Pacific island countries and territories (PICTs) have (too) often been identified with elements of vulnerability, whether these be social, economic, or environmental in nature. While these factors cannot be overlooked, this volume aims to showcase not only the long-standing and emerging challenges but, perhaps more importantly, the opportunities, the resilience, the resourcefulness, and the ambition that local socioeconomic development patterns in the Pacific already encompass. Beyond PICTs themselves, we hope that the analyses collected in this book will contribute to highlighting the global significance of the human–nature nexus in the current Anthropocene. Often captured in the concept of “small islands, big oceans”, the importance of the region and its islands and peoples transcends the geographical remoteness and small size of many PICTs. 0aEconomic development.958075 0aEthnologyxAsia.966900 0aCulture.959159 0aEthnology.95868714aDevelopment Studies.96785124aAsian Culture.96690224aRegional Cultural Studies.9685951 aMonaco, Edoardo.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt9807221 aAbe, Masato.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt9807232 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer Nature eBook08iPrinted edition:z978981973628708iPrinted edition:z978981973630008iPrinted edition:z978981973631740uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-981-97-3629-4  aZDB-2-SLS  aZDB-2-SXS  c61670d61670
