Book excerpt: England's former east Caribbean islands and the U.S. Virgin Islands have evolved as constitutional democracies with a mix of open market capitalism and socialist government oversight to shield their people from runaway private enterprise. These are unique achievements for small states fighting for survival in a world of mega power politics. They have against many odds tenaciously clung to their independence, have been able to hold their own in the international corridors of power and have even been successful in growing their economies. The problem is that in the approximately half century since these states have become self-governing, they have been unable to close their income gaps with their more industrialized trading and investment partners in North America, Europe and Asia. Why this income gap continues to exist and how it is being addressed are the issues addressed in this book. This book argues that this existing income inequality in the islands is a consequence of the unequal footing they suffered during the colonial era and is being prolonged by current economic policies and programs encouraged by their own governments in conjunction with those of their major trading partners.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Small islands often enjoy a distinct juridical personality. Many, whether fully sovereign or not, successfully deploy this "gift of jurisdiction" to economic advantage, offsetting the potentially adverse effects of smallness, isolation and peripherality. These legal powers, reflected in supportive policy and culture, are themselves key economic resources in a development strategy. Globalization can be richly asymmetrical, offering lucrative opportunities for differentiation and nice strategies for small island jurisdictions. This book documents such lessons from a most unlikely group of North Atlantic Islands.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Island Studies can be deceptively challenging and rewarding for an undergraduate student. Islands can be many things: nations, tourist destinations, quarantine stations, billionaire baubles, metaphors. The study of islands offers a way to take this 'bewildering variety' and to use it as a lens and a tool to better understand our own world of islands. An Introduction to Island Studies is an approachable look at this interdisciplinary field - from the islands as biodiversity hotspots, their settlement, human migration and occupation through to the place of islands in the popular imagination. Featuring geopolitical, social and economic frameworks, James Randall gives a bottom-up guide to this most modern area of study. From the geological analysis of island formation to the metaphorical use of islands in culture and literature, the growing field of island studies is truly interdisciplinary. This new introduction gives readers from many disciplines the local, global, and regional perspectives that unlock the promise of island studies as a way to see the world. From the struggles and concerns of the Anthropocene—climate change, vulnerability and resilience, sustainable development, through to policy making and local environments—island studies has the potential to change the debate.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The household has traditionally been neglected in studies of Asian political economy. While there is an emergent literature that looks at this relationship, to date, it is fragmented. The contributors consider how the household economy has increasingly been incorporated into development planning and policy making within both states and multilateral development agencies. They examine the social consequences of the tendency to view households as marketizable spaces, and explore how the household economy relates to broader structures of industrial production in the region. With case studies on Singapore, Malaysia, Sri Lanka, India, Japan, South Korea, Vietnam and China, they provide a comprehensive picture of the centrality of the household economy to ongoing processes and struggles associated with the continuous economic transformation of the region.
