  • Coral and Concrete: Remembering Kwajalein Atoll Between Japan, America, and the Marshall Islands
    Coral and Concrete: Remembering Kwajalein Atoll between Japan, America, and the Marshall Islands Reviewed by MARY L. SPENCER Coral and Concrete: Remembering Kwajalein Atoll; Between Japan, America, and the Marshall Islands, by Greg Dvorak. Honolulu, HI: University of Hawaiʻi Press, 2018. ISBN: 9780824855215, 314 pages (hardcover). Since my first experience in the early 1980’s with the Republic of the Marshall Islands (RMI), I’ve been stunned by the irony of the ignorance of the average American – including myself - regarding RMI relative to the actual significance of this complex portion of the Micronesian Region to US interests. Now, closing in on almost 75 years since the end of a world war that brought the US and Japan into savage combat in this constellation of hundreds of small islets and islands, RMI continues to quietly move forward, coping in its own culturally determined ways with the hideous impacts of the atomic and environmental assaults generated by the far larger, noisier powers. Today, RMI reaches its own decisions about how to cope with the challenges coming its way. Greg Dvorak, who grew up as an American kid living in the seclusion of the heavily fortified American missile range on Kwajalein Atoll in the RMI in the early 1970’s, opens his childhood memories, as well as his current academic analysis, of this special and secret Pacific Island preserve of the US military. Coral and Concrete is worth the attention of students and scholars of Micronesia and other Pacific Islands, and for the majority of the US reading public who have not heard of Kwajalein nor even the Marshall Islands.

    Small States & Territories, 3(2), 2020, pp. 261-266 GUEST EDITORIAL INTRODUCTION Gender, politics and development in the small states of the Pacific Kerryn Baker Department of Pacific Affairs Australian National University Canberra, Australia [email protected] Roannie Ng Shiu Department of Pacific Affairs Australian National University Canberra, Australia [email protected] and Jack Corbett School of Social Sciences University of Southampton U. K. [email protected] Abstract: Gender has been a key focus of donor activism, domestic politics and academic commentary in the Pacific region over recent decades. The prevailing narrative highlights deficits, including the persistent absence of women from formal political representation, and the adverse consequences for economic and social development. This special section draws together papers that explore the nexus between gender, politics and development in the small states of the Pacific. Taken together, all the papers highlight the enduring need for a gendered lens in the study of politics and development in the region and beyond, while also complicating the deficit narrative by illustrating how gender relations are changing rapidly. In doing so the contributions reveal gaps and disjuncture in existing theoretical debates. Keywords: deficit narrative, development, equality, gender, Pacific politics, small states, social change © 2020 – Islands and Small States Institute, University of Malta, Malta. Introduction This special section of Small States & Territories 3(2), 2020, explores the nexus of gender, politics and development in the small states of the Pacific. The worlds of politics and development have always been gendered spaces, defined by male leadership and masculinised norms of behaviour.

Hon. Johathan Curr (New Zealand High Commissioner), Hon. Ministers, Mr. Sheldon Yett (UNICEF Pacific Representative & ECD Pacific Secretariat), Dr. Micheal Samson (Director of Research Economic Policy, Research Institute), distinguished guests, ladies and gentlemen. Let me begin by extending warm greetings of Iakwe from President David Kabua and the people of the Republic of the Marshall Islands. 2. I also take this opportunity to thank the organizing committee for allowing RMI to speak at this Pacific Regional Council for Early Childhood Development (PR4ECD) meeting, to share recent achievements and challenges on ECD in the RMI- Kommol tata! 3. While the Marshall Islands is making steady progress to rolling out our Early Childhood Development plan, we recognize that much more needs to be done. The Multi-Sectoral Approach to ECD has both highs and lows. The positive side is that we all need to work together and consider the holistic needs of children and their families. The challenge is that the coordination necessary for success is slow moving. Inonoki bwe en Didbōlbōl, our nation's ECD slogan, loosely defined in English as ‘nurturing our children to flourish’. 4. Translating this slogan into action, we have demonstrated our commitment by setting our initial goals around policy reforms, bottom up approach to the 1 development of our curriculum framework, legislative reviews, harmonization of resources and strategies, costing analysis, classroom and health facilities upgrade and renovation, and the design work for a Conditional Cash Transfer (CCT) pilot program for vulnerable families with young children.

    Small States & Territories, 3(2), 2020, pp. 339-358 Being the President: Hilda Heine, Gender and Political Leadership in the Marshall Islands John Cox School of Humanities and Social Sciences La Trobe University Australia [email protected] Jack Corbett School of Social Sciences University of Southampton U, K. [email protected] and Ceridwen Spark School of Global, Urban and Social Studies RMIT University Australia [email protected] Abstract: The literature on gender and democratic politics in the Pacific Islands is dominated by a deficit model that seeks to explain the dearth of women candidates, of MPs and of women holding senior political positions. A small body of recent scholarship has focused on the experience of a select few women who have defied the odds to win high office. Specifically, this work has focused on the strategies that women leaders employ to win election in male dominated environments. This article extends these studies by focusing on how women govern and lead. Drawing on interviews with President Hilda Heine, the first and only woman elected head of state in a small Pacific Island country, her staff and network of supporters, we outline seven strategies for women politicians. Documenting these strategies serves three distinct purposes: 1) they add to our understanding of how Pacific women leaders undertake intentional action to shape male dominated environments; 2) they contain important primary source material that adds to the historical archive of this period in Marshallese politics; and 3) they inform efforts by reformers, including international donors, aiming to equip women leaders to serve in senior positions, both in Marshall Islands and the wider Pacific island region.
