Alliance theory and alliance 'Shelter
This study critiques traditional alliance theory because it fails to capture the nuanced alliance motivation and needs of small states. We argue that the concept of alliance “shelter” better explains small state alignment. The theory of alliance shelter has been developed to explain the alliance choices of Western small states, including Iceland, and serves as an important addition to alliance theory. Shelter is the diplomatic, economic, societal…
Small States and International Security
This chapter aims to discuss the most important and acute security challenges faced by the Baltic States after 2004, together with current or planned security solutions. Baldur Thorhallsson has helped to guide the paradigm change from a Rationalist to a Reflectivist one in small state research. Geopolitical and memory-related sensitivities have guided Baltic post-Communist policies in searching for enhanced security. Baltic neutrality in the late…
Instrumentalizing the European Union in Small State Strategies
The paper argues for exploring the functionality of the EU in small states' comprehensive security strategies. Institutions and states today frequently publish security 'strategies' defining their overarching aims and policy principles. For small states, membership of regional institutions can be a strategic aim—easing multiple security concerns—but itself tends to modify strategic agendas and discourse. The paper argues that the EU offers small …
The Nordic Countries from War to Cold War – and Today 1
History is much present for the British and Nordic peoples, which means it can also be controversial and instrumentalized. Documents like the new FCO collection help to remind us that the past was truly in some ways ‘another country’. In the early post-war years, for example, before collective nuclear deterrence, there was huge uncertainty both over the scale of Communist advances and the viability of Western defence. The Nordic defence pact alte…

Reflections on Thirty Years in the Diplomatic Service
For a British career diplomat active from 1969 to 2001, the most profound environmental change was the transition from the Cold War – which exposed diplomats to greater ideological than physical pressures – to today's global security environment in which diplomats are as vulnerable as any to the dangers of conflict, crime and terrorism. Within the Foreign and Commonwealth Office's own work, major trends over this period were increasing multilater…
Sub-regionalism in the Newly Independent States
Since 1989, six new sub-regional cooperation groups have emerged as the states of northern, central and eastern Europe work towards forging relationships with one another and their neighbours to east and west. Five of these groups are still in existence and have had considerable success in establishing cooperative relations in many areas outside the realm of purely military security. The authors suggest that such sub-regional groups could provide…
