Recenzii

'With a powerful ensemble of academics and government representatives to make their case, this book examines how regional cooperation in the Pacific - involving governments and civil society - is being reshaped by enhanced economic and political integration, more effective resource management and fledging international diplomacy. This, in a context of emergent unilateralism (Australia), failed state politics (Solomon Islands), economic liberalization and security concerns.' Godfrey Baldacchino, University of Prince Edward Island, Canada 'Some edited collections date very quickly, but this book retains its utility for scholars and policy makers alike...Redefining the Pacific? provides valuable insights into recent efforts to build a stronger regional community, at a time when the Pacific Islands Forum is trying to implement the vision of the Pacific Plan.' The Contemporary Pacific '...this collection will serve as a benchmark for a process of change in the Pacific Islands region that is likely to continue for some time to come. The impressive list of authors gives authority to the analyses offered. And, whatever direction the region takes and whatever role that regionalism plays in the adaptation of member states make to the less congenial international environment of the 21st century, this volume will be a very useful starting point for understanding the origins and motivations for the Pacific Plan.' Journal of Pacific History '[The book] undeniably crams in a great deal of information on the Pacific and South Pacific. Awareness of the socio-economic problems of the region is vital for anyone interested in "redefining the Pacific", and in that respect this volume, with its great wealth of data, can be of help.'
