Summary, etc. Suggests that the per capita GDP of small island economies, and its growth through time, are explained to a large extent by two variables: the closeness of the political linkages tying each island to a coresponding metropolitan patron in the core of the world system and the level of per capita GDP in the metropolitan paton economy. Opines that in the small-island setting, there has been no tradeoff between political dependence and material welfare, the two go hand in hand.
