This special issue 1 contains a selection of papers that were originally presented at the First European Colloquium on Pacific Studies, which was organized by the newly established Centre for Pacific Studies at the University of Nijmegen, the Netherlands, in December 1992.The colloquium aimed to bring together European scholars from various disciplinary backgrounds who are engaged in research in the Pacific.The conference attracted 150 people, most of whom were affiliated with European research institutions, but included a considerable number of people from the USA, Canada, and, of course, the Pacific, including Australia. 2 The topic of the conference, Transformations and Traditions in the South Pacific, was deliberately formulated to cover a broad range of subjects, to allow a wide range of scholars with divergent research interests the opportunity to participate.By the same token, the organizers of the colloquium aimed at generating debate on contemporary issues in the Pacific, a region presently undergoing rapid change under the impact of global influences.Since World War II, the South Pacific's strategic location in between the continents of America and Asia has become increasingly apparent. 3 Consequently, the world market has also been expanding into the Pacific, particularly over the past two decades.Notwithstanding their increased integration in the world economy, however, many Pacific nations have in recent years severed the historical bonds with their former colonizers and gained independence.In most cases, the independence of Pacific states has, nevertheless, only had effects on the political level, while the economies of Pacific states continue to rely heavily on development aid funds and foreign investments by former colonizers.At the same time, the * Hanson's paper was also discussed in the New York Times (20-2
