The Small States Club
Author: Armen SarkissianPublisher: Hurst Publishers
ISBN: 1805265946
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 324
Book Description
In this book, Armen Sarkissian, former president of Armenia, argues that small states can navigate the complex challenges of the twenty-first century in smarter ways than 'greater' powers. For smallness--often regarded as a weakness-- can be a strength. It may induce insecurity in states, but also endows them with an instinct for survival. Large states are ponderous; small states can be agile and adaptive. Drawing on his deep experience as a scientist, businessman, diplomat and head of state, Sarkissian offers captivating portraits of small states, from Africa to Europe to Asia, that have overcome seemingly insuperable odds to establish themselves as oases of political stability, cultural tolerance, technological innovation, financial prudence and scientific research. Sarkissian returns to the uncertain beginnings of these small states to demystify their improbable rise. Along the way, he introduces us to a cast of tenacious leaders with a knack for converting crisis into opportunity. Widely regarded as the most respected Armenian leader on the world stage, Sarkissian ends with a poignant homage to his motherland. Part memoir, part manifesto, it is a stirring insight into the world's oldest Christian country, which is at once an ancient civilisation, a small state and a global nation.
A Small State's Guide to Influence in World Politics
Author: Tom LongPublisher: Oxford University Press
ISBN: 0190926201
Category : International relations
Languages : en
Pages : 241
Book Description
Theoretically innovative and empirically expansive, A Small State's Guide to Influence in World Politics sets out to become the new authority for the study of small states in International Relations (IR). The book's explanatory approach allows for a comparison of small states' situations and relationships across a global selection of some twenty cases in issues of international security, economy, and institutions. In doing so, it shows how IR's longstandingneglect of small states is a missed opportunity--not just for understanding small states but for developing better theories of IR.

Book Description
The beginning of the 21st century witnessed an unprecedented expansion of the EU. Since the majority of new member countries are small, there is a conventional wisdom that the accession of these states has the potential to create challenges to the development of the enlarged EU. This book attempts to argue that this view may not be the case.
