New Baltic Barometer

The New Baltic Barometer (NBB) was launched in 1993 in EstoniaLatvia and Lithuania, interviewing in four languages.

Whereas political rhetoric often describes all people of a given nationality as thinking alike, surveys show each is internally differentiated. This is so for gender, age, and being better off or worse off economically. Internal differences can cause similarities between nationalities, for example, both Estonians and Russian-speakers in Estonia have similar proportions of educated people.

Six New Baltic Barometer surveys have been conducted with separate samples of Baltic peoples and Russian ethnics in all three states. Many questions are directly comparable to questions asked in New Europe Barometer surveys. The surveys are:

I, 1993 SPP 222
II, 1995 SPP 251
III, 1996 SPP 284
IV, 2000 SPP 338
V, 2001 SPP 368
VI, 2004 SPP 401 &
  SPP 404 (Compare Baltic responses with surveys in 10 other European countries)

Fieldwork has been supported by grants from the European Commission and funding agencies in Austria, Britain, Hungary and Sweden. In cooperation with Professor Sten Berglund of Orebro University and funding from The Swedish Tercentenary Fund, the CSPP maintains www.BalticVoices.org.
