Small States and Status Seeking
Status seeking is an important aspect of the foreign policies of a number of small states, but one that has been rarely studied. This book aims to contribute to our understanding not only of status seeking, by coming at that question from a new angle, that of a small state, but also to our understanding of foreign policy, by discussing the importance of status for foreign policy overall.
If status is a hierarchy, then it is important to focus not just on the highest-ranking powers, but also those at lower levels. As the distribution of power is becoming more diffuse, the role of small and medium powers becomes more significant than it was during the Cold War. The book chapters go beyond familiar explications of soft power or conflict resolution to highlight new aspects of Norways foreign policy, including contributions to national defence, global warming, and management of Arctic resources.
This book will be of interest to students and scholars in areas including foreign policy analysis, international relations and european politics.
