This book focuses on the concept of insularity within development theory, and, within this framework, provides a variety of integrated and illustrative cases. Insularity is of the highest importance, as so many countries are insular in whole or in part, yet the concept is not devoid of ambiguity. The main focus of the book is on methodological issues, and the concept of degrees of insularity is introduced as a tool for a better understanding of the phenomena involved.
