Items related to Isolated States: A Comparative Analysis
This book examines a largely neglected phenomenon in the field of international relations--the concept of the isolated state. Deon Geldenhuys begins by discussing how he measures both voluntary and enforced international isolation by, among other things, membership of international organizations, official visits and international censure. He then presents a number of case studies of self-isolation. The remainder of the study is devoted to an analysis of the enforced isolation of Taiwan, Israel, Chile and South Africa. Using a wealth of statistical material, he demonstrates their varying degrees of isolation in the diplomatic, military, economic and socio-cultural arenas of the international community.

Book Description 8vo; original blue boards; laminated dustwrapper; pp. (xiv) + 764, incl. index; several tables. Dustwrapper very slightly rubbed; earlier owner's name signed on title page. Very good condition. "An important scholarly vacuum is being filled by this work by Geldenhuys. Our understanding of the dynamics of international and domestic politics of states that experience deliberate isolation and ostracism, is clouded with controversy and ideological special pleading. The comparative nature of the analysis introduces a welcome note of dispassion into our understanding of the reasons for, manner and consequences of, the isolation of any single state. Geldenhuys continues an imaginative analytical framework with sound empirical investigation in an attempt to devise a practical and reliable instrument for evaluating the extent of a state's isolation. As a respected scholar living in one such state, South Africa, he distinguished himself in previous publications and research as an incisive analyst with a provocative and engaging writing style. In this extensive and wide-ranging piece of work he remains true to his abilities." - F van Zyl Slabbert. "While a good deal has been written about some individual isolated states, there is a striking lack of comparative studies of enforced isolation. This book fills the void by offering a detailed comparison of the international ostracism experienced by Taiwan, Chile, South Africa and Israel, while not neglecting earlier cases of isolation." - From the dustwrapper gloss.
