Latvia - A Work in Progress? - 100 Years of State- and Nation-building

A quarter century after the formation of the Popular Front and a decade since joining the EU, processes of state- and nation-building in Latvia are still on-going. Issues such as citizenship, language policy, minority rights, democratic legitimacy, economic stability, and security all remain objects of vigorous public discussion. The current situation also reflects longer-standing debates on the relationship between state, nation, and sovereignty in Latvian society and polity. By examining different aspects of these relationships, this volume aims to reveal both key turning points and continuities in Latvia's development, thereby helping to inform current debates.

Bericht

"[T]his book is a very valuable contribution to Latvian issues and a real gift for its centenary celebrations in 2018. It certainly offers many aspects of Latvian historical evolution in many vital areas of state endeavors, which could lead to further debates and indeed may be a catalyst for further research and policy changes." - Juris Dreifelds, Brock University, Journal of Baltic Studies 2017
