This book takes as its point of departure an enthusiasm for Baltic Sea region history which appeared in some European countries after the fall of the Iron Curtain. In search for the historiographical traditions and earlier concepts which the post-Cold War concept of the Baltic Sea region is based on, it reaches back to the interwar period. The book's comparative dimension, as well as emphasis on the relation between historical narratives and political debates, make it an interesting contribution to Baltic Sea region studies, as well as Scandinavian and Central European historical and historiographical studies.

Marta Grzechnik is an Assistant Professor at the Institute of Scandinavian Studies and Applied Linguistics, University of Gdańsk (Poland). She obtained her PhD at the European University Institute in Florence. Her research interests include history of the Baltic Sea region and Northern Europe, regional history, as well as conceptual and comparative history.

Contents: The Struggle for Pomerania: Poland in the interwar period - Proceeding with caution: Sweden in the interwar period - Turned away from the sea: Poland in the post-Cold War period - Caught up in the enthusiasm: Sweden in the post-Cold War period.

«Marta Grzechnik's study is a significant and unquestionable contribution to the issue of the development of the Baltic region concept over the last century [...].»
