“This book provides detailed information, covers different periods, and observes six subgroups of the Baltic population from a comparative perspective. What makes this book remarkable is the systematic analysis of survey data from the 1990s and onwards. … this comprehensive book is not only a useful reference for researchers specializing in the Baltic countries and their political culture but also for those whose research interests lie in nation-building, democracy and EU integration.” (Ayşe Gülce Uygun, Europe-Asia Studies, Vol. 73 (3), March 22, 2021)
