Why has Iceland not sought membership of the European Union? This
unique volume uses the case study of Iceland - the only Nordic
state to have never applied for EU membership - to explore the
complex attitudes of small states to European intergration and
provide a new theoretical approach for understanding such
relationships. The contributors explain why the Icelandic political
elite has been relunctant to participate in European integration.
In this context, they analyse the influence that Iceland's special
relationship with the US and the fisheries sector have had on their
dealings with the EU. Also considered are 'new' variables, such as
national administrative characteristics and particular features of
the domestic arena of the political elite, as well as the elite's
perception of international relations and its political discourse
concerning independence and sovereignty. Iceland and European
Integration will appeal to all those interested in European
integration and the international relations of small states
