Most micro-states are former colonies; many are islands or archipelagoes. These small and emerging countries have often experienced difficulty establishing themselves in the international arena as fully sovereign nations. For this special issue of the Canadian Review of Studies in Nationalism, we invite essays on the politics and history of nationalist movements in such states as Andorra, Antigua and Barbuda, Barbados, Belize, Brunei, Cape Verde, Cyprus, the Comoros, Djibouti, Dominica, Fiji, Gabon, Gambia, Grenada, Guyana, Kiribati, Liechtenstein, Luxemburg, Maldive Islands, Malta, Marshall Islands, Mauritius, Micronesia, Namibia, Nauru, Palau, Samoa, São Tom , Seychelles, Singapore, Solomon Islands, Suriname, Tonga, Trinidad and Tobago, Tuvalu, Vanuatu, and others. As well, we welcome articles on independence movements in non-sovereign entities such as, for example, East Timor, Faeroe Islands, Montenegro and Nevis. We also invite essays that develop theoretical approaches appropriate to a discussion of national movements in such small countries.
