From longitudes to latitudes: lessons from the Baltic Sea macro-region for postcrisis Europe

Fabrizio Tassinari

Journal of Baltic Studies, 2017, vol. 48, issue 4, 529-537

Abstract: This contribution sets out to derive lessons from the experience of the Baltic Sea Region to the North–South division that has emerged in the European Union since the sovereign debt crisis. After contextualizing the way in which Europe’s North–South gap has emerged and been addressed in the public policy discourse, the article goes on to observe the lessons from the Baltic Sea region, particularly when it comes to economic recovery and region building. It concludes that pro-European policy makers need to stop taking Europe’s divide at face value and address its origins if they are to counter Euro-skepticism and reconnect institutions to citizens.
