Editorial Reviews
Review
“This is a very welcome book that contributes to extremely important and ongoing discussions. It will appeal to a broad readership including specialists in the fields of conflict studies, divided and contested states, border researchers, and island experts as well as curious neophytes. … highly enjoyable source of information about divided islands and a vital first step towards a fuller understanding of the place of islands within wider (and more conventional) political geographies.” (Giulia Carabelli, Urban Island Studies, Vol. 1, January, 2016)
‘The contributions to this volume provide a valuable supplement to any university reading list involving questions of sovreignty, identity, regional politcal economy adn postcolonial politics.’ The Round Table
