Beschreibung

What is special about small states? How do they adapt their policies and patterns of governance to meet turbulent times such as a new security environment and  the international financial crisis? Answers to these and further questions are provided by experts.

What are the constraints on and opportunities of governance of small states in an interdependent and increasingly turbulent global setting? How do small states deal with radical changes in the international environment? What is the role of political institutions in facilitating and constraining policy responses to a rapidly changing international environment? How can political leadership contribute to stability in times of change? This book seeks to answer these questions by taking a comparative perspective on the processes of change and adaptation in the governance of Norway and Slovakia. These two small European states with highly open economies have been exposed to the same set of global turbulences related to post Cold War changes in the security environment and the global financial crisis; they are also facing internal challenges that spring from rapidly rising expectations while demographic shifts put pressure on their welfare systems. Their governance structures and processes are informed by their different political-administrative cultures, different history and levels of stability of democratic governance structures and, indeed, by their different modes of attachment to the European Union and other regional integration frameworks. These differences and a comparative approach in exploring the questions raised above can shed light not only on the specific forms of adaptation of governance structures in two small European states, but also generate insights into the role of integration structures in facilitating and constraining change.

Rezensionen

Der englischsprachige Sammelband wartet mit einer durch und durch sympathischen Idee auf. Entgegen dem zeitgenössischen Mainstream, wonach Staaten respektive Staaten(ver)bünde gar nicht groß genug sein können, um in einer globalisierten Welt als aktive Player zu bestehen, vertreten die Autorinnen und Autoren eine vor diesem Hintergrund kontraintuitiv anmutende Einschätzung. Demnach – so die Ausgangsthese – können gerade kleine Staaten genug Dynamik und Flexibilität aufbringen, um angesichts des permanenten Anpassungsdrucks des internationalen Wettbewerbs und der internationalen Politik dauerhaft zu überleben. Die vergleichend angelegte Studie zweier kleiner europäischer Staaten – Norwegen und die Slowakei – erstreckt sich über vier Bereiche, die allesamt als charakteristisch für politische Verfahrensweisen in kleinen Staaten ausgegeben werden.
