ABSTRACT
This chapter examines the dark entrepreneurship for small island states and territories, including but not limited to tourism. It also provides some examples of dark island entrepreneurship follow and enable a subsequent discussion of ethics, starting with drivers and mechanisms of entrepreneur-ship and ending with power dynamics. Therefore the dark entrepreneurship refers to the livelihoods and economic activities that violate ethical or legal norms across many jurisdictions and are unconcerned with demonstrable resulting harm. Many small island states and territories rely on typical natural resource extraction activities. Natural resource extraction has dark entrepreneurship dimensions, with small island states and territories providing numerous examples, but the virtue of these activities depends on the viewpoint adopted. Accepting nuclear waste from outside jurisdictions, voluntarily or involuntarily, may negatively impact environmental conditions in islands. 'Waste trade' or waste acceptance, like most of the questionable entrepreneur-ship activities mentioned, is poorly documented, especially with regard to the income earned.
