Summary/Abstract The Kingdom of Tonga is commonly referred to as a 'small island developing state', and is consequently said to experience challenges that hinder its development. Yet significant levels of Tongan migration - and subsequent remittances - have led commentators to challenge this pessimistic view. In particular, Tonga has been characterised as a 'deterritorialised nation-state', whereby the 'state' remains the geographically bounded territory of Tonga; while the 'nation-state' consists of all Tongans, including those overseas. This article seeks to build on previous literature to provide a detailed consideration of how the deterritorialised Tongan nation-state works in relation to the different dimensions of Tongan life.
