'Small sees big': international order through small state leaders' insights via the intellectual propaganda of Czechoslovak, Ghanaian and Singaporean leaders/ Alan Chong - 2021

The intellectual propaganda of charismatic and authoritative foreign policy leaders from then-Czechoslovakia, Ghana and Singapore. This article will pose the question: how do small state leaders contribute to the intellectual and political creation of a more benign international order through public articulations of what they interpret to be the primary causes of power inequalities in international relations in their time? This question will be answered by examining three small state leaders' foreign policy thought from the historical perspective of Czechoslovakia between the late 1910s and 1940s, Ghana in the 1950s and 1960s, and Singapore between the 1960s to the early 2000s.
