GLOBAL WARMING AND THE EXPLOITATION OF SMALL ISLAND STATES

Résumé

Islands fascinate people living on continents. Starting from this viewpoint, we will analyze the current debate on the consequences of global warming and demonstrate how small island states have been exploited by a diverse coalition of experts, activists, journalists, celebrities, and politicians. The scenario of rising sea levels threatening islands and creating “climatic refugees” has become a source of funding for island states posing as victims of development in order to obtain compensation. We conclude by focusing on the Maldives and Tuvalu islands and the skillful media staging of their predicament.
