  • The Baltic states' accession to NATO and the European Union : an extension of the European security community?
    Stefanova, Boyka
    The article explores the processes of North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) and EU (European Union) enlargement with respect to the Baltic states Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania. It assumes that ... Western Europe is an established security community and seeks to determine the consequences of any imminent Baltic accession for the geopolitical configuration of Europe. Given their proximity and complex relationship with Russia, the future institutional affiliation of the Baltic states can be regarded as a test of the probability and direction of change in the density and characteristics of the Western security community. The article draws a conclusion about the necessary, however contested, character of the Baltic states' future membership in the Euro-Atlantic structures. Baltic accession would reinforce the community configuration prevailing in the region, and facilitate NATO's transformation from a military alliance into a political union. However, the same process still presents a number of challenges: the extension of the security community is not necessarily beneficial for its environment.
