<br/><br/> Islands have a unique hold on our imagination as intriguing places where - as Thomas More and Jonathan Swift showed in their fiction - fantastic utopic or dystopic worlds are possible. This book highlights the idiosyncratic forms of governance that occur in places that are both a part of, and apart from, national boundaries.
