The Pacific region is complex, colored by colonial legacies, Cold War nuclear testing and climate change impacts. But it is also a region with its own internal local and regional geopolitical perspectives, long history that far predates European, American, or Chinese interactions and a legacy of adaptation. In this Applied Geopolitics episode, RANE’s Executive Director of the Stratfor Center of Geopolitics, Rodger Baker, speaks with Dr. Tarcisius Kabutaulaka, Assistant Professor at the Center for Pacific Island Studies, University of Hawaii at Manoa, on the local, regional and external dynamics of the pacific island region, and the ways that these dynamics are further complicated by geopolitical competition, climate change and colonialism.
