Book Does the Pacific Plan Really Offer an Avenue for Stronger and Deeper Regional Cooperation

Download or read book Does the Pacific Plan Really Offer an Avenue for Stronger and Deeper Regional Cooperation written by Viliame Wilikilagi and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Pacific Plan for Strengthening Regional Cooperation and Integration has been alluded to as an agreement by Forum Island Countries that will need stronger and deeper cooperation to emerge in order to mitigate and address the multiple complex challenges that the region faces. The Pacific Plan encapsulates the four broad strategic goals of the Pacific Forum related to economic growth, sustainable development, governance and security. The whole emphasis of the Plan is to enhance living standards, provide a platform for Pacific people to develop and grow and ensure that the process is sustainable and viable. The Pacific Plan was adopted by Forum Island Leaders in Port Moresby in 2005 as the basis for regional cooperation and integration that will hopefully bring about stronger and deeper cooperation as a pathway for managing our common externalities whether positive or negative by initiating harmonized domestic policies that align to the broader objectives as set out in the Pacific Plan. This essay will look at the origins and the evolution of the Pacific Plan; what are the criticisms that have been leveled at the plan itself and the process of formulating the plan; and the impact that it has had on regionalism with a specific focus on whether the plan will bring about the stronger and deeper cooperation that has been forwarded as the impetus needed for the Forum Island Countries to be able to remain a viable part of the international trend of organizing into regional blocs in order to influence the global agenda.

Book Globalisation and Governance in the Pacific Islands

Download or read book Globalisation and Governance in the Pacific Islands written by Stewart Firth and published by ANU E Press. This book was released on 2006-12-01 with total page 436 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The Pacific Islands are feeling the effects of globalisation. Free trade in sugar and garments is threatening two of Fiji's key industries. At the same time other opportunities are emerging. Labour migration is growing in importance, and Pacific governments are calling for more access to Australia's labour market. Fiji has joined Samoa, Tonga, Tuvalu and Kiribati as a remittance economy, with thousands of its citizens working overseas. Meantime, Papua New Guinea and Solomon Islands grapple with an older kind of globalisation in which overseas companies exploit mineral and forest resources. The Pacific Islands confront unique problems of governance in this era of globalisation. The modern, democratic state often fits awkwardly with traditional ways of doing politics in that part of the world. Just as often, politicians in the Pacific exploit tradition or invent it to serve modern political purposes. The contributors to this volume examine Pacific globalisation and governance from a wide range of perspectives. They come from Papua New Guinea, Solomon Islands, Hawai'i, the Federated States of Micronesia, Samoa, Fiji, New Zealand and Jamaica as well as Australia."--Publisher's description.

Book Caribbean Integration    Lessons for the Pacific

Download or read book Caribbean Integration Lessons for the Pacific written by Robert Warner and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 14 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The members of the Pacific Islands Forum have recently considered a quite critical review of the Pacific Plan for strengthening regional cooperation and integration. The Caribbean Community (CARICOM), another grouping encompassing a number of small island developing states, has also been contemplating highly critical assessments of the nature of its approach to regionalism, and of the institutions that have been put in place to give effect to this approach. Are there lessons for the Pacific from the Caribbean experience? This article looks at aspects of the approaches to regionalism and economic integration adopted in the Caribbean, and considers parallels with the situation in the Pacific. It suggests that the CARICOM experience puts into question elements of the logic and overall approach to integration being pursued in both regions (and being urged by external partners).

Book The New Pacific Diplomacy

Download or read book The New Pacific Diplomacy written by Greg Fry and published by ANU Press. This book was released on 2015-12-17 with total page 327 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since 2009 there has been a fundamental shift in the way that the Pacific Island states engage with regional and world politics. The region has experienced, what Kiribati President Anote Tong has aptly called, a ‘paradigm shift’ in ideas about how Pacific diplomacy should be organised, and on what principles it should operate. Many leaders have called for a heightened Pacific voice in global affairs and a new commitment to establishing Pacific Island control of this diplomatic process. This change in thinking has been expressed in the establishment of new channels and arenas for Pacific diplomacy at the regional and global levels and new ways of connecting the two levels through active use of intermediate diplomatic associations. The New Pacific Diplomacy brings together a range of analyses and perspectives on these dramatic new developments in Pacific diplomacy at sub-regional, regional and global levels, and in the key sectors of global negotiation for Pacific states – fisheries, climate change, decolonisation, and trade.
