 10, 2020; accepted September 10, 2020. Abstract: Defence policy and related activities, such as territorial defence and comprehensive defence, are considered a matter of national priority and consensus in Estonia since its restoration of independence in 1991. The actual meaning and its content have depended on numerous linguistic and cultural factors. Educational traditions and alliance relations have played an important role as well. In some cases, changes in actual defence policy content first required an ability to change military terminology and outlook. The current study analyses the meaning of territorial defence, comprehensive defence and total defence in official documents and based on focus group interviews among officers of BDCOL and EMA. Keywords: Estonia; deterrence; territorial defence; North Atlantic Treaty Organization. 1 Introduction The security building processes on the eastern flank of NATO have progressed visibly after the 2014 events in Ukraine. Estonian growing investments into territorial defence readiness and capabilities should be seen as recognition of its value in supporting the armed forces in their defence and deterrence priorities. Defence policy and related activities, such as territorial defence and comprehensive defence, are considered a matter of national priority and consensus in Estonia since its restoration of independence in 1991. However, the actual meaning of territorial, defence, comprehensive defence and total defence has depended on numerous linguistic and cultural factors.
