This case study describes the Lithuanian-Russian negotiations over Russian transit rights through newly independent Lithuania to the isolated, yet militarily important enclave of Kaliningrad. The case analyzes foreign policy decision-making in a small, relatively poor state (Lithuania) with strong historical and contemporary ties to a large, dominant state (Russia)— portrays the difficulties of working out the nuts and bolts of foreign policy agreements in any country. This case can be paired with “The Long Good-Bye: The Withdrawal of Russian Military Forces from the Baltic States” (Case Study 230) and “After the Empire: Estonia and Russia Negotiate Borders and Citizenship” (Case Study 251).

This three-part case study describes the complex negotiations over Russian troop withdrawals largely from the Baltic perspective, drawing on the recollections of Estonia’s foreign minister. Part A describes the early agreement between Russia and Lithuania and recounts how Russian relations with Latvia and Estonia deteriorated through 1992-1993, culminating in a breakdown in negotiations in early 1994. Part B details the involvement of the United States and other Western powers in the discussions leading to the Russia-Latvia agreement, and describes Estonia’s unsuccessful effort to get a similar deal. Part C briefly describes the climactic Russian Estonian meeting that resolved the issue once and for all. This case study illustrates the dilemma faced by a small, newly independent state as it seeks negotiating advantage against a large and powerful neighbor; demonstrates the unpredictability of diplomacy conducted at the highest levels; describes the advantages and drawbacks of the involvement of outside powers, especially the role of a superpower (the United States) in post-Cold War mediation efforts; and spotlights how states manage contradictory interests. It can be paired with “From Russia to Kaliningrad: The Case of Russian Transit Rights Through Lithuania” (Case Study 230) and “After the Empire: Estonia and Russia Negotiate Borders and Citizenship” (Case Study 251).withdrawals largely from the Baltic perspective, drawing on the recollections of Estonia’s foreign minister.
