This volume brings together a leading group of scholars to offer a
new perspective on the history of conflicts and trade, focusing on
the role of small and medium, or "weak", and often neutral states.
Existing historiography has often downplayed the importance of such
states in world trade, during armed conflicts, and as important
agents in the expanding trade and global connections of the last
250 years. The country studies demonstrate that these states played
a much bigger role in world and bilateral trade than has previously
been assumed, and that this role was augmented by the emergence of
truly global conflicts and total war. In addition to careful
country or comparative studies, this book provides new data on
trade and shipping during wars and examines the impact of this
trade on the individual states' economies. It spans the period from
the late 18th century to the First and Second World Wars and the
Cold War of the 20th century, a crucial period of change in the
concept and practice of neutrality and trade, as well as periods of
transition in the nature and technology of warfare. This book will
be of great interest to scholars of economic history, comparative
history, international relations, and political science.
