Manuscript Xliii
Anti-nuclear protests in the Pacific Islands began in the 1950s. There were a series of petitions throughout the decade as Islanders living under colonial administration sought assistance from the United Nations Trusteeship Council, the newly created Non-Aligned Movement, and international ecumenical networks such as the World Council of Churches. At the height of the 1950s Cold War between the United States and USSR, these calls were mostly brus…

This article investigates the poten…
Fiji, Iraq and Pacific island security
The reverberations from the war in Iraq have been felt worldwide- and in regions far distant from the Middle East. A whole industry has grown up, in which private military and security corporations plug the gaps that the armed forces of the US and Britain cannot fill, providing back-up services, security and logistics. The Pacific nation of Fiji, with its highly regarded military tradition, has proved a fertile recruiting ground for such companie…
