  • Small states, latent and extant : towards a general perspective
    Knudsen, Olav F.
    Small-state studies are fragmented into several disconnected streams of literature. This necessitates a more comprehensive perspective. Over the past two generations, small-state studies have gone ... through alternating trends, allassuming a small state in being. This article brings into view other streams of literature not based on this assumption. The existence of small states cannot be taken for granted. Small states tend to go through life cycles in which they are sometimes latent, sometimes actual. Once a small state has been formed, the need for political survival demands economic sustainability as well as a foundation of an identifying coherence. Challenges arise from globalisation and supranational integration, as well as from societal demands. The outcome may tend towards turbulence in some cases, stability in others. We are likely to understand these processes better in a historical, comparative perspective.
