Anthony Giddens has noted that talk about globalization "has come from nowhere to be almost everywhere" in recent years (1999, 1). This is hardly surprising considering the profound effects of the transnational flows of capital, people, and ideas at the heart of the globalization process. Global flows increasingly determine economic conditions for individuals and communities everywhere, as well as shape the contours of their social and political lives. This collection examines some important implications of globalization in the Pacific Islands, with particular reference to its Asian dimensions. It does so through a case study of the Republic of Palau which provides a striking microcosm of some of the economic, cultural, social, and political dynamics that increasingly characterize the contemporary era in the Pacific and elsewhere.
