“Small States” features books about countries with small populations or territories—ranging from island nations and microstates to compact European countries—and how their size shapes politics, economies, cultures, and global roles. This category includes comparative histories and policy studies, foreign policy and security analyses, development and climate resilience research, as well as travel writing, memoir, and fiction set in small-state contexts. Themes include sovereignty and survival strategies, agility and vulnerability, offshore finance and tourism, diaspora networks and soft power, and the crafting of distinctive national identities. From Iceland to Bhutan, Barbados to Luxembourg, these titles show how small states navigate—and often influence—large global forces.
