Islands are a compelling topic of social and historical studies: on the one hand, they have clear geographical borders, which seem to determine distinct identities and political autonomy. On the other hand, many islands have been hubs in trans-maritime economic, political, and cultural connections or are of geopolitical relevance, and are hence not at all isolated from outside world. Comparisons between the Baltic and Mediterranean Sea regions have played an important role in historiography long before Fernand Braudel’s seminal work, often reflecting on tensions between processes of unification and fragmentations in both regions. While the focus on the Mediterranean has been widely dominating until the 20th century, this constellation has changed in political terms since the 1990s, when Baltic regional cooperation and integration has been promoted by regional actors as well as from the European Union as a model also for the Mediterranean. Deborah Paci’s book undertakes what has been often demanded, but rarely delivered: It combines both maritime regions and delves into the fascinating history of various islands, selected as case studies. She analyses historical and political imaginaries of island identities with a broader perspective on their role in both regions as focal areas of the European Union as well as on their role in recent geopolitical developments.
