Social resilience in the Baltic States and crisis management: lessons learned and future prospects
ENSince regaining independence from the Soviet Union, the Baltic States have faced a myriad of challenges and threats, including financial instability, energy dependence, high levels of emigration, and, more recently, illegal immigration from third countries, exacerbated by Belarus and the war between Ukraine and Russia. The dynamic nature of socio-economic situations, especially during crises such as pandemics and natural disasters, affects a country’s resilience. This chapter aims to analyse the determinants of social resilience in the Baltic States while identifying the preconditions for its emergence by looking at social resilience - the ability of communities to adapt and thrive in the face of adversity. It focuses on the historical experience of the Baltic States in building social resilience in the context of migration, crisis situations, disinformation, and propaganda.
