La quatrième de couverture indique : "Providing a fully fledged theory of enclaves and exclaves, A Theory of Enclaves covers a wide scope of regions throughout the world, focusing on three facets of enclaves' existence : political, economic, and social. Rich with maps and illustrations, this book covers 282 enclaves with a combined population of approximately 3 million, and shows the importance of enclaves because of their specific status and the issues they raise for both the mainland and surrounding states. Vinokurov explores, for example, the fact that Gibraltar played a disproportionately large role in British-Spanish relations throughout the past three centuries, Kaliningrad managed to cause a major crisis in EU-Russian relations in 2002-2003, tiny Ceuta and Melilla have caused tensions in Spanish-Moroccan relations for more than three centuries and have recently become visible as conflict points at the EU level, and German Buesingen was subject to several complex international treaties between Germany and Switzerland. Rather than viewing each enclave as a unique case, or even as an anormaly, A Theory of Enclaves provides a systematic investigation of enclave-related political and economical issues."
