Economically and politically, the former Soviet Union is a hungry, unstable partner. There will be further changes in Baltic relationships with them that are hard to predict beyond the immediate future. For this reason, Professor Palmieri's contribution is more than required reading for an audience of East-West trade specialists. To be competent in Baltic matters, we have to be well informed about the critical economic and political interfaces with our neighbors in the East.-Journal of Baltic Studies
