A five-part publication on economic and social development in the Pacific islands, at a time of great change in the world around them and in the islands themselves. This book
- sketches the dimensions of distance, scale, variety, and change
- describes the process of achieving political independence, and some of the external constraints and opportunities that have emerged for the independent Pacific island states in their pursuit of economic growth
- looks at issues in the management of Pacific island economies, both at the level of the whole economy and in specific sectors, including foreign aid and financial systems
- discusses some of the social dimensions of the development process, and describes how problems of governance and public sector reform are evolving
- suggests broad guidelines for economic managers based on experiences of the last two or three decades in the Pacific islands and elsewhere.
Introduction
- Outlook for the Voyage: Oceanic Perspective
- Taking Command: Dimensions of Political Independence
