Reviews
“This timely book offers a thorough insight into how a small state, by linking its individual capabilities with correct strategies, can influence policy-making in the European Union. The book’s rich theoretical background combined with a detailed case study of Malta within the EU produces a valuable contribution to small state studies. The EU is not only about large states – small states can also have a considerable say in its decision-making.” (Professor Baldur Thorhallsson, University of Iceland)
