This edited volume presents a comprehensive analysis of the 'Baltic
question', which arose within the context of the Cold War, and
which has previously received little attention. This volume brings
together a group of international specialists on the international
history of northern Europe. It combines country-based chapters with
more thematic approaches, highlighting above all the political
dimension of the Baltic question, locating it firmly in the context
of international politics. It explores the policy decision-making
mechanisms which sustained the Western non-recognition of Soviet
sovereignty over the Baltic States after 1940 and which eventually
led to the legal restoration of the three countries' statehood in
1991. The wider international ramifications of this doctrine of
legal continuity are also examined, within the context both of the
Cold War and of relations between post-soviet Russia and the
enlarging 'Euro-Atlantic area'. The book ends with an examination
of how this Cold War legacy continues to shape relations between
Russia and the West.
