  • "In the volatile post Cold War era, the small, vulnerable states of the Pacific Islands region face major security and sovereignty challenges. Environmentally, the very existence of some of the island states is threatened by rising sea levels as a result of global warming. Economically, they mostly face continued dependence and increased poverty. Politically, they face challenges from secessionist and other internal conflicts. Strategically, while no longer 'sheltered' by the 'strategic denial' umbrella of the Cold War era, they are increasingly open to ripple effects from developments in Asia and the wider world. Meanwhile the interest and involvement of several aid donors have diminished. In this book a leading specialist examines trends and issues in the region over the last decade, and the uncertain prospects of the island states over the next. He emphasises political and military matters, including the role of external powers, but also considers environmental, economic and resources issues."
