Both Estonia and Slovenia's separation goals were to become part of another regional union after leaving the Communist bloc, however these unions were based on individualism, human rights, democracy, and a strong economy. This makes sense because in a growing global economy to be an individual state would be a death sentence, which is illustrated by the following degradation of the Communist World to a few individual states today in the world, whilst the growth of the EU amounts to 27 in the region. The argument is that Estonian and Slovenian approach of embracing globalization and a global society has made transition easier than those countries with fractured nationalist groups that are resisting integration, e.g. Hungary, Poland and the Czech Republic.
