New Article by Tomáš Weiss in Small States & Territories

Tomáš Weiss from the Department of European Studies at the Institute of International Studies, Charles Universityhas published a new article titled Small states and specialisation: domestic politics, foreign policy, and their interface. The piece appears in the latest issue of the international journal Small States & Territories.

The article explores the issue of foreign policy specialisation in small states, which allows them to compensate for size-related disadvantages by strategically focusing their resources. The author shows that small states specialise in different topics and regions and to varying degrees. These choices reflect both the nature of the international system and domestic political dynamics. The study offers insight into how small state governments are simultaneously constrained and empowered by domestic actors when conducting foreign policy.
