Abstract

The Baltic Sea region (BSR) has been the scene of many drastic changes during the last decade. The dismantling of the “iron curtain” between east and west from 1989 led to unification of Germany and transition to market economies in Eastern Europe. Later developments included the extension of the single European market to the EFTA countries in 1993, the entrance of Sweden and Finland into the European Union in 1995 and negotiations on further enlargement of the European Union with east European countries from 1998.
