Introduction to Marshall Islands
The Marshall Islands is a small island nation located in the Pacific Ocean. It is composed of 29 coral atolls and 5 islands, and covers a total land area of just over 70 square miles. Despite its small size, the Marshall Islands has a rich history and played a significant role in global events during the 20th century. The islands were first inhabited by indigenous people over 2,000 years ago, and were later colonized by Spain, Germany, and Japan. During World War II, the Marshall Islands were the site of several major battles between the United States and Japan, including the notorious Battle of Kwajalein. After the war, the islands became a trust territory of the United States, and in 1986 they gained full independence as the Republic of the Marshall Islands. Today, the Marshall Islands is a democracy with a unique culture and a strong connection to the ocean that surrounds it.

Globalization, International Education Policy and Local Policy Formation
This edited volume focuses on how international education policy, set by international policymakers and donors, influences local education policy in developing countries. The book’s primary purpose is to give voice to scholars from developing countries and regions around the world by inviting them to explore how the international policy, invariably linked to international aid, influences education policy formation and implementation in their country or region and how this influence does or does not meet the local cultural, social, economic, and political needs.

Life in the Republic of the Marshall Islands
"A joint publication with the USP Centre in Majuro, this book recounts peopleOs experiences and reflections on life in their country. Among the accounts are chapters dealing with specific legends and traditions, memories of growing up in the Marshals, and more contemporary issues such as off-island adoption and the ongoing struggle of Rongelap survivors."--Publisher's description.
Transparency to the People
The publication tells the story of the use of stakeholder participation to support public sector reform in Nauru and the Republic of the Marshall Islands (RMI). The report provides important lessons for donor agencies, for Nauru and the RMI, and for other Pacific island nations that mainly live off aid and other rents. The lessons concern what has gone wrong with governance and why, and what can be done to improve governance under existing conditions. The three pilot projects described show that by taking transparency directly to the people, donors can help create more favorable conditions under which local citizens themselves can more readily press for reform. Whether the modest gains achieved in the pilot projects will prevail remains to be seen, but in all three cases, the future looks more promising than the past.
