Abstract

The purpose of this chapter is to provide an analysis of Iceland’s first National Security Policy (NSP). The chapter argues that the NSP reveals a long-standing tension between two competing security identities in Iceland - a “small state” identity on the one hand, and a “big impact” identity on the other. Through the analysis, these identities - and what they reveal about how security policy is made in Iceland - are unpacked.
