<br/><br/> Examines issues of sustainable development in a Pacific Islands context. After an introduction to the region, case studies from five different countries report on damage which orthodox development has done to natural resources such as mining, fishing, logging, and agriculture. More optimistic case studies demonstrate sustainable alternatives in agriculture, forestry, tourism, and the urban sector. Specific topics include migration and the Cook Islands, nature conservation and aid in Samoa, and commodity production and unsustainable agriculture.
