Synopsis

A groundbreaking, must-read account of one of democracy's most remarkable logistical triumphs, where election experts Austin Ranney and Howard Penniman chronicle how Palau, the Federated States of Micronesia, and the Marshall Islands overcame vast geographic isolation to hold free and fair plebiscites on the Compact of Free Association with the United States, an essential case study for anyone interested in election studies, island nations, Pacific politics, and the strategic and economic stakes of democratic self-determination in the modern era.
