The Baltic Sea region has experienced profound alterations since the Cold War, and the region’s course of evolution is likely to continue as such. The book “The Baltic Sea Region: Hard and Soft Security Reconsidered” provides a collection of opinions that assess the current situation both in the military as well as non-military fields, with a particular focus on the aftermath of the 2016 NATO Warsaw summit and the state of the play of the regional infrastructure interconnections. 

This publication is an effort of the Latvian Institute of International Affairs with support by Friedrich Ebert Stiftung, NATO Public Diplomacy Division and Nordic Council of Ministers’ Office in Latvia.
