Isolated in the south Atlantic, St Helena is now one of Britain's more intractable colonial responsibilities. In this paper a senior official with recent experience of the island describes three aspects of its situation which need to be handled in parallel; political advancement, the revival of economic enterprise and formulating an assured British aid policy together with clarification of links with Ascension Island and Britain. The analysis extends understanding of the difficulties of a remote microstate.
