A complete guide for how small states can be strikingly successful
and influential-if they assess their situations and adapt their
strategies. Small states are crucial actors in world politics. Yet,
they have been relegated to a second tier of International
Relations scholarship. In A Small State's Guide to Influence in
World Politics, Tom Long shows how small states can identify
opportunities and shape effective strategies to achieve their
foreign policy goals. To do so, Long puts small states'
relationships at the center of his approach. Although small states
are defined by their position as materially weaker actors vis-a-vis
large states, Long argues that this condition does not condemn them
to impotence or irrelevance. Drawing on typological theory, Long
builds an explanation of when and how small states might achieve
their goals. The book assesses a global range of cases-both
successes and failures-and offers a set of tools for scholars and
policymakers to understand how varying international conditions
shape small states' opportunities for influence.
