Abstract

No nation or semi-autonomous state has ever found that being geographically situated very close to a much larger and much more powerful state is a comfortable position or an unmixed blessing. The histories of the Austrians, the Finns, the Irish, the Poles and the Vietnamese all testify to the dangers inherent in such a situation. Similarly, in more purely economic terms, metropolises have been able to dominate their hinterlands through the concentration of financial, industrial and market power that the metropolis enjoyed. It is not surprising therefore that when nationality differences and metropolis-hinterland differences reinforce each other, the desirability of the status quo is questioned by the hinterland nation.
