Description
This book examines Iceland vis-a-vis international affairs, with special focus on immigration, foreign aid, Arctic policy, climate change and Iceland?s international image, identity and perception. All issues that play an important role in Iceland?s foreign and domestic policy. This book addresses Iceland as a small state from a variety of perspectives offered by academics and officials. In this book, the authors explore how Iceland's domestic and international behaviour is marked by its smallness, suggesting that the Icelandic perspective is perhaps more idiosyncratic than international.
