All former Soviet Union countries experience their past as a heavy
burden. It led to the centralisation of scientific personnel, the
separation of research from teaching at universities, and a
concentration of certain branches of technology in different parts
of the Union. This has given rise to a one-sided technology and
science potential which frequently cannot be sufficiently supported
due to a lack of adequate finance. Cooperation between the Baltic
States themselves is often hampered by an exaggerated sense of
national identity, and international cooperation can be made
difficult by linguistic problems. A critical issue is finance. The
Baltic States themselves are experiencing budgetary constraints,
and the West is cutting back on funding. The analytical issues
dealt with here include specific questions, such as in the sectors
of energy policy, electrical equipment and electronics, and
environmental considerations. The transfer of technology is also
discussed, as is security: there is the possibility that science
and scientific results can be obtained from the former Soviet Union
at low cost by the criminal community.
