Abstract

The origins of the 1985 Commonwealth Report Vulnerability: Small States in the Global Society 1 lay in the political crisis in the Caribbean in late-1983 which centred around the intervention in Grenada. These events made the heads of government ‘acutely aware of the peculiar vulnerability of small states’ and thus they called for a‘study of the special needs of small states including their security needs’.2 But this was not the beginning of the Commonwealth’s concern with ‘small states’ as, since the 1979 Heads of Government Meeting in Lusaka, the Secretariat has been mandated to have a special programme to assist ‘small, specially disadvantaged and island developing states’.
