Abstract: The development of the small island territories is often approached under the angle of the vulnerability, the limits and other handicaps which penalize inevitably their growth perspectives. However, it is noticed that some islands display nowadays among the most prosperous economies to the world. The object of this reflection is to propose a frame to study the small islands, the evolution of their positioning and trajectories of development. It's interesting to see how small islands, with their different political statuses and economic dependences, manage their development in the globalized economy by using conveniently their peculiarity.
