***IICSEEHawaii2018 Conference Theme: "Surviving and Thriving: In Pursuit of a
Sustainable World"

Religious, cultural and societal fractures have seen rises in authoritarianism
and nationalism across the world, and threats and perceived threats have been
used to justify the stifling and marginalisation of voices of opposition and
dissent. Hard-won progress and freedoms are being questioned and undermined, and
questions of peace, security and human security abound. In this period of great
global social, economic, political and environmental instability, the future is
for many a place of great uncertainty and fear.

However, in any period of great change, and undoubted challenge, there is also a
great opportunity to harness and nurture these forces. The future is not yet
written, and the powerful heuristic of sustainability has become a reality in
many areas, where human creativity, imagination and technological advances have
helped to make the world a better place. From small individual initiatives
within families, communities and places of work, to the larger and more
long-term development initiatives of governments and supranational institutions,
exemplified by the UN’s 2030 goals, human resourcefulness is being used in
pursuit of the common goal of a sustainable world.

**The Local Context: Hawaii and the Pacific

Hawaii sits in the middle of the Asia Pacific region, between Asia and North
America. Its strategic significance was apparent to the indigenous peoples of
the Pacific islands before it attracted the attention of Pacific and Asian
traders, the European colonial powers, and then the United States, whose Pacific
fleet is based at Pearl Harbor, a location famously attacked by Japanese
imperial forces in 1941. Hawaii has experienced much upheaval and change
throughout its history, and offers an interesting context to studies at the
intersection of security and sustainability, as well as of the continued legacy
of colonisation, foreign and distant rule, and questions of ethnicity and
belonging, to include issues relating to challenging and preserving indigenous
knowledge, cultures and languages. The tropical climate and great natural beauty
of the Hawaiian islands and the surrounding seas, with their rich flora, fauna
and wildlife, have helped create a huge tourist industry that is very important
to the economy, but also threatens the environment, while the distance of the
islands from the United States and Asia raise questions of economic and
environmental sustainability.

We hope and expect the 2018 conference in Hawaii will bring together scholars
from around the world to exchange ideas, research and practice from their own
backgrounds and contexts, and to draw on and be inspired by the local and
international body of delegates from an expected 40 different national
backgrounds.

In conjunction with our Global Partners, including the University of Hawai'i at
Manoa, we look forward to extending you a warm welcome in 2018.
