商品描述

Foreign policy is one of the most complex policies of every state, and Portugal and Iceland are no exception. The "Small States and Big Powers: Portugal and Iceland's Foreign Relations" book analyses the importance of relations with big powers or regional and international organisations from a shelter theory perspective, detailing the degree of political, economic and societal shelter that they have provided to Portugal and to Iceland over time.

Despite having followed distinct paths, Portugal and Iceland have some important similarities in their foreign policy, namely in relation to the European and the Atlantic dimensions and their participation in regional organisations. The book examines their decisions to join or not to join regional organisations, and both countries' bilateral relations with other important parts of the world, namely Africa, the Nordic states and China.

This book compares the foreign policies of Portugal and Iceland considering their commonly identified status as small states and place them within the shelter theory framework, and its findings indicate that both countries need to balance their international relations with shelter provided by different actors. Their size and political and economic capabilities matter in their bilateral and multilateral relations. It is therefore in both countries' interest to maintain strong cooperation not only with big powers, but also regional and international organisations, depending on their field of action, in order to flourish politically, economically and socially.


商品描述(中文翻譯)

外國政策是每個國家最複雜的政策之一，葡萄牙和冰島也不例外。《小國與大國：葡萄牙和冰島的外交關係》一書從庇護理論的角度分析了與大國或區域及國際組織關係的重要性，詳細說明了隨著時間推移，這些關係為葡萄牙和冰島提供的政治、經濟和社會庇護的程度。

儘管走過不同的道路，葡萄牙和冰島在外交政策上有一些重要的相似之處，特別是在歐洲和大西洋的維度以及它們在區域組織中的參與。該書探討了兩國加入或不加入區域組織的決策，以及兩國與世界其他重要地區的雙邊關係，特別是與非洲、北歐國家和中國的關係。

本書比較了葡萄牙和冰島的外交政策，考慮到它們被普遍認定為小國的地位，並將其置於庇護理論框架內，其研究結果表明，兩國需要平衡其國際關係與不同行為者提供的庇護。它們的規模及政治和經濟能力在雙邊和多邊關係中至關重要。因此，對於這兩個國家來說，維持與大國以及區域和國際組織的強大合作是有利的，這取決於它們的行動領域，以便在政治、經濟和社會上蓬勃發展。
