Economic trends and interests have always been closely linked with political choices. The countries of East Central Europe have not been an exception, especially within the context of the global financial downturn. Countries in the region have faced considerable economic, financial, social, and political challenges. The economies of the three Baltic countries, Russia, and Belarus, all of which previously enjoyed substantial growth, revealed their structural imbalances and their exposure to fluctuations in external financial and commodity markets. As a result, the economic recession eventually contributed to raising awareness and determination in those countries to stabilize, strengthen and modernize national economies, attract investment and search for favorable outside markets and partners. Economic interests moved visibly upward on the list of priorities for Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia, Russia, and Belarus.
The major objective of this publication is to examine how the transforming economic rationale in policies of the Baltic countries has influenced both economic and political relations with other countries in the neighborhood, namely Russia and Belarus.

The Review recommends a broader understanding of innovation, to include non-technological aspects. Innovation includes not only new products and services, but also innovative processes. Emphasis is placed on not only cutting-edge technological innovation but also on the introduction of technologies that may exist elsewhere but are new to the domestic market. Furthermore, this Review has a specific focus on the role of innovation policies to foster sustainable development. It analyses the institutional framework of innovation policy and the various mechanisms and instruments of related public support infrastructure. Policy options and recommendations are offered to improve and enhance the innovation capacities of stakeholders and thus help achieve the Sustainable Development Goals.

All these items place the approach of the NATO Centres of Excellence (COEs) institution in a multi-disciplinary conjuncture, starting with their relevance in NATO the challenges connected to institutional integration and geo-political considerations.
