“…This phenomenon, it should be noted, is also distinct from the weakness or poverty with which it is often (wrongly) equated. Rather, the notion of vulnerability stresses the fragility and ephemerality of development; a heightened level, perhaps, of the contingency we have stressed throughout this chapter (for a more detailed example of this argument, see Bishop 2012). For the small Caribbean territories at large, such vulnerability can conceivably flow from the acute contemporary development challenge -characterised by debt, climate change, crime, food insecurity and the decline of preferences -that we also outlined in Chapter 3.…”

“…Were they so counted, Martinique and Guadeloupe would be considered 'High Income' countries. The point, rather than an enduring lack of development, is that small Caribbean islands are vulnerable to dramatic changes in the nature of that development in ways that larger stateshowever rich or poor they might be -are not (see Bishop 2012). In short, external shocks can rapidly induce severe political, economic and social instability in small states, and even call into question their fundamental viability (Jessop 2007: 6).…”

“…The other major strand of this literature examines the performance of small states in international affairs. While some works, such as those contributing to debates in political economy (Campbell & Hall, 2009;Katzenstein, 1985Katzenstein, , 2003Ken, 2007;Remmer, 2010;Siddiqui, 2010;Verdun, 2013) have concentrated on the governance characteristics of small states which facilitate their successful performance in global markets, others (Bishop, 2012;Katzenstein, 1985) have addressed the vulnerability of small states to external shocks, especially in terms of climate change and other environmental threats (Briguglio, Cordina, Vella, & Vigilance, 2010). These two characteristics -the recognized importance of small states in regional governance systems and small state vulnerability to environmental threats -highlight the relevance of small states for TWM debates.…”

“…The remainder of the outsiders are small states. Bishop's (2012) overview of the small-state literature reminds us of the relative obscurity to which these actors have been relegated in international relations scholarship. However, despite their economic vulnerability, Briguglio et al (2010) have found small states to be quite resilient in the international system.…”
