The National Security of Small States in a Changing World (Paperback, annotated edition)

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.
