This workshop revisits Thucydides as a strategic analyst of power politics and uses his work to examine how small states preserve autonomy, security, and political stability great power competition settings. The workshop treats asymmetry as a recurring feature of international order and focuses on how coercion, credibility, misperception, and escalation dynamics shape the decision space of middle and small powers alike. Participants will engage directly with selected Thucydidean episodes to identify enduring patterns in bargaining under duress, alliance behavior, and the limits of moral and legal argument when vital interests are at stake.
