Kopsavilkums

Accession of Latvia into the European Union and its successful functioning in this unique international organisation has created new themes for historical research. The concept and idea of Europe should be studied as a historical issue during different periods of Latvia’s complicated and difficult history. The period of the movement for national independence (1988–1991) or the so called “Third Awakening” laid foundations for the modernization and westernization of Latvia. European integration is one of the most important aspects of westernization. The current article is devoted to foreign policy and value aspects of Latvia’s Europeanization during the Third Awakening. Therefore, by analysing the existing sources of history new aspects can be identified.
