Abstract

(In)security in Pacific Island Countries and Territories (PICTs) has been subject to
neocolonialist framings of small, remote areas in ‘need of help’ from larger powers –
ideas that have been challenged by Pacific peoples who emphasise the vastness, global
significance and influence, connections, and strengths found in indigenous knowledge, relations and practices (Hau’ofa 2008). There is a need to reframe security in
PICTs to take into account contexts and interconnectedness, and encompasses human
and environmental security.
