Steven Ratuva examines security in the Pacific as a relationship between political institutions, communities, economic conditions and the environment. He asks how different groups define threats and how those definitions shape responses to conflict and insecurity.
Case studies of Fiji, Tonga and Solomon Islands connect regional debates to particular histories of coups, unrest and peacebuilding. The book combines field and archival research with discussion of competing approaches to security, considering the connections between everyday circumstances and national or international priorities. Its final chapter draws together the implications for the region, while a substantial reference list provides routes into the wider literature.
