Going missing : islands, incarceration and disappearance

Abstract

Island geography and jurisdiction combine to extend the suite of services that can be competitively provided by small jurisdictions. Among these, differential access to territory, including banning and enforced exile, is a manifestation of power and a privileging of discourses about securitization. The resulting im/mobilities are more easily enforceable via the island condition, which conceptually takes on the guise/trope of a carceral environment to those left either inside or outside.
