In The Small Nation Solution, eminent anthropologist John H. Bodley argues that the contemporary global problems of poverty, conflict, and environmental degradation are problems of scale and power. Bodley’s solution involves keeping nations small so as to limit the power of elite directors. It is a simple idea with profound implications. He spotlights successful small nations around the world as the best working models of sustainable sociocultural systems and shows how these diverse small nations can be the building blocks of a transformed global system that could save the world.
John H. Bodleyis Regents Professor of Anthropology at Washington State University. Known for his trenchant critiques of capitalism and the elite corporate power structure, he is the author of Cultural Anthropology, 5th edition (2011), Anthropology and Contemporary Human Problems, 6th edition (2012), and Victims of Progress, 5th edition (2008), all published by AltaMira Press.
