- Summary:
-
"The Japanese, and other Asians, are increasingly taking over some of the roles previously played by Europeans in the Pacific islands, which is giving rise to interesting new economic relationships, and interesting new interactions between nationalities. This book considers the role of the Japanese in the Solomon Islands, focusing in particular on Solomon Taiyo Ltd, a joint venture between the Japanese multinational Maruha Corporation and the Solomon Islands government, which managed a tuna-fishing and -processing enterprise which was a mainstay of the Solomon Islands economy from the 1970s to 2000."--BOOK JACKET.
