Abstract/Summary:
The present study examines the ability of small states to influence the balance of power at the international level, using their intelligence services. Romania's involvement in the Cold War superpower competition and its international posture after the collapse of communism corroborate the core assumption put forward in the neorealist theory of intelligence: that the structure of the international system can bolster the effectiveness of a small state's intelligence service.
