| Abstract: | Pacific power? provides an engaging and comprehensive account of Australia’s strategic engagement with Pacific island nations. The strength of the book lies in its rich and detailed historical analysis: Wallis traces key events that mark this engagement, from the nineteenth century to the present day. The book attempts to explain why Australia’s preponderant power has not always translated into strategic influence in the Pacific Islands. Specifically, the author asks: why have the Pacific Islands been able to resist or limit Australia’s influence, despite their power disparities? |
