THE NORDIC BALTIC SMALL STATES: ECONOMY, SECURITY, IDENTITY
The Institute of International Affairs/Centre for Small State Studies(IIA/CSSS) at the University of Iceland received a new grant in summer 2011 from NOS-HS (the joint committee of the Nordic research councils for the humanities and social sciences) to carry out an exploratory research project from autumn 2011 to autumn 2013. The project addresses current challenges facing the small states of the Nordic/Baltic region in their regional and international environment, with special emphasis on the policy fields of economy, of security (interpreted broadly), and of identity - which relates to sovereignty, autonomy, multi ethnicity and integration choices among other things. How have these states viewed the developments of recent years in these fields, and how far have they defined their own predicament in terms of 'smallness'? Have they adopted parallel, or diverging, strategies to deal with the challenges involved, and what could be the reasons for this?
The research themes will be explored in three workshops over an 18-month period, and the immediate findings will be reflected in an ambitious publishing programme including workshop reports, article publications and a final monograph. However, a major aim of the project is also to identify questions that need further research within and/or beyond the Nordic/Baltic area: and a final task will be to prepare a joint proposal for such follow-on work.
