Founded in 1968, USP has expanded the intellectual horizons of generations of students from its 12 member countries?Cook Islands, Fiji, Kiribati, Marshall Islands, Nauru, Niue, Samoa, Solomon Islands, Tokelau, Tonga, Tuvalu and Vanuatu?and been responsible for the formation of a regional elite of educated Pacific Islanders who can be found in key positions in government and commerce across the region. At the same time, this book celebrates the collaboration of USP with The Australian National University in research, doctoral training, teaching and joint activities. Twelve of our 19 contributors gained their doctorates at ANU, most of them before or after being students and/or teaching staff at USP, and the remaining five embody the cross-fertilisation in teaching, research and consultancy of the two institutions. The contributions to this collection, with a few exceptions, are republications of key articles on the Pacific Islands by scholars with extensive experience and knowledge of the region." 410 0$aPacific series. 606 $aAustralia$2bicssc 606 $aPacific Rim countries$2bicssc 606 $aEducation$2bicssc 607 $aOceania$xSocial conditions 607 $aOceania$xEconomic conditions 607 $aOceania$xPolitics and government 610 $aPacific Islands 610 $aAustralia 610 $aeducation 615 7$aAustralia 615 7$aPacific Rim countries 615 7$aEducation 676 $a378.9611 700 $aFirth$b Stewart$4edt 702 $aFirth$b Stewart 702 $aNaidu$b Vijay 801 0$bWaSeSS 801 1$bWaSeSS 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910330455103321 996 $aUnderstanding Oceania$92272084 997 $aUNINA
