The United States and Japan in the Western Pacific: Micronesia and Papua New Guinea

Westview Replica Editions

This book is a Westview Replica Edition. The concept of Replica Editions is a response to the crisis in academic and informational publishing. Library budgets for books have been severely curtailed; economic pressures on the university presses and the few private publishing companies primarily interested in scholarly manuscripts have severely limited the capacity of the industry to properly serve the academic and research communities. Many manuscripts dealing with important subjects, often representing the highest level of scholarship, are today not economically viable publishing projects. Or, if they are accepted for publication, they are often subject to lead times ranging from one to three years. Scholars are understandably frustrated when they realize that their first-class research cannot be published within a reasonable time frame, if at all.

Westview Replica Editions are our practical solution to the problem. The concept is simple. We accept a manuscript in camera-ready form and move it immediately into the production process. The responsibility for textual and copy editing lies with the author or sponsoring organization. If necessary we will advise the author on proper preparation of footnotes and bibliography. We prefer that the manuscript be typed according to our specifications, though it may be acceptable as typed for a dissertation or prepared in some other clearly organized and readable way. The end result is a book produced by lithography and bound in hard covers. Initial edition sizes range from 600 to 800 copies, and a number of recent Replicas are already in second printings. We include among Westview Replica Editions only works of outstanding scholarly quality or of great informational value, and we will continue to exercise our usual editorial standards and quality control.

The United States and Japan in the Western Pacific: Micronesia and Papua New Guinea

edited by Grant K. Goodman and Felix Moos

The interrelationships of the United States and Japan with Micronesia, a U.S. dependency, and Papua New Guinea, a newly independent nation, are the focus of this study. The authors demonstrate that dependence does not by any means automatically terminate by virtue of a legal change in political status. To a surprising extent, Micronesia (the last UN trusteeship) and independent Papua New Guinea depend for their very survival on the United States and Japan.

The authors point out that the interests of the United States and Japan in this region too oftenand unnecessarilyoperate in isolation from one another and in direct conflict. Cooperative U.S.-Japanese efforts are vital in this area; whatever plans are made for the region, they must be island-specific, culturally congruent, politically sensitive, and economically viable.

Grant Goodman is professor of history and Felix Moos is professor of anthropology and East Asian languages and cultures, both at the University of Kansas. The contributing authors also include Robert Fluker (School of Business), Carl Lande (Department of Political Science), Nobleza Asuncion-Lande (Department of Speech Communications), and Chae-jin Lee (Department of Political Science), all at the University of Kansas.

Guide

The research for and the writing of this volume were done in 1977 and 1978. Since that time important political changes have occurred in both Micronesia and Papua New Guinea. Since it is obviously impossible for the authors to provide a running account of current events, most of these subsequent developments are not recorded here. However, none of the altered political or economic circumstances in Micronesia or Papua New Guinea have significantly affected the major concerns or conclusions of this work.

The Editors

This volume represents a thirty months collaborative multidisciplinary study by members of the faculty of the University of Kansas. The work was funded by the Rockefeller Foundation and by the Sumitomo Fund administered by the Japan Society of New York. All of the contributing researchers hereby acknowledge that very generous support of this study. It should be noted, however, that the funding agencies bear no responsibility whatever for the material contained in this book. The contributors themselves assume that burden.

Prof. Felix Moos acted as the director of the project. Primary research and writing responsibility for the various chapters were as follows: 1. Introduction : Mr. Fluker and Profs. Goodman and Moos; II. An Historical Overview: Micronesia and Papua New Guinea : Profs. Moos, C. Lande and N. Asuncion-Lande; III. Micronesia Under American Rule, 19441978: Change and Persistence : Profs. Moos and Goodman; IV. Papua New Guinea Under Australian Rule and After: The Shock of Independence : Profs. C. Lande and N. Asuncion-Lande; V. Papua New Guinea: Issues and Policies in Economic Development : Profs. C. Lande and N. Asuncion-Lande; VI. Micronesia: Issues and Policies in Economic Development : Mr. Fluker and Prof. Moos; VII. Japanese Policies and Perspectives in Micronesia and Papua New Guinea : Profs. Lee and Goodman; VIII. Conclusion : Profs. Goodman and Moos. The general editors were Profs. Goodman and Moos, who must assume the primary responsibilities for the specific orientation and the overall tone of the document.

In Micronesia we wish to thank the many Micronesians in the villages and the district centers far too numerous to mention individually. Those whose assistance was essential include: Leo Falcam of the Congress of Micronesia, Washington Office; Sadang Silmai, Speaker of the Legislative Assembly, Palau District; Katherine Kesolei, Executive Director, Palau Community Action Agency; the District Administrations of Palau, Yap, Marianas and Truk; Father Francis Hazel of Xavier High School, Truk; the Commanders of COMNAVMARIANAS in Guam, past and present, but especially Rear Admiral G. S. Morrison, USN ret.
