Problems of the Pacific

"Problems of the Pacific" presents a comprehensive record of the proceedings from the second conference of the Institute of Pacific Relations, held in Honolulu in July 1927. This volume offers an invaluable historical lens into the complex geopolitical, economic, and social dynamics of the Pacific Rim during the interwar period. Edited by J.B. Condliffe, the work compiles expert discussions and papers addressing a wide array of critical issues, including migration, food supply, land utilization, and the industrialization of the Far East.
