The editorial note: The Baltic States – The Second Century

Abstract

The year 2018 represented a celebratory time for the three Baltic states of Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania. Each country had numerous events and attractions to commemorate the 100th anniversary of their independence. But what will the next century bring? There is the potential for challenging, but exciting areas for growth, both economically, socially, and culturally. There are also reasons for worry, particularly on the political front.
