New Delhi Shhalaj Publishing House 2024. 228 pages This book provides rigorous insights and analysis through an interdisciplinary approach by passionate researchers and academics in the related areas of media, conflict, peacebuilding, and development in the Pacific, a region in the throes of rapid change. Besides a serious review of previous publications that have either directly or indirectly touched upon the subject matter, the nine chapters draw on recent geopolitical shifts and developments in the Pacific to provide fresh perspectives and insights into the current issues at stake. As a region undergoing rapid transformation, the Pacific's complexities are unravelled with precision and depth. The focus is appropriate: not only is sustainable peace and stability elusive, but its absence also impedes long term development.
