It successfully advances ones understanding of the political economy of development in small states, with pertinent references to their viability in the context of climate change. From a practical standpoint, it offers policy solutions that while requiring further consultation for strategic and effective implementation contain high-level policy recommendations that can direct small states toward improving their governance performance. The book, therefore, is not only suitable for students and academics, but is a valuable tool for policy makers alike. Exoteric and insightful, the book will also connect with casual learners interested in issues affecting development in small states. The text comprises 26 chapters written by a group of scholars, researchers, and specialist practitioners; working in the fields of sociology, politics, economics, international political economy, development studies, environmental sciences, and engineering. The contributors work in various capacities across government agencies, universities, and international finance institutions, in some cases, criss-crossing platforms. They thus bring to the book a wealth of theoretical and practical knowledge in important, cross-cutting themes under social, economic, environmental, and political governance. The Handbook is divided neatly into four parts: Political Governance, Environmental Governance, Social Governance, and Economic Governance. Each section has between six and eight chapters, outlining various topics under the respective themes. Generally, concepts are properly defined, and in cases where they are not, authors outline areas for further work to improve conceptual clarity. This extends to areas of limitations of data. Methodologically, chapters display intellectual rigour, making use of quantitative, qualitative, or mixed method data gathering approaches. The chapters make judicious use of statistical tables where applicable and necessary, in order to enhance analytical clarity. The chapters make good use of multi-year data (as recent as 2019), as well as comparative analysis across small states, and between small states and large economies. Chapters are not overly long, yet comprehensive and thorough with adequate references for further delving into each topic. - Courtney Lindsay, Independent Scholar "Further, the case studies from disparate geographic areas help to situate the challenges experienced by small island states in the Pacific in a global context. Overall, The Handbook of Governance in Small States is a useful primer in terms of how governance is related to the current state of the economy and environment, particularly climate change, in Pacific countries." - David Fazzino, Bloomsburg University of Pennsylvania
