What the paper says

This article discusses the problem of island studies, predicated on the notion of ‘islandness’, as a field apart from land studies by showing that as a unit of recognition an island is only a highly specific kind of land. For every island its ‘islandness’ is unique, but only in the mode that all highly localised inhabited land is. The discussion finds the case of proponents of island studies for any significant re/ordering planning practice wanting.
