This publication takes the reader to the North of Europe and focuses on the development of the media industry in the Baltic countries and Norway. The three Baltic countries – Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia – have recovered from fifty years of Soviet rule and are well-known today as political and economic success stories, with the highest GDP growth in Europe. This publication places a comprehensive, comparative and critical focus on the many aspects of the media world in these three countries and compares them to the situation in one of the neighbouring Scandinavian countries which remained free and independent in the post-war period – Norway. This focus on the Baltic countries and Norway will reveal problems, traditions and characteristics linked to global media development, as well as to local reactions to the recent historical past. As Halliki Harro-Loit remarks, “one reason for the ultra-liberal media policy [in the Baltic countries] might be the long tradition of political censorship [during the Soviet occupation period]”. The aim of the publication is to reveal problematic topics and show in a very open and honest way how these topics are being handled in the Baltic countries and Norway. Little in the way of comparative literature has been published on these topics before. The publication should be of great help to all those who are interested in media developments in the Baltic and Scandinavian countries in particular, and in Europe in general. The publication is a collection of articles

  • 23. Baltic Perspectives on the European Security and Defence Policy
    23. Baltic perspectives on the European Security and Defence Policy Elzbieta Tromer I. Introduction Given the choice between the North Atlantic Treaty Organization and the Euro- pean Security and Defence Policy as providers of their national security, the Baltic states—Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania—look to the USA. One reason is their perception of Russia as a source of instability. Another is their lack of con- fidence in the ability of the ESDP to deal with present-day threats. Although these three states are eager to be ‘normal’ members of the European Union and thus to join in its initiatives, their enthusiasm for the EU’s development of its own military muscle is lukewarm. An EU with some military capability but without the USA’s military strength and leadership holds little promise for them. Since the ESDP vehicle is already on the move, the Baltic states see their main function as ensuring coordination between the ESDP and NATO. Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania want to be ‘Atlanticists from within the ESDP’.1 The Baltic states see themselves as exposed to challenges similar to those confronting the Nordic countries: notably the challenge of the new transatlantic dynamic, which makes it almost impossible to avoid taking sides between the US and Europe on an increasing range of global and specific issues. Being torn in this way is bound to be especially painful for Scandinavian [and Baltic] societies which have strong ties of history, culture and values with both sides of the Atlantic, and which in strategic terms are relatively dependent both on American military and European economic strength.2 The Nordic countries are seen by the Baltic states as allies in this context.
