Colonial Regimes in the Baltic States
Colonial Regimes in the Baltic States

Summary/Abstract: On June 16, 2013, ten Baltic scholars addressed issues of colonialism in the territories of contemporary Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia, in a roundtable organized for the Baltic Studies conference at Tallinn University. This roundtable, moderated by Epp Annus, developed out of the process of putting together a special issue on Soviet colonialism in the Baltics for the Journal of Baltic Studies. Most of the invited participants were contributors to the special issue. But where the JBS special issue seeks to explore in depth the possible colonial aspects of the Soviet period, there was also a general wish, for this conference, to broaden the time frame to include prior centuries of foreign rule in the Baltics. Thus, specialists of earlier periods in Baltic history were invited to join the discussion.
