| Tiivistelmä: | Technology, development and possible futures in the Pacific islands /as distinct from the rim/ are examined. The emphasis is on the question of how far industrialization and application of modern technology as development model can be applied in small developing countries. The isolated and traditional islands are increasingly dependent on and disturbed by the internal and external effects of Western technology, particularly the threat of the greenhouse effect and sea-level rise. In spite of this concern, there has been little technology futures or "impact" thinking in the region. The findings of the article has relevance for developing island countries elsewhere. |
