Abstract

The Baltic Sea region was involved in, and impacted by, several significant political transformations in the 1990s: The USSR had disintegrated; Estonia, Lithuania and Latvia had achieved statehood; Poland had regained sovereignty and joined NATO; and Sweden and Finland had become members of the EU. Conditions for developing cooperation in the Nordic-Baltic region were present, and the establishment of the CBSS in 1992 was crucial in this respect. Poland became a viable partner for the Nordic countries. The Nordic-Baltic region started to play an important role in the European Union, and in the foreign policies of Germany, the USA and Russia. Many regional initiatives have emerged.
The author carries out an analysis of the international situation in the region. He points out the importance of the northern component of Polish foreign policy, and he describes conditions, priorities and risks of this policy.
The issue of Poland's northern policy today remains open for further consideration.
