Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

"Beginning from 1972, the book covers the negotiations leading to the signing of the covenant that established the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands in 1975, with a concluding chapter on the last twenty-five years. Willens and Siemer, both lawyers, were deeply involved in the negotiation process, and offer an evenhanded treatment of the issues, the characters of the various negotiators, and the positions taken on both sides. The result is a readable account of this very significant chapter in Micronesian history."

Reseña del editor:

In 1975, after three centuries of colonial rule, the people of the Northern Marianas exercised their right of self-determination to become US citizens in a self-governing commonwealth under U.S. sovereignty. This title is an account of their tenacious efforts to shape a political future separate from other Micronesian peoples, of the negotiations that produced the Covenant defining the commonwealth relationship, and its eventual approval by the Northern Marianas people and the US Congress.
