Insights into the 'Betweenness' of Island Spaces (Godfrey Baldacchino) -- Construction of the Artificial Island of Hulhumalé as a Climate Change Adaptation Measure in the Maldives (Akiko Sakamoto, Aishath Laila, Mariyam Areesha Ahmed, Daisuke Sasaki, Miko Maekawa, Ahmed Aslam, and Mikiyasu Nakayama) -- Baseco Compound: The River Island of Contestation, Despair, and Hope in the Philippines (Joefe B. Santarita and Godfrey Baldacchino) -- From Island to Island: Sri Lankans' Settlement Model(s) in the Three Main Cities of Sicily, Southern Italy (Francesca Bitonti, Federico Benassi, Angelo Mazza, Salvatore Strozza, and Luigi Scrofani) -- Countermeasures to Climate Insecurity of Asia-Pacific Island Countries:Out-migration and Adaptation Options (Juha I. Uitto, Mikiyasu Nakayama, Carl Bruch, Miko Maekawa, and Akiko Sakamoto) -- Illegal Korean Immigrants in Island(ed) Detention Camps and Enduring Colonial Sovereignty: The Case of Sasebo, Japan, under U.S. Occupation (Taku Fukumoto) -- Developing Border Tourism for the Sustainability of Border Island:The Case of Tsushima Island in Japan (Yasunori Hanamatsu) -- Dual Militarization of the Pacific Island: Continuing Colonial Transformation of Okinawa, Japan (Takashi Yamazaki) -- Militarized Territoriality: Water Contamination and Military Operations in the Pacific (Tatsuki Kohatsu).

This book provides a powerful picture of the significance and centrality of islands in the Indo-Pacific region in the 21st century, far from an easily assumed benign peripherality and invisibility. It consists of nine chapters and examines four major challenges facing island societies, namely 'aggressive environmental adaptation,' 'outmigration,' 'island borders,' and 'military fortification.' The book relationally details how island geographies in the Indo-Pacific region become an assemblage of environmental, social, and political dynamics. Throughout these chapters, the book aims to renew the mainland/continental perspective that tends to marginalize islands in the larger society, to expand awareness of the significance of islands in the world. The book also contributes to the construction of world peace extended from peace on islands. This book is the outcome of the International Geographical Union (IGU) Thematic Conference 'Islands in Relations: Conflicts, Sustainability, and Peace' at Osaka Metropolitan University in 2023, with support from the Association of Japanese Geographers and other academic organizations. The conference aimed, and this book attempts, to reconsider the environmental, social, economic, and political relationships among the islands of the world, especially in the Indo-Pacific region, by focusing on their relations with the mainland, neighboring continents, and other islands at the bigger scale, and to identify factors that cause (and avoid) conflicts over islands, conditions for islands' environmental and economic sustainability, and ways to build 'peace' in the maritime and coastal areas surrounding the islands. The book is a valuable resource for geographers, island scholars, other scientists, university students, teachers, policymakers, NGOs, other practitioners, and the public worldwide who find the book topics informative, insightful, and valuable.
