Drawing on Saul P. Cohen's theoretical concept of the shatter belt, it discusses a geopolitical region characterized by significant instability, owing especially to the influence of neighbouring powers. The book defines the challenges related to the geopolitical position of Baltic Europe and describes them as manifestations of the shatter belt. It details the historical conditions of the small Baltic states: Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia, with reference to their geopolitical position within the Russian sphere of influence and after the collapse of the USSR. This study also focuses on the exploitation of national minorities as one the main challenges to the national security of the Baltic states.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47556577001623,"sku":"9781041309413","price":907.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781041309413.webp?v=1774416988","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/small-states-in-the-shatter-belts-demographic-and-geopolitical-challenges-of-the-baltic-states-9781041309413","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
