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. 001482488 588__ $$aOnline resource; title from PDF title page (SpringerLink, viewed October 19, 2023). 001482488 651_0 $$aPortugal$$xForeign relations. 001482488 651_0 $$aIceland$$xForeign relations. 001482488 651_6 $$aPortugal$$xRelations extérieures. 001482488 655_0 $$aElectronic books. 001482488 7001_ $$aCunha, Alice Monteiro Pita Brito da,$$eeditor.$$1https://orcid.org/0000-0003-3206-8475 001482488 7000_ $$aBaldur Thorhallsson,$$eeditor. 001482488 77608 $$iPrint version: $$z3031423445$$z9783031423444$$w(OCoLC)1390678511 001482488 830_0 $$aWorld of small states ;$$v10.$$x2627-6003 001482488 852__ $$bebk 001482488 85640 $$3Springer Nature$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-031-42345-1$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 001482488 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1482488$$pGLOBAL_SET 001482488 980__ $$aBIB 001482488 980__ $$aEBOOK 001482488 982__ $$aEbook 001482488 983__ $$aOnline 001482488 994__ $$a92$$bISE
