Comprehensive and timely, this Handbook identifies the key
characteristics, challenges and opportunities involved in the
politics of small states across the globe today. Acknowledging the
historical legacies behind these states, the chapters unpack the
costs and benefits of different political models for small states.
Contributions from key scholars challenge the idealization of the
small state, disputing views that these states are inconsequential
at best and a nuisance to world politics at worst. Offering
evidence-based discussions on their importance to the global
political order, the Handbook explores how small states 'do'
politics, the major opportunities and challenges of policy-making
and implementation, and how they can respond intelligently to these
opportunities. Critical contemporary dilemmas are analysed, with a
particular focus on the rise of nationalism, the collapse of
empires, and the importance of this in relation to small state
politics. Political science, diplomacy and international relations
scholars, particularly those looking at small states, will find
this a rich reference work. Case studies from all major world
regions used in this Handbook will also make it a beneficial read
for practitioners and policy-makers of small states. Contributors
