Sommario/riassunto

Using historical, comparative and inductive analysis, Helga Turku explains why states may choose to isolate themselves both domestically and internationally. The book examines extreme forms of self-imposed domestic and international isolation in an interdependent international system, noting the effects on both the immediate interests of a ruling regime and the long-term national interests of the state and the populace.
