Online lecture: Kazimierz Musial – “The relevance of Baltic Sea regionalism for Europe at critical junctures” (Paderborn Europe Lecture Series)

Prof. Dr. Kazimierz Musial is Professor of Scandinavian Studies at the University of Gdańsk and works as Senior Advisor at the Council of the Baltic Sea States. This lecture is part of the Paderborn Europe Lecture series. It will be held in English and broadcast online.

The Russian invasion of Ukraine in 2022 marked a turning point in relations between Russia and the rest of the Baltic Sea region, among other things resulting in Sweden’s and Finland’s becoming members of the NATO.

The lecture will provide insights into current developments in the Baltic Sea region and place them in a historical perspective by discussing the identity shifts in the region against the background of other critical moments in the 1990s and 2000s.
