World of Small States series an other recent publications from the Centre for Small States
The Centre for Small States has shared responsibility for the World of Small States series published by Springer. Seven titles have been published since 2017.
2020 saw the publication of Anne-Marie Brady and Baldur Thorhallsson (eds) Small States and the New Security Environment. This book examines the security, defence and foreign policy choices and challenges of small states in NATO and its small partner states in the new security environment. The main aim of the book is to analyse how these states are dealing with current and emerging security challenges and how they might better prepare for these challenges. A special focus is on ‘new’ security threats and solutions, such as drones and hybrid warfare.
Titles currently in production include volumes on climate change and SIDS, law making and law reform in small jurisdictions, comparative social security law in 20 small states, the harmonisation of insolvency laws in the Caribbean, and security relationships between small European states.
