在这一章中，我们观察到，岛屿经济体，特别是小岛屿经济体(人口低于100万)，表现出相当广泛的经济结构，建立在相应广泛的发展战略之上。“孤岛性”的共同要素可能有助于将岛屿经济定义为一个一般类别，但在这一类别中显然存在几个不同的“物种”，并就岛屿居民融入全球经济的条件向岛民社区提供相应的战略选择菜单。这一章有两个重要的信息。第一，没有独一无二的发展道路。第二，在小型经济体中，必须将最近的发展文献(Hall&Jones，1999；Acemoglu等人，2002；Rodrik等人，2004)中强调的社会资本和“制度”理解为包括实现和维持全社会围绕某一特定发展专门领域的战略共识的能力，以及在外部机会领域发生变化时转向替代办法的足够灵活性。
In this chapter we build on the observation that island economies, and especially small ones (population below one million), exhibit a remarkably wide range of economic structures built on a correspondingly wide range of development strategies. Common elements of "islandness" may serve to define island economies as a general class, but there clearly exist several distinct "species" within that class, and a corresponding menu of strategic options open to islander communities in relation to the terms of their incorporation into the global economy. The chapter has two important messages. First, there is no unique path to development. Second, in small economies, the social capital and "institutions" emphasized in the recent development literature (Hall & Jones, 1999; Acemoglu et al., 2002; Rodrik et al., 2004) have to be understood as incorporating the ability to achieve and sustain community-wide strategic consensus around a particular development specialization, along with sufficient flexibility to switch to alternatives as and when the field of external opportunities changes.
