Book excerpt: The report Baltic Sea Security: Regional and Sectoral Perspectives offers a multifaceted discussion of the complex security issues affecting the Baltic region that have important implications for the cohesion of the wider Transatlantic alliance. The Baltic littoral countries have chosen to respond to similar security concerns using differing approaches, keeping the region's strategic situation a challenging puzzle for the future. In 2019 and 2020, scholars Olevs Nikers and Otto Tabuns, the founders of the Riga-based Baltic Sea Security Initiative, gathered together regional and international experts and security professionals to provide an in-depth analysis of the current levels of defense and security cooperation among the Western countries in the Baltic basin. This series of discussions focused on 1) military cooperation and interoperability in maritime and air defense, 2) societal resilience in resisting information warfare and other hybrid threats, as well as 3) a joint approach to dealing with economic, financial and critical infrastructure threats. In addition to elucidating the variety of national perspectives in the region, the work of the experts spotlights the significant regional and sectoral issues that overstep the boundaries of national policy. Moreover, the study identifies the current limitations of international organizations such as NATO and the EU to respond to the threats faced by their Baltic littoral member states. Long-term strategic coordination among the Baltic partnering nations should be on the minds of all regional security and defense stakeholders. This report is intended to aid in that endeavor and to serve as a valuable resource for policymakers, professionals and scholars seeking to address the challenges facing the West in the Baltic Sea region.
Download or read book Consolidation Or Disintegration written by Marek A. Cichocki and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 48 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The European integration process and security policy building on the continent are subject to increasing fragmentation. This is a consequence of changes occurring on the international arena on the one hand and of the enlargement of western structures on the other. Geopolitically, both the EU and NATO are above all forums where national security and foreign policies co-exist; they are not a vehicle for building political unity in the West. This fragmentation of policies and structures therefore may, in the long run, set in motion processes leading to European disintegration. However, if such disintegration takes shape of regionalization - meaning closer regional cooperation within the framework of existing institutions - this could bring about favorable results. In our analysis, we treat the Baltic Sea region as a sub-region of the EU. Its political potential should be exploited - in a positive sense - by Poland. Accomplishing this would require Poland's active participation promoting the sub-region's development, for example by means of involvement with the EU's strategy for the Baltic Sea. ... ."--Editor.
Download or read book Security Strategies Power Disparity and Identity written by Olav F. Knudsen and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-11-30 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What is power and how is it effective? This volume responds to these questions in terms of regional international relations with a particular focus on the Baltic Sea region, an area still charged with a residue of Cold War conflict and power disparity, in a setting of new cooperative ventures. Each contributor examines the region from a different angle and discusses how its actors coped with the new situation facing them after 1991. The volume looks at how governments have defined their new circumstances, how they have dealt with the opportunity to shift to a new mode of coexistence and collaboration, and how they have tackled the challenge of peacefully converting their region to a security community. The book breaks with tradition by adopting a new, thematic approach based on regional issues and functions rather than a country-by-country discourse. It will be of critical value to readers interested in security studies and European politics.
Download or read book The Security Dilemma in the Baltic Sea Region and Its Impact on the Regional Security and Defense Cooperation written by Holger Moelder and published by . This book was released on 1998-12-01 with total page 110 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis argues that the Baltic Sea region still faces significant security challenges in the post-Cold War era. In particular, nations in the region confront a "cooperative security dilemma." Baltic Sea countries are adopting a range of cooperative agreements to strengthen their security. By doing so, however, they may risk alienating other nations that are left out of those agreements, and thereby create an unstable security environment. This thesis examines the nature of the cooperative security dilemma in the Baltic Sea region, and analyzes how Baltic Sea nations can cooperate in the future without posing a threat to other nations, including Russia. This thesis argues that the Baltic Security Assistance (BALTSEA) program offers a model of future security arrangements which could avoid the problems of the security dilemma.
Download or read book Nordic Baltic Security Germany and NATO written by Claudia Major and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The countries around the Baltic sea are among Europe's frontline states affected by the conflict between Russia and western Europe. Currently, they can neither defend nor maintain regional security by themselves: Their capacities are limited and their memberships in different security institutions (EU and NATO) complicate a common assessment and response, as do their diverging security policies. They depend on the deterrence and defence efforts of their partners and NATO. Germany, as one of the largest and most capable countries bordering the Baltic Sea, should contribute towards improving regional security by supporting regional cooperation, and by sharpening the Nordic-Baltic dimension of its security policy.
Download or read book The Baltic Sea Region Conflict Or Cooperation written by Christian Wellmann and published by Routledge. This book was released on 1992 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: International relations in Europe are under transition. What will be the outcome? Enhanced integration, new fragmentation, a centre-periphery structure, or multiple overlapping regionalization? A stable renaissance or a soon fade out of the nation-state? Will conflict or cooperation prevail? In this book 22 scholars from all Baltic Sea littoral states, Norway and the United States track these questions by focussing them to the Baltic Sea Region. In the past it was structured by the characteristics of the "old" Europe in terms of security arrangements (WTO, NATO, Neutrals), economic ties (COMECON, EC, EFTA), and sociopolitical system (capitalism, socialism), while today it is faced with all the obstacles and contradictions as well as possibilities of an emerging new European architecture, still undefined, but in any case asking for reorientation in the fields of security, economy, and last not least identity. The book puts special emphasis to security aspects and disarmament (including conversion) and to Regionalism as being both, a consequence of the change in progress as well as a strategy to shape it to a desired end: cooperation instead of conflict.
Download or read book Baltic Security Strategy Report written by Olevs Nikers and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Baltic Security Strategy Report provides an indepth security review of the Baltic countries of Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania. As highlighted in this important work, the Baltic States' various national and collective strategies to address recurring regional threats since achieving statehood over a hundred years ago present notable case studies useful to contemporary policymakers and defense planners. Scholars Olevs Nikers and Otto Tabuns based this report on a series of discussions and workshops involving key European and American experts and stakeholders engaged in Baltic regional security matters. The participating experts assessed current challenges pertaining to defense and deterrence, societal security, economic security and cyber security. In addition to exploring the security considerations of each of the three Baltic States, the workshop discussions and resulting papers collected in this report specifically examine avenues of subregional cooperation that may prove more potent than individual national effort in certain fields. Consequently, the authors provide a detailed list of recommendations on how to proceed with a more coherent, goaloriented, and efficient regional cooperation strategy that serves to buttress the security of each of the Baltic States and the Transatlantic community more broadly. The report is a rich guide to issues and opportunities of Baltic intraregional security, and a valuable resource for policymakers, advisors, scholars and defensesector professionals on both sides of the Atlantic.
