Full Description
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 1, "Resilient Governance and Democratic Stability," highlights the mechanisms the Baltic states have developed to counter hybrid threats and maintain democratic integrity. It covers political, economic, legal, and social resilience, and provides insights into crisis management and infrastructure protection. It also covers underexplored areas of resilience such as legal frameworks and intelligence mechanisms.
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.
