Abstract

This article focuses on the greatest power that currently exists in the Western Pacific: the United States, and on one element of its changing strategy, aimed at solving the uncertain situation it faces on the other side of the Pacific. Specifically, it looks at US efforts to support such a strategy by shaping the political future of a key Pacific territory, which is under its administration: those parts of Micronesia that constitute the Trust Territory of the Pacific Islands (TTPI). In addition, it describes the Micronesian reaction to the policy followed by the United States and the dilemmas that both sides face and that, if not resolved, could create a serious international problem.
