This is important in a complex and ever-changing situation involving a dynamic interplay between local, regional and global factors. Security narratives are constructed in multiple ways and are used to frame our responses to the challenges and threats to our sense of safety, wellbeing, identity and survival but how the narratives are constructed is a matter of intellectual and political contestation. Using three case studies from the Pacific (Fiji, Tonga and Solomon Islands), Contested Terrain shows the different security challenges facing each country, which result from their unique historical, political and socio-cultural circumstances. Contrary to the view that the Pacific is a generic entity with common security issues, this book argues for more localised and nuanced approaches to security framing and analysis. 410 0$aPacific series. 606 $aNational security$zPacific Area 607 $aPacific Area$xPolitics and government 607 $aPacific Area$xMilitary policy 610 $aPacific 610 $aSecurity 615 0$aNational security 676 $a355.03301823 700 $aRatuva$b Steven$0802390 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910346055103321 996 $aContested terrain$91991252 997 $aUNINA
