Entrepreneurship in Small Island States and Territories is the
first publication to consider the 'creative' side of enterprise in
small island states and territories. Rather than playing out as
remote, vulnerable and dependent backwaters of neo-colonialism, the
world's small island states and territories (with resident
populations of less than 1 million) show considerable
resourcefulness in facing up to the very real challenges of their
predicament. The creative endeavours of their residents,
facilitated by adroit public policy, has created economic and
investment opportunities that translate into some private sector
employment and decent livelihoods for many. Their ingenuity,
coupled with strategic investments and the support of the diaspora,
has led to a suite of (sometimes unlikely) products and services:
from citizenship and higher-level internet domain names, to
place-branded foods and beverages; from electronic gaming to niche
manufacturing. There is much more to small island survival than
subsistence farming, aid, remittances and public sector workfare.
Entrepreneurship in Small Island States and Territories helps to
dispel this myth, showcasing an aspect of life in small island
states and territories that is rarely documented or critically
reviewed.
