Securing a Peaceful Pacific

Canterbury University Press, 2005
Front jacket creased.
Why has the Pacific experienced growing levels of conflict and political instability in recent years? What has been the impact on Pacific peoples? What can be done to avoid further conflict?
This book, based on a major international conference held at the University of Canterbury in October 2004, seeks to answer these questions by drawing on the expertise of a diverse range of contributors: academics, diplomats, soldiers, police, aid workers, non-government organisations and the indigenous Pacific people themselves.
A comprehensive account, this major work will be of interest to both academic and non-academic readers concerned about past, present and future developments in the Pacific neighbourhood.
