Abstract
The cross-cutting theme of the applicability of liberal multiculturalism runs through the journal’s special issue presenting articles on the problems of ethnic minorities in the Baltic States, written by scholars from Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, and the UK. The authors point to the “sore spots” in the recognition of collective identity of the Russian-speaking population, as well as untapped opportunities in reaching a compromise between the collective identities of ethnic minorities and the ethnic majority in the Baltic States.
