This book aims to clarify the present situation of the relations
between small island countries and territories on the one hand and
the great powers, mainland areas, and mega-islands on the other,
and explores how small island countries and territories preserve
and build their identity under globalization. This book is divided
into five parts. The first part presents papers on issues that are
related to Okinawa: the American military presence, the formation
of a global human network, and the history of and language
revitalization in Okinawa. The second part includes papers on
security in East Asia and the Pacific Region: the history of and
present issues in international relations within the South and East
China Sea areas. The third part presents papers on economic issues
and social developments on small islands. The fourth part deals
with ocean policies and marine resource management in the Pacific
Region by the United States, Australia, and Japan. Finally, the
fifth part presents papers on the revitalization of three
indigenous languages. All the chapters of the book are based on the
achievements of the research project "Towards New Island Studies:
The Ryukyus as an academic node between East Asia and Oceania"
conducted by the International Institute for Okinawan Studies at
the University of the Ryukyus. This 5-year project was funded by
the Japanese Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and
Technology and aimed to contribute academically to the creation of
sustainable and self-determinable societies in small island
regions. This work will be extremely useful and informative for
readers in small island countries and territories and for
researchers who are interested in small island issues to understand
the current situation and who wish to consider effectual and
feasible solutions.
