Abstract

[fre] Le développement par la rente dans les petites économies insulaires. . Quel que soit leur statut politique, les petites économies insulaires sont souvent très dépendantes d'une rente extérieure administrative, militaire, ou privée (envois de travailleurs émigrés). Il en résulte des « déséquilibres » souvent stigmatisés : forte dépendance envers « l'aide » extérieure, déficit de la balance commerciale, « hypertrophie » du secteur tertiaire, chômage et/ou émigration.. L'article présente une analyse théorique qui explique ces « déséquilibres » comme une forme du « syndrome hollandais » observé dans les économies de rente énergétique, puis esquisse une théorie de l'échange international de services non marchands, qui permet de rendre compte de l'apparente « spécialisation » des petites économies insulaires dans l'exportation vers de « grands pays » de « services » militaires, géostratégiques, ou géopolitiques non marchands, contre une aide publique qui permet de financer les importations de biens privés. [eng] Rent as a development strategy for smallisland economies. . Small island economies (SIE) typically exhibit a high dependance on foreign or metropolitan aid, low export to import ratios, hypertrophy of the public sector and tertiary activities, and a high rate of unemployment and/or emigration.. The article presents a theory of this development pattern, making an analogy with the economies exhibiting the « dutch disease », as a resuit of an energetic or mining rent. Finally, the article sketches a theory of non market international trade, which helps to explain why comparative advantage often lies, for SIEs, in the trading of « aid » (or « rent », financing the SIEs' trade deficit and bureaucracy) in exchange for non market public exports of military, geo-strategic or geo-political non market public services.
