With case studies on Fiji, Tonga, Solomon Islands
From Clive Moore:
I have attached the
Solomons chapter and the whole Bibliography, as there are no detailed
references for individual chapters.
Contested Terrain
provides a cutting-edge, comprehensive and innovative approach to
critically analysing the multidimensional and contested nature of
security narratives, justified by different ideological, political,
cultural and economic rationales. This is important in a complex and
ever-changing situation involving a dynamic interplay between local,
regional and global factors. Security narratives are constructed in
multiple ways and are used to frame our responses to the challenges and
threats to our sense of safety, wellbeing, identity and survival but how
the narratives are constructed is a matter of intellectual and
political contestation. Using three case studies from the Pacific (Fiji,
Tonga and Solomon Islands), Contested Terrain
shows the different security challenges facing each country, which
result from their unique historical, political and socio-cultural
circumstances. Contrary to the view that the Pacific is a generic entity
with common security issues, this book argues for more localised and
nuanced approaches to security framing and analysis.
