This book explains what 'small' states are and explores their
current security challenges, in general terms and through specific
examples. It reflects the shift from traditional security
definitions emphasizing defence and armaments, to new security
concerns such as economic, societal and environmental security
where institutional cooperation looms larger. These complex issues,
linked with traditional power relations and new types of actors,
need to be tackled with due regard to democracy and good
governance. Key policy challenges for small states are examined and
applied in the regional case studies. The book deals mainly with
the current experience and recent past of such states but also
offers insights for their future policies. Although many of the
states covered are European, the study also includes African,
Caribbean and Asian small states. Their particular interest and
relevance is outlined, as is the connection between their security
challenges and their smallness. Policy lessons for other states are
then sought. The book is the first in-depth, multi-continent study
of security as an aspect of small state governance today. It is
novel in placing the security dilemmas of small states in the
context of wider ideas on international and institutional change,
and in dealing with non-European states and regions.
