Incorporating general theoretical statements, case-studies, academic reflection and policy prescription, it ranges widely in terms of disciplinary perspectives and geographical coverage. As an authoritative and timely survey of an international political issue brought sharply into focus by the U.S. invasion of Grenada in late 1983, this book will interest students and researchers throughout the social sciences as well as all those involved in the practical problems of small states: politicians, officials, bankers, diplomats and journalists.
