Description

The Pacific region is growing in worldwide importance in terms of politics, economics, and culture. The emergence of this area of the world provides an opportunity for new directions in social studies education. This book addresses the Pacific Rim issues from the viewpoints of educators from 9 Pacific nations: Australia, Canada, Fiji, Japan, Malaysia, People's Republic of China, Philippines, South Korea, and the United States. The book is divided into three sections: policy issues, curriculum issues, and classroom activities; each section is followed by an evaluative commentary on the section. The book contains 24 papers.
