ABOUT THIS EPISODE
After the Cold War, US interest in the Pacific Islands waned. Assistance to Pacific Islands declined, and the US closed its embassies and consular offices in several Pacific Islands. However, China’s presence and influence in the Pacific Islands has triggered renewed interest from Western powers and a new geopolitical competition.
In this episode, we speak with Prof. Kenneth Gofigan Kuper (University of Guam) about militarization and US strategy in Guåhan and the broader Micronesian subregion and with journalist Nic Maclellan about European and Australian engagement with Oceania.
