metadata.name: dc.description.abstract
metadata.value: One of the important trends in the development of international relations in the second half
  of the 20th — early 21st centuries is the growing importance of small states in international relations. From passive “pawns” in the big political games of the great powers, they are turning
  into active players capable of pursuing their own national interests in the international
  arena. During the Cold War period, European neutral states acquired an unique experience
  of fruitful cooperation in international organizations, peaceful mediation and peacemaking.
  Multilateral diplomacy, renunciation of the use of force, striving for a peaceful political resolution
  of conflicts predetermine, to a certain extent, interest in studying the experience of small
  countries. The decline in the ability of the leading great powers to resolve conflicts effectively
  on the periphery of the international system, on the other hand, the capability of small countries
  to generate new ideas and norms in international relations create preconditions for a
  further increase in the role of small countries in international relations. It is necessary to study
  not only the great powers, but also the small countries that make up the vast majority of states,
  if we want to understand the nature of international relations in general, the formation and behavior
  of modern coalitions and alliances in particular. This article aims to identify the main
  stages of the study of small states in international relations, to analyze the main approaches to
  the definition of the concept of “small state”, to consider the factors of formation of the foreign
  policy of small states through the prism of some theories of international relations, to find out
  the features of the foreign policy behavior of small countries in international relations.
