ABSTRACT

This conclusion presents some closing thoughts on the key concepts discussed in the preceding chapters of this book. The book attempts to answer the following questions. The questions are Why did the Baltics adopt neoliberal policies post-independence, and what policy mix could help make them more inclusive? How can the Baltics promote business development and better share the benefits? How can the Baltics become more democratic and achieve more circular flows of people instead of showing a tendency to one-way exodus? The questions also include what can the Baltics do to improve cohesion within their borders in order to improve their internal security during a time of growing external uncertainty? How can small states reduce their vulnerability in their dealings with international organizations? How can the Baltics develop a more vibrant export sector?.
