Abstract: The Economic characteristics of small states are well documented, and include limited ability to exploit economies of scale; lack of natural resource endowments and high import content. Other characteristics relate to limitations of diversification possibilities; dependence on a narrow range of products; limitations on the extent to which domestic competition policy can be applied. In the case of small island states, a major problem relates to high international transport costs and uncertainties of industrial supplies due to insularity and remoteness. In spite of this, many small states would seem to be performing relatively well. This paper will explore this seeming contradiction. The role of good governance, and therefore of the state, is seen to be of major importance for resilience building.
