The Bal ic Sea?
I seems o me ha he main p oblem o o eign Bal ic s udies is s ill he
s uc u e and place o his discipline in he sciences and s udies o philology and
linguis ics, ha is, in o de o Bal ic s udies (o o he Bal ic s udies) o be o
become an independen discipline, i is necessa y o c ea e all le els o Bal ic
s udies (bachelo 's, mas e 's, doc o al).
I would be ideal o ha e a leas one chai o Bal ic s udies, o e ing all le els o
s udy, in each Eu opean coun y wi h a adi ion o Bal ic s udies. And in some
coun ies, whe e his o ical ies and in e es a e pa icula ly s ong, he e could,
o cou se, be mo e Bal ic ca hed als. Tha s I emphasize would be ideal. Howe e ,
e en om his poin o iew, he si ua ion is indeed une en. I'll y o pu i in
o de , al hough I may ha e o go en some hing o mis ep esen ed i . The e seem
o be h ee di e en geog aphical s uc u al zones.
The i s zone includes hose Eu opean coun ies whe e Bal ic s udies a e (o a leas seem o be)
la gely solidly s uc u ed and ha e u u e p ospec s (e.g. Sweden, Finland, he Czech Republic,
Ge many, Hunga y, Poland and pe haps elsewhe e). He e, Bal ic disciplines can be in eg a ed in o
Indo-Eu opean, Sla ic o No he n Eu opean o simila BA o MA s udy p og ammes. (2) The second
zone includes hose Eu opean coun ies whe e Bal ic s udies a e s uc u ed, bu Bal ic s udies is
only augh as a sepa a e cou se (examina ion), 1 Illinois Li huanian (Bal ic) his o y and p esen a ion
