Abstract
The presented edition is an integral part of a series of educational and scientific publications, which was initiated by The Baltic University Programme’s Coordinating Secretariat (Uppsala, Sweden) at the very beginning of its activity in 1991. It has been planned as an addition to the book The Baltic Sea Region: Cultures, Politics, Societies (Editor Witold Maciejewski, Baltic University Press, 2002), which describes the region, its common history and culture, and also social, economic and political developments. In a reduced format and with partially new texts the above-mentioned book was published in both Belarusian and Ukrainian. The mentioned publications aroused considerable interest among students and teachers from the states included in The Baltic University Programme (BUP), as well as all those who were interested in regional issues, in the Baltic Sea Region (BSR). From experience in both teaching and research, the publications issued by The Baltic University Programme have played and continue to play an important role in understanding historical and modern processes both regionally, globally, and nationally. Their content has become the subject of active discussions among students on topics related to the formation of regional identity, the definition of the core and boundaries of the Baltic Sea Region and both contradictions and prospects for regional construction. These discussions are a necessary condition for the formation of a regional community and regional consciousness and further academic debate in the region. In 2020, an international group of researchers began preparing a new textbook dedicated to analysing the current realities of the Baltic region with particular emphasis on the south-eastern area of the Region as it is in this area where distinct changes have occurred and dramatic changes are ongoing. This publication has been prepared by authors representing different countries, universities and variety of disciplines and scientific methods. Thus, the aim of this book is to provide an overview of the issues that have been subject to change over the course of recent years.
