Small states face special hurdles in achieving development gains. These
states spend significantly more of their GDP on producing public goods
and services, and they face higher connectivity costs than do their
larger brethren. Small States, Smart Solutions examines how some
small states use international trade and telecommunications technology
to outsource services such as justice, banking supervision, public
utilities regulation, high-quality medicine, and education. Sourcing
these services internationally poses unique challenges but also opens
broad opportunities. The eight case studies in this book, based on
interviews with government officers and citizens, describe pioneering
initiatives undertaken by some small states to better the quality of
life of their citizens.
