To a great extent, it was affected by all positive and negative elements of Soviet science. Now, after the restoration of independence in 1990-1991, Latvian science has suddenly become the science of a small country. The current political strivings of Latvia can be characterised by one main feature: to return to Europe, where it was from 1918 to 1940, and to stay there forever. This general political orientation is in line with the general transformation of the research system which started in 1989. The main thrust of science policy in Latvia for the last five years has been to model it along western lines. © Beech Tree Publishing 1995 Kristapsons Janis Scientometrics Research Group, Latvian Academy of Sciences, Turgenevaiela 19, Riga, LV-1524 Latvia aut Tjunina Erika Scientometrics Research Group, Latvian Academy of Sciences, Turgenevaiela 19, Riga, LV-1524 Latvia aut Science and Public Policy Beech Tree Publishing 22/5(1995-10), 305-312 0302-3427 22:5<305 1995 22 spp https://doi.org/10.1093/spp/22.5.305 text/html Onlinezugriff via DOI 1 research-article jats NATIONALLICENCE 856 40 https://doi.org/10.1093/spp/22.5.305 text/html Onlinezugriff via DOI NATIONALLICENCE 700 1- Kristapsons Janis Scientometrics Research Group, Latvian Academy of Sciences, Turgenevaiela 19, Riga, LV-1524 Latvia aut NATIONALLICENCE 700 1- Tjunina Erika Scientometrics Research Group, Latvian Academy of Sciences, Turgenevaiela 19, Riga, LV-1524 Latvia aut NATIONALLICENCE 773 0- Science and Public Policy Beech Tree Publishing 22/5(1995-10), 305-312 0302-3427 22:5<305 1995 22 spp Metadata rights reserved CC BY-NC-4.0 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0 nationallicence BK010053 XK010053 XK010000 NATIONALLICENCE NATIONALLICENCE NL-oxford
