Consequently, new forms of resistance and resilience – the processes by which communities attempt to regain their original social, political, and economic status and structure after disruption or displacement – emerge. Through case studies from across the Pacific which transcend the conventional “local-global” dichotomy, this volume aims to explore these complex and interwoven phenomena from a new perspective.Pacific perspectives.GlocalizationPacific AreaCase studiesGlobalizationSocial aspectsPacific AreaCase studiesPacific AreaSocial conditions21st centuryCase studiesGlobalization, Indigenous Culture, Geography, Asia-Pacific, Cultural Homogenization, Global-Local Dichotomy.GlocalizationGlobalizationSocial aspects303.48/21823Dousset LaurentNayral MelissaMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910793385403321Pacific realities3770724UNINA
