U.S., Pacific NationsS0ign Trade Agreement

he United States and 13 Pacific Islandnations signed an agreement at the

East-West Center in January to establish ajoint commercial trade commission.The agreement, meant to promote

mutually beneficial commercial and eco-nomic relations, was first proposed bythen-U.S. President George Bush at theCenter during an October 1990 Summitwith Pacific Island leaders.Bush hailed the joint commercial com-

mission as an "ideal forum for encourag-ing increased commercial links betweenthe private sectors of our countries."EWC President Miche! Oksenberg said

it was "particularly fitting that the agree-ment was signed at the Center, where theidea for a joint commercial commissionwas formulated."The commission is responsible for

fostering private sector initiatives andpractices, developing opportunities for ex-

panding trade and investment in goodsand services, providing technical assistanceand training, and promoting the involve-ment of U.S. businesses.

Pacific signatories were the Cook Is-lands, Federated States of Micronesia, Fiji,Kiribati, Marshall Islands, Nauru, Niue,Papua New Guinea, Solomon Islands,Tonga, Tuvalu, Vanuatu and WesternSamoa.

Prime Minister Sir Geoffrey Henry ofthe Cook Islands, who headed the PacificIslands delegation, said Pacific Islandnations are looking at transfers of technol-ogy and want to improve the competitive-ness of their products in U.S. markets. Hesaid the agreement would help Pacific Is-land nations develop their economies "in away that ensures each can participate inthe development process in our own wayand at our own level."Michael Owens, director of the State

Department's Office of Pacific Island Af-fairs, signed for the United States. Owenssaid the agreement "constitutes a commit-ment on the part of the U.S. governmentto have periodic consultations with islandcountries on matters affecting trade, in-vestment or the broad range of our com-mercial relationships." He said PacificIsland governments now have "guaranteedaccess to the range of U.S. governmentagencies involved in trade and commerce."Two teams comprise the joint commer-

cial commission. The U.S. team will beheaded by the U.S. assistant secretary forcommerce for international economic pol-icy. The Pacific chairman has yet to bechosen. The East-West Center's PacificIslands Development Program will provideresearch and other support for the Pacificteam's activities.

address entitled, "Stand for Something, orFall for Anything?'

Center President Michel Oksenberg setthe tone for the gathering, saying thatKing's struggle to promote peace, justice,non-violence, human rights and racialequality made him 'America's voice ofconscience?' Oksenberg said King's visionhas acquired "added urgency" today, andthat "in this chaotic world, the distinctivechallenge of the Center was to become abeacon of enlightenment" dedicated to thesame principles as Dr. King.

Robinson, a noted authority on African-American folklore, history and the arts,stressed the importance of cultural rela-tions and education in her talk, saying,'As the United States begins to move intoAsia, let it not just learn language andlearn economics and learn engineering.Let's get a cultural understanding of thosewe will be dealing with?' She said, "Weneed to get out of that attitude of not be-ing able to tell a Japanese from a Korean,from a Chinese from a Solomon Islander?'Robinson said if Americans are going to

compete in the world on a global level "itmeans that we have to be properly edu-cated. It means that we can't just sit nextto each other and take notes. We've got toturn around, start talking more, startlearning how to pronounce names, startlearning more about the histories that aregoing on around us, and start acknowl-edging the fact that if we don't stand forsomething, we'll fall for anything?'

Robinson is associate director of theJames E. Coleman African Studies Centerat UCLA. She the author of more than 30published articles and reviews and hasdirected or acted in dozens of stageproductions and motion pictures, includ-ing the 1987 film, The Color Purple.

Four offices now report directly to theEWC president. They are the Office ofAdministration, under Executive VicePresident Kenji Sumida; the Office ofResearch and Education, under Vice Presi-dent Bruce Koppel; the Office of Public

Programs, under Director Webster K. No-lan, and the Office of Program Develop-ment, under Vice President Lee-Jay Cho,who is on special assignment to develop aprogram on Northeast Asia relations andeconomic development.The research programs and their direc-

tors are: Cultural Studies, under GeoffreyWhite; Environment, under A. Terry Ram-bo; International Economics and Politicsunder Charles E. Morrison; Population,under Andrew Mason; Pacific IslandsDevelopment, under Sitiveni Halapua;Resources: Energy and Minerals, underFereidun Fesharaki; and Journalism andCommunication, under Richard Halloran.The Office of Research and Education

includes the Program on Education andTraining. The latter comprises the Center'sestablished graduate education programheaded by Dean Sarah Miyahira and LarryE. Smith; teacher training on Asia and thePacific for kindergarten through 12thgrade headed by David Grossman; semi-nars on intercultural relations and under-standing headed by Richard Brislin; andfaculty and undergraduate curriculum de-velopment for American colleges anduniversities and an Asian studies programfor professors and students from Americancolleges and universities with large minori-ty enrollments, both headed by ElizabethBuck.

Elisa Johnston has been named editorof a newly established Center-wide Publi-cations Section to develop a series of pub-lications geared to the needs of policy-makers and opinion leaders. The section isunder the Office of Public Programs.

TheEast-West Center's Board of Gover-

nors has allocated $1 million in fiscal1994 to expand three recently establishededucational programs that provide scholar-ships and fellowships for students fromIndochina and the Pacific Islands and forfaculty and students from American col-leges and universities with substantial en-rollments of African Americans, LatinoAmericans and Native Americans.

At its January 29 meeting, the boardincreased the funding from the current$300,000 and directed that program lead-ers secure matching funds.

Students from developing countries suchas Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos as wellas the Pacific Islands need more access tothe distinctive educational experienceavailable at the Center and the Universityof Hawaii, EWC President Michel Oksen-berg said. Equally important, he said, isbringing minority faculty and studentsfrom the United States, not only to pro-vide them with the educational opportuni-ties here but also to enable Asian andPacific students to interact with a fullrange of American ethnic groups.With these initiatives, the board reem-

phasized the original goals of the EWC totrain both undergraduates and graduatesand to meet the needs of the countriesthat the Center is mandated to serve.

Seven agricultural researchers from Laosare the first participants in the new Indo-china student program. The students,members of the professional staff of theLaos National Agricultural ResearchCenter, have begun a special 17-weektraining course at the University of HawaiiCollege of Tropical Agriculture and Hu-man Resources.New Pacific Island students at the

Center include two Cook Islanders study-ing tropical agriculture at the University ofHawaii, a Fijian studying communicationsand working at KHPR Hawaii Public Ra-dio, a Tuvaluan studying financial ad-ministration in Washington, D.C., aSolomon Islander undergoing training atthe UH School of Tourist IndustryManagement, and a Tongan enrolled incomputer sciences at the University ofHawaii. Three other Tongan students willdo virus research on Maui, at the Univer-sity of Hawaii and at Cornell Universitylater this year.

CNN's Impact on Asia

InAugust of 1991, during the attempted

coup in Moscow, the new U.S. Ambas-sador to China presented his credentials tothe Chinese president and then asked himwhat he thought about the events unfold-ing in Moscow. "It's difficult to say;' thepresident replied. 'All I know is what I'veseen on CNN?'

In its 12 years of existence, CNN, orCable News Network, has had a tremen-dous impact on Asia, according to CNN

Lewis said more and more Asian leadersare going on CNN when they have some-thing important to say. In December of1992, for example, Indian Prime MinisterRao made his first comments on the reli-gious violence in his country in an exclu-sive interview with CNN. Other leaderswho have used CNN as a forum includeJapanese Prime Minister Kiichi Miyazawa,former South Korean President Roh TaeWoo, Fidel Ramos of the Philippines,Thailand's new premier and even membersof Burma's ruling junta.

a common challenge: mass tourism. Henoted that although mass tourism nega-tively impacts the native cultures it ex-ploits and depends on, the industry doesnot believe it has a moral responsibility topreserve those cultures. To capture the at-tention of industry leaders, Kanahele hashad to demonstrate not only the socialvalue of cultural tourism but its economicvalue.He tells managers that what makes

Hawaii unique and gives it its competitiveadvantage in the marketplace is its"Hawaiianness?' Hawaii's multiethnicpopulation, its spectacular scenery as wellas its sun, sand and surf are all thingsthat are available at many other placesaround the world, he said.Kanahele stressed the importance of the

relationship between place and tourism."By place I do not mean just locatedspace, but located experience;' he said."Think of a place as a container of all thethings that have happened there over time.It has its own walrua or mana or spirit.

This is why places, especially sacredplaces . . . can evoke in all of us powerfulfeelings, memories, images?'Kanahele said if managers and em-

ployees understand the power of places,they could help their guests have a better"feel" for a place and help to protect andnurture its cultural and historical assets.Another key to cultural tourism is that

guests and hosts must be equal, Kanahelesaid. "I don't know of any native culturethat interprets hospitality as a one-waystreet. Cultural tourism, not to mentionecorourism, will never happen as long asthe host people are treated as objects ofinferiority."Kanahele said tour, travel or hotel com-

pany managers must be willing to learnabout the native culture, its people andhistory if cultural tourism is going towork. He said he also believes it is essen-tial to integrate appropriate Hawaiianvalues such as aloha (love, caring) andho'okipa (hospitality) into the hotel andresort management systems.

Tokyo bureau chief John Lewis. Lewis toldthe coup anecdote during a talk at the25th Anniversary conference of the East-West Center's Jefferson Fellowships, ajournalism exchange program that bringsAsian, Pacific and U.S. print and broad-cast journalists together for 10 weeks ofstudy and travel.

Lewis said CNN has become a criticalalternative in regions where local bureau-crats often provide limited, incomplete orheavily censored news for their own cul-tural, political or economic reasons. Moreimportantly, he said, CNN has made adifference in the way governments move,in the way policymakers reach decisionsand in the way people in the region viewthemselves and the rest of the world.He noted that in May of 1992, Bangkok

television was not reporting the military'sattempt to supress pro-democracy demon-strations. CNN was. Lewis said some Thaiofficials reported that CNN's coverage wasone of the reasons the king ordered thegenerals to pull their troops off the street.

really done two things;' Lewis said. "It haschanged the definition of news from 'whathappened' to 'what is happening' . . . andit has erased the invisible boundaries thatfor so long divided people and the flow ofinformation."

Keeper of the Culture

he tourism industry has a moralresponsibility to preserve and nur-

ture native cultures in destination areaswhere their arts and crafts, customs andhistoric sites are marketed, sold or exploit-ed for commercial ends;' said Hawaiianscholar George S. Kanahele.

Kanahele, author of Ku Kanaka-StandTall, A Search for Hawaiian Values, deli-vered a keynote address on cultural tour-ism at an East-West Center Associationconference in Auckland, New Zealand.The conference, which was attended bymore than 250 people from 16 countries,focused on developing strategies forpromoting tourism while preserving tradi-tional cultures and protecting unique en-vironmental resources.

Since the mid-1980s, Kanahele has beendesigning programs to introduce Hawaiianvalues and customs into Hawaii hotels. Hefirst implemented the process at theKaanapali Beach Hotel on Maui, a431-room operation with 280 employees.Today, the hotel is recognized in the in-dustry as "the most Hawaiian hotel in thestate-and also one of the most profit-able;' Kanahele said.

In 1987, the Hawaii State Legislature,impressed with the results at Kaanapali,asked Kanahele if he could replicate theprocess at other hotels and resorts. Theresult was "Project Tourism: Keeper of theCulture?'Kanahele said cultural tourism and
