“Through Island Voices, we will now be able to feature interviews conducted by staff, fellows and members regularly on the Islands Society web site,” adds Keiko Ono, Executive Director of Regional Societies the Islands Society. “These interviews promise to stimulate a more informed discourse on the relationship between insular affairs and global policy topics, including diversity, international law, international security, public diplomacy and environmental sustainability.”

With the introduction of Island Voices, the Islands Society now hosts two blogs on its website. While Island Voices will feature regular interviews with senior policymakers on policy issues impacting islanders, The Islander will continue to provide expert commentary and analysis on the most important policy issues for islanders around the world.
