Latvia and Russia confront a long‑standing question of independence, security, and balance in Europe.
This edition lays out how Latvia’s future as a sovereign state could reshape regional power, trade, and defense around the Baltic Sea.
This work frames the stakes of independence, the risks of centralized control, and the potential for a Baltic alliance to serve as a barrier between larger powers. It argues for a defensible, independent Latvia and explains how such a path could support lasting peace and economic clarity in the region.
- Why Latvia’s independence matters for regional security and the balance of power.
- How the Baltic Sea’s control shapes economic trade and political alliances.
- The idea of a cordon sanitaire and a defensive alliance among Baltic states.
