ISISA INTERNATIONAL SMALL ISLANDS STUDIES ASSOCIATION ISLANDS V Small islands in the third millennium Problems and prospects of island living Mauritius 1 to 5 July 1998
ISISA is a voluntary, non-profit and independent organisation, the objectives of which are to study islands on their own terms, and to encourage free scholarly discussion on small island related matters such as islandness, smallness, insularity, dependency, resource management and environment, and the nature of island life. These objectives are pursued by encouraging the networking of small island communities through international communication systems, such as newsletters, journals and the holding of periodic, multi-disciplinary conferences, employing appropriate technologies to achieve these ends.
ISISA was officially established at the Islands IV conference on Okinawa, following previous meetings on Victoria (1986), Tasmania (1988) and Nassau (1992) islands.
ISLANDS OF THE WORLD V CONFERENCE is to be held in Mauritius, 1-5 July 1998, sponsored locally by the University of Mauritius, the Mauritius Institute of Education, Mahatma Gandhi Institute and the Tertiary Education Commission. Internationally, the United Nations Environment Programme and INSULA, the International Scientific Council for Island Development are co-sponsors.
The major theme is:
Small Islands in the Third Millennium - Problems and prospects of island living
There will be Sessions, Symposia and Workshops for which contributions are invited.
