Baltoscandia
The Baltoscandian Confederation (or Baltoscandia) is a geopolitical concept developed by Professor Kazys Pakstas (born June 29, 1893; died September 11, 1960), a Lithuanian scientist in the field of geography and geopolitics. The purpose of this concept was "to promote the idea of a Baltic–Scandinavian union (consisting of Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Iceland, Finland, Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania)".〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://depts.washington.edu/baltic/papers/pakstas_magaletta.htm )〕
==Development of the concept==
Pakstas states in his book ''The Baltoscandian Confederation'' that the term Baltoscandia was first used by Prof. Sten de Geer in an article in "Geografiska Annaler" in 1928.〔(SCAND 344: The Baltic States and Scandinavia, Spring 2002 )〕 In this book Baltoscandia is described in several different dimensions: as a geographical and cultural, as an economic and as a political and military unit.〔( The Concept of Baltoscandia according to Kazys Pakstas before the war and now ) (in Lithuanian)〕 Prof. Kazys Pakstas proposed that one of the ways for the small nations to withstand the influence coming from the large ones is to unite and to cooperate more closely among each other. As he mentions, unification is possible only among nations that are similar by their size, geographical environment, religion, also they have to respect and to tolerate each other.
As the foreign policy of Lithuania has shifted towards Northern Europe even more after Dalia Grybauskaitė has came into post of the President of the Republic of Lithuania,〔(Lithuania looks towards Northern Europe )〕 voices questioning the return of the Baltoscandian Confederation idea are on the rise in this country.〔(Back to Baltoscandia? ) (in Lithuanian)〕
