Defense of the Baltic has gained unprecedented prominence in the
West in view of a post-2014 resurgent Russia. The West's East
follows the principles of strategic analysis for a systematic
introduction to defense of the three Baltic states within their own
context of broader security vulnerabilities as well as the
historical and current contexts of both allies and neighboring
powers. This 800-year overview-from indigenous Baltic tribes to the
post-Cold War period-provides a historical and strategic
perspective on conditions in which independent states existed and
flourished among predatory great powers. More recent historical
events and personalities also form the basis for analogies which
are often used, rightly or wrongly, by Western observers to
understand Russia and its relationship to the West. Today's
strategic balance in the Baltic region is characterized through
general analysis of the individual actors' geopolitical outlook,
strategic culture, military capabilities, and non-military security
vulnerabilities. The dynamics of potential strategic interactions
between NATO and Russia are anticipated in case of hypothetical
conflict in the Baltic, premised upon the general theory of
strategy and essential strategic logic. These potential
interactions range from deterrence, through various considerations
of strategy in war itself, and the thorniness of war termination.
Finally, more technical and esoteric aspects of military strategy
related to instrumentality, effect, adversary, and control are
considered in relation to the ultimate question of how much defense
for the Baltic is enough.
