Abstract

The Contemporary Pacific 26:170­177. mv, with macro-level political, economic, and environmental concerns. These tensions were perhaps most apparent in the Marshall Islands' ongoing lawsuit against the United States and eight other nuclear-armed nations, top leaders' vocal participation in global climate-change discussions, several controversial government expenditures and continuing financial mismanagement, less-than-desirable rankings on several regional and international reports, and increasing outmigration. That said, government leaders, nongovernmental organizations, educational institutions, and private citizens made noteworthy efforts to address these issues through governmental and institutional policy, direct action, and participation in local, regional, and international organizations. Meanwhile, the run-up to the 2015 election kicked off in September 2014, with local and national elections scheduled for the third Monday in November-- recently designated a national holiday by the Nitije (Parliament).
