“…This is a major aspect of island studies, a kind of approach that has produced significant studies, mainly in the field of political science (e.g., Grydehøj, 2016;Rodd, 2016;Veenendaal, 2015). Always from this point of view, some scholars have attempted to develop a theory of island nationalism, following the subnational island jurisdiction framework proposed by Baldacchino (2004Baldacchino ( , 2010Baldacchino & Hepburn, 2012;Fazi, 2009;Hepburn, 2012;Vezina, 2014), while European cartographical representation of islands has been suggested as a central element in the development of the nation-state model (Steinberg, 2005). But, there is a lack of historical analysis, and actually the only essay that, from the point of view of an historian, deals with the subject of nation-building and state-building in an insular context is a volume concerning the role of history-writing in the formation of a regional-insular identity in the Baltic Sea (Edquist & Holmén, 2015).…”
