Democratic Resilience in the Baltics, Vol. 2, Gebunden

Klappentext

This open access volume examines current threats to democracy with a focus on Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania. These small democracies face unique challenges from climate change, hybrid security threats, and geopolitical tensions. The book examines how these nations have adapted their institutions and practices to withstand disinformation campaigns, cyberattacks, and economic coercion, while also addressing environmental issues such as extreme weather and biodiversity loss.

Part of the two-volume "Democratic Resilience in the Baltics," Volume 2, "Societal Resilience as a Defence Force," presents societal resilience as an element of national defense, drawing lessons from global conflicts and offering practical strategies for building resilient societies.

The two volumes offer valuable lessons for other small democracies and larger states alike, highlighting the importance of resilience in safeguarding democratic institutions in an increasingly unstable world.
