内容説明
This volume raises the question of the long-term security of the small state. It asks specifically how that quandary manifests itself in Europe after 1989. The overall argument is that small states are becoming increasingly prominent to some extent also problematic actors in post-Cold War European politics. This is partly a consequence of the diminished ambition, even bordering on reluctance, of great powers to assert their will. Partly it is the consequence of a confluence of other factors. There used to be a loose, tacit consensus on the respective roles of great powers and smaller states. That is no longer so. The transition from an actively supervised bipolar system to a nearly non-polar international system has been a slippery slope. It is as yet far from clear what the final outcome will be. The collapse of Yugoslavia and of the Soviet Union demonstrate the intractability of issues involving small states, particularly those issues concerning secession, independence and physical survival. The experience of the states liberated by the dissolution of communist power in Eastern Europe also demonstrates the hard lessons of survivability in economic terms.
Indeed, the irony is that the answer to both the security problem and the economic dependence of small states is now widely perceived in these states themselves as being dependent on the participation in integration and at least the partial relinquishing of sovereignty. "Brassey's Atlantic Commentaries" are produced in association with the NATO Office of Information and Press, or other associations and institutions concerned with different aspects of security. They present a series of introductory surveys of important issues affecting the the Atlantic Alliance and its future. The booklets are written and edited with the general reader, as well as the specialist, in mind.
