Abstract: In 1983, Micronesia successfully carried out an election on the Compact of Free Association
with the United States. In this book two scholars, who observed how Palau, the Federated
States of Micronesia, and the Marshall Islands overcame their difficulties, analyze the social,
economic, and strategic implications of this historic event.
