Without effective local participation and partnership, these extremely imposed frameworks miss out on millennia of local observation and understanding and seldom deliver viable and sustained environmental, cultural and economic benefits at the local level.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis collection argues that environmental sustainability, indigenous political empowerment and economic viability will succeed only by taking account of distinct local contexts and cultures. In this regard, these Pacific indigenous case studies offer 'islands of hope' for all communities marginalised by increasingly intrusive-and increasingly rapid-technological changes and by global dietary, economic, political and military forces with whom they have no direct contact or influence.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Paul D'Arcy\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1760465615\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781760465612\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Australian National University, Research Scho\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/25\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 464\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.91lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 1.26d","brand":"Paul D'Arcy","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44120972755199,"sku":"9781760465612","price":45.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_082f69dd-03e8-4ab9-bb65-5e94c90b1b58.jpg?v=1687417311","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/islands-of-hope-paul-darcy-9781760465612","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
