Abstract
Contrary to most of its neighbouring countries and fellow European nations, Luxembourg as a case study suffers from a lack of academic literature on its national policy-making traditions and procedures, be they of political, economic, diplomatic or military nature. This is due to sheer size, a demography of some 500,000 citizens today, and because it took the country a long time, more than a century, to build up a diplomatic and military presence large enough to interact constructively with its neighbours and potential international allies. Only after 1945, Luxembourg considered it necessary to have it own regular diplomatic administration and a universal and professional military service, albeit on a dimension appropriate to the needs of a small country.
