Abstract

Estonia’s national identity has been on a new journey since the restoration of independence in 1991. The dream of unimpeded nation-statehood has confronted a number of specific challenges, starting with the presence of a sizable Russian-speaking minority. Even after a certain stability was achieved in this realm, Estonia faced more soul-searching when dealing with a noticeable exodus of ethnic Estonians abroad and the prospect of having to admit a substantial number of foreigners in order to foster a more high-tech economy. A question loomed as Estonia embarked on its second centenary of de jure statehood: what would the new national project look like in a world of European integration and globalization?
