Crossroads Dynamics in Foreign Policy: The Case of Latvia
Russia wants to exercise greater influence in its former client states, but in most cases its strategy is more opportunistic than militarily aggressive. While Latvia relies on NATO for its military defense, it is vulnerable to intimidation and reassertions of Russian hegemony economically as well as politically, through mobilization of its large Russian minority population

Special attention is given to historical influences and inherited Soviet practices, the uncertain and conflicting value systems of reformers, and a gradual shift to concerns about the services provided. Power relationships are examined, together with the …
