520 _a"This handbook is a concise survey of the international affairs of the South Pacific and is a unique introduction and reference resource on the region. It will provide government officials, academics, students, business people and others with a compact and reliable source of information on each of the states in the region, the major outside powers and the key South Pacific organisations. The format ... facilitates quick retrieval of up-to-date facts and figures on: economic resources and opportunities; political institutions and leaders; foreign policy objectives; diplomatic initiatives and issues; trade, aid, borrowing and tourism. Introductory chapters present an historical, economic and political overview, noting the assets and liabilities the South Pacific governments have inherited. The body of the book is a case-by-case summary of endowments, institutions and issues in each island state and self-governing territory. The text is amply supported by maps, tables, lists and an index"--Back cover.
