Small nations are facing increasing challenges and some new opportunities in a globalising world. Although the problems facing small nations vary widely, these economies tend to have several common concerns and opportunities. The aim of this book is to disseminate knowledge and information about the challenges that small nations or groups of small nations are facing and how they are responding to the challenges posed by growing globalisation.
