End of Oceania Day

This summer we were treated to a very special series here on Coming Anarchy: Oceania Day. Each week our guest bloggers the strategist and Phil Howison from Pacific Empire would school us on what is going on in the south pacific. We learned about the various regions, cultures, security issues and the activities of China in the region. The series started in mid-June and finished at the end of August.

I would like to thank sincerely, and heartily congratulate both of our special guest bloggers for a job well done. Their input has been very educational, and is well appreciated.
