Financialization, sustainability and the right to the island: A critique of acronym models of island development

---

The penetration of financialization into the biocultural geographies of islands builds
upon processes of commodification and privatization of environments, entailing enclosures of
resource commons, environmental destruction and displacement of people, their livelihoods,
knowledge and practices, with implications for sustainability. Against this background I critique
the growing literature on acronym models of island development, arguing for more careful
consideration of issues concerning democracy, human rights and sustainability. Drawing on
the ‘right to the city’ literature, I highlight the importance of the ‘right to the island’ in an effort
to move beyond the policy imperatives of MIRAB, SITE and PROFIT. Exercising the right
to the island involves cultivating radically pluralistic democracy through struggles for
alternative island futures. In so doing it problematizes what it means to develop and achieve
sustainability.
