Austers, Aldis, Karlis Bukovskis. Euroscepticism in the Baltic States: Uncovering Issues, People and Stereotypes. Riga: Latvian Institute of International Affairs, Friedrich Ebert Stiftung, 2017.
The book explores the neglected issue of Euroscepticism in the Baltic societies. The book consists of a collection of articles from experts in economics, politics and sociology, as well as Eurosceptic politicians. Authors from Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia seek to unveil not only the development of criticism towards the European Union in the Baltic politics over the last twenty-five years, but also sceptical opinions among the Baltic entrepreneurs and the sociological profile of Baltic population, looking separately at the Russian-speaking population in Estonia and Latvia. This book is made from a successful collaboration between the Latvian Institute of International Affairs and the Friedrich-Ebert-Stiftung.
