This study deliberately creates a reversed asymmetry by presenting the van -ous issue areas from the viewpoint of the subordinate rather than that of the dominant partner. This approach helps redress the customary neglect of the less-powerful states at the expense of an understandable preoccupation with the policies of major international actors such as the United States and the Federal RepubUc of Germany. The authors are Austrian and Canadian specialists in their respective fields .
Harald von Riekhoff is professor of political science at Carleton University in Ottawa, Canada. Hanspeter Neuhold is professor of international law and international relations at the University ofVienna in Austria and director of the Austrian Institute for International Affairs.
