520			_a Describes some of the difficulties which small developing countries experience and uses Dominica to illustrate this. This includes population dispersion and monocrop dependency. Notes that in spite of favourable conditions for private investment, response has not been as expected. Reasons advanced include limited natural resources, high risk factor, poor or inefficient technological base. Vulnerability to natural disasters is one of the gravest problems faced by small states. This can only be overcome by grouping where the impact is lessened because of the buffer formed by other members when one state falls prey to disaster.
