description: Competing Strategies of Socio-Economic Development for Small Islands outlines development strategies for small islands within increasingly integrated regional and global economies. Islands provide intriguing lessons in the culture, economics, and management of a sustainable pattern of development based on locally proven, home-grown "good sense," far removed from continental "best practices."This collection of essays is a result of the international conference, "An Island Patterns of Autonomy and Dependence in the Small Islands of the North Atlantic," convened at Brackley Beach, Prince Edward Island, in September 1992. Fifty-two participants exchanged views on the social, political, and economic challenges facing twenty-four small island territories. This book, Volume 2 in the Island Living Series, consists of sixteen papers, thirteen of which were originally presented at the Conference and have subsequently been edited and updated.
