Opis

In this volume, scholars from a variety of disciplines address the following questions: what are the linkages between systemic features and the small states' environment; does the emerging international system augur well for small states; what can be expected of allies, big and small; what are the interactions between small states and regional organizations; what national strategies best serve the precarious survival of small states; and what are the appropriate defence policies in the changing technological and political environment? This collection not only tackles the issue of the future of small states in the post-Cold War international order, but also investigates the future of international relations.

Contemporary Security Policy - reviewed by Adrian Hyde-Price - Uni of Birmingham

"This edited volume is thus a welcome addition to the burgeoning literature on small states ... This book will thus be of particular value to all those concerned with the security dilemmas facing small states in the contemporary global system. It should also be of broader interest to those interested in the changing nature of security in the post-Cold War environment."



The International History Review, Vol 21, No 2, June 99

"The individual essays in this volume are worthwhile. Carefully crafted and thoughtfully expounded, they yield insights about the security dilemmas facing the small players on the international stage.
