AB  - This presentation explores how small states navigate the complexities of the international system, particularly in an era marked by geopolitical shifts and rising great power competition. Small states, often perceived as vulnerable actors, have developed innovative strategies to assert their agency and influence global affairs, far beyond their economic or military capabilities.

Focusing on the role of small states in international organizations, regional cooperation, and multilateral diplomacy, this study draws upon case studies from Europe, Latin America, and the Caribbean. By leveraging soft power, niche diplomacy, and strategic partnerships, these states have managed to advance their interests, contributing to global governance and conflict mediation.

The presentation provides insights into how small states balance relations with larger powers and navigate issues such as climate change, trade, and security, which disproportionately affect them. The research aims to contribute to a deeper understanding of the diverse strategies employed by small states and their growing relevance in shaping international relations today.
