内容説明
The Baltic republics occupy a tiny niche on the map of Europe, but their future has global significance. Estonians, Latvians and Lithuanians have unleashed a "singing revolution" against the Russian empire to re-establish the independent statehood suppressed in 1940. Concerned to uphold the Soviet system, President Gorbachev's Kremlin has responded with a mixture of wishful thinking and conciliation, repression and legalistic delay. The West has also vacillated - between support in principal for national self-determination and resignation to the imperatives of power politics. This book analyzes these developments against the historical background of changing East-West relations and the upheavals triggered by perestroika and glasnost. The author proposes policies to create values for all concerned.
