Rezensionen

"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
