Small Countries in a Global Economy de D. Salvatore

Small Countries in a Global Economy: New Challenges and Opportunities

D. Salvatore

M. Svetlicic

J. Damijan

This book addresses the issues surrounding the prospects of small countries in an integrated, globalized world. The contributors support the thesis that the new global environment does not represent a twilight for small countries, but recognise that the honeymoon has not been as comfortable as others had expected. They demonstrate that by entering the global arena or by consolidating into regional alliances small countries do not 'lose', and may even gain sovereignty in areas previously closed to them.
