“…The coalescing of regional island studies into a wider scholarly community was strengthened by Baldacchino's efforts to conceptualise an interdisciplinary island studies (e.g., Baldacchino, 2004;2008), which broadened out beyond his earlier and continuing research interest in small island political innovation (e.g., Baldacchino & Milne, 2000;Baldacchino & Milne, 2009;Baldacchino, 2010b;Hepburn & Baldacchino, 2016), entrepreneurship (e.g., Baldacchino, 1999;2010a), and other issues. Baldacchino sought a third way between development-oriented, vulnerability-focused island research on the one hand and radical localisation of research perspectives on the other by refocusing on the island itself.…”

Island studies has developed into an established, interdisciplinary research field. It is important that island studies not only continue deepening its internal theoretical understandings but also reach out to other fields and regions that have received limited attention within island studies. It is also necessary for island studies to grapple with a number of problematic tendencies within the field and the wider scholarship, including by challenging the misuse of island spatiality to produce idealised visions of islands (for example in island sustainability research). Similarly, it is important to pursue a decolonial island studies that rethinks the ways in which island development research can end up marginalising Indigenous voices at the same time as it seeks to understand islands 'on their own terms'. Island studies, many say, is an emerging field.We live in an age that valorises dynamism and change, so it flatters our sensibilities to participate in a scholarly project that is not fixed, fusty, or static. If island studies is emerging, then we who contribute to it are at the vanguard, engaging in a new way of doing research.But this mantra of 'emergence', 'burgeoning', 'growth', 'institutionalisation' is also an apology-repeated across a range of important literature reviews and theoretical texts (e.g.,

Research on the aspects of tourism and sustainability is growing with a concern that sustainable tourism principles are diffi cult to implement in developing countries. Within this context, the paper has engaged in the identifi cation, selection and evaluation of sustainability indicators for rapid assessment of tourism development in one of the remotest and most sensitive destinations in the world, the Andaman and Nicobar Islands of India (ANI). It reviews the indicator sets and research on indicator development frameworks and examines the identifi cation and assessment of rapid economic indicators for the ANI. The ANI indicator development strategy considered indicators that are developed and assessed mainly for developed countries and evaluated a feasible bottom-up approach, which is mainly based on local knowledge for sustainable tourism initiatives in lessdeveloped islands. development framework in other small islands. It is also anticipated that the adaptation of the 'bottom-up' STRI approach would improve the ways of measuring the economic, environmental and socio-cultural impacts of tourism and gradually improve sustainable tourism planning process and policy-making in lessdeveloped small islands that have practical challenges.
