TL;DR: In this article, the authors suggest that there is an ecology related to country smallness, which is accentuated by a number of relativities including the absence of emigration or exit outlets, poverty in combination with high material expectations, smallness and compactness of land area, and high population density.
Abstract: Different but corroborative research strategies suggest that there is an ecology related to country smallness (Commonwealth Secretariat, 1986, pp. 54-56; Farrugia & Attard, 1989, p. 15). The essential criteria seem to be a small, permanent population in a condition of self-governing isolation, resource scarcity, and a long, deep and pervasive colonial penetration. The condition may be accentuated by a number of relativities including the absence of emigration or exit outlets, poverty in combination with high material expectations, smallness and compactness of land area, and high population density. Evidently, all territories demonstrate different quotas of each of these intervening parameters, such that the compound effects are genuinely unique in the nature and degree of impact. The 'smallness effect' may be expected to fade into insignificance as the country size increases: size, as operationalised above, may be seen to include the gross national product, land area, population size and economic/cultural self-relianceparameters which relievingly tend to exhibit high degrees of inter-correlation (Erb & Schiavo-Campo, 1969, p. 187). The composite effect is also, ceteris paribus, expected to be more pronounced on microstates in contrast to other microterritories, because the strictures on the social field in the former are generally tighter; these microstates, especially compact island ones, contain more locally bounded experiences, resources and relationships, while always keeping in mind-especially in the context of globalisationthat there is no such thing as a closed system:
