Lühikirjeldus: My thesis explores the role of islands within contemporary urbanization. Questioning how islands are often imagined as isolated or peripheral spaces, but through my research I found that they increasingly function as strategic zones within global systems of finance, tourism, governance, and speculation. The thesis looks at how islands operate as spaces of exception, where special economic policies, offshore systems, tourism economies, and external investment reshape local realities. I also explore how “islandness” now extends beyond geography, influencing places that are not physically islands but operate through similar logic of enclosure, control, and economic specialization.The research combines themes of planetary urbanization, power, sovereignty, and uneven development. Overall, the thesis argues that islands are not marginal to globalization, but are actually central to understanding how contemporary urban systems function.
