Book Description:

This book focuses on the newer forces that are reshaping the political scene within the Pacific Islands. It examines the evolving impact of women in politics, of NGOs, of electronic media, of sovereignty movements on the one hand and, on the other, the search for forms of political and constitutional association between small countries and large metropolitan powers that yield both the dignity of independence and the security and diversity of belonging to large systems.

Written almost entirely by Pacific Islanders - many of them people active in the political process - this and a parallel book on Pacific Islands relations with the wider world which is now being prepared, give fresh perspectives by insiders on the world’s most politically complex region.
