Rostoks, Toms, Spruds Andris. The Different Faces of "Soft Power": The Baltic States and Eastern Neighborhood between Russia and the EU. Riga: Latvian Institute of International Affairs, 2015.

This publication aims to provide a thorough analysis and conceptual (re)definition of “soft power” projected by the EU and Russia in the shared neighbourhood. The book will have a special focus on Ukraine, Moldova and Georgia among the EU’s Eastern Partners. It will also examine the experience of the Baltic States, which, despite being full-fledged members of the EU, still remain an area of interaction and contestation.
