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: Improving Connectivity and Increasing the Effectiveness of Public Services 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.
