This report attempts to overcome that shortcoming and provides a comprehensive analysis of vulnerability of small states in all its dimensions, including political, economic, social and environmental aspects. The Commonwealth's 31 small states (countries with a population of 1.5 million or less) do not form a homogeneous group, but share important characteristics which render them vunerable, including openess, insularity, enclaveness, weakness and dependence. These characteristics of vulnerabilty are examined both by type of threat - territorial, political, economic and social progress; but others have struggled to develop their economics.
