The Baltic Region: North-east Europe's frontier of change

Their economic development frustrated for half a century by the Cold War, the poorer Baltic countries are busily catching up their richer neighbours in Germany and Scandinavia. Poland and the Baltic states, struggling to build secure democratic societies, are now among Europe's fastest-growing economies. The pressures of change are heightened by the looming presence of an unstable Russia.
