“…This article will not attempt to comprehensively review the definitional debate. This task has been recently and admirably accomplished in these pages by Maass (2009) and Kassimeris (2009: 87-96), and elsewhere by Hey (2003c), Neumann andGstöhl (2006), andSteinmetz andWivel (2010).…”

“…Small states have been the object of study of different areas of knowledge, as they have been evolving on international relations in the last decades (Keohane 1969;Alouche 1994;Nye 2004;Neumann e Gstöhl 2006;Carlsnaes 2007;Gaspar 2007;Nunes 2007). Nevertheless, there is no consensus regarding the definition of small states (Henrikson 2001;Maass 2009). There is substantial disagreement about which criteria, quantitative or qualitative, are more adequate and capable of characterizing small states (Maass 2009).…”

The article seeks to understand the geopolitics of Cape Verde in the context of West Africa, and its projection as a small island State. The central argument is that Cape Verde needs to make pragmatic use of the Western African coast region for its regional projection. The article focus on a qualitative methodological analysis, based on an interpretative approach and a bibliographical revision in order to address the international phenomena that configure the Cape Verdean geopolitics in West Africa.

“…There is much debate, but little agreement on the definition of a small state (Sutton 2011, Maas 2009, Duursma 1996. Many attempts at developing a precise definition used a combination of population, usable land and GDP (for example Taylor 1969, who found a high correlation between these characteristics) with the occasional addition of the dimensions of remoteness, because so many small states are islands, military assets and narrowness of the economic base (Thorhallsson 2000).…”

Commonwealth Games. Of the 71 countries and territories that took part 52 had populations below 10m of which 39 had populations below 1.5m. Thirty-five countries did not win a single medal of which 23 had populations below 500,000. The aim of this paper is to address this apparent paradox of presence yet marginality. The aim will be achieved by the identification of the objectives of small states for participation in international sport and investing in elite sport and the analysis of the strategies that small states adopt to maximise their ability to achieve their sport and non-sport objectives.
