Abstract

How are small states adjusting to a changing security environment and managing tensions with

greater powers in their neighbourhood? Much of the recent literature on small states spends a great deal

of time examining challenges to small states and their security policies. Scholars offer several strategies

that small states can employ to adjust to a changing security landscape. Small states have two broad

options – to focus on their own defence posture, trying to keep their autonomy and stay neutral, or use

different cooperative schemes – bandwagon with larger powers, form alliances against dominant powers,

or seek shelter and develop hedging strategies. This article reviews survival strategies employed by small

states and provides a basis to better understand the behaviour of small states in today’s contested security

environment.
