TITLE OF TALK: "PROLONGED OCCUPATIONS: THE BALTIC STATES AND HAWAI‘I”
WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 4, 2006
Noon - 1:15 p.m.
SAUNDERS 624, FRIEDMAN ROOM, UH-MANOA

While the U.S. occupation of Hawai‘i may have the longest duration in modern history, it is not the only prolonged occupation of an Independent State. Extended occupations of Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania occurred after World War II, from the mid 1940s until 1991, as the Soviet Union illegally subsumed these countries within its territorial borders. Although aspects of these occupations are specific to the time and situation in Europe, by analyzing these examples a discourse may emerge for describing the significant concepts and the trajectory of events within prolonged occupations of Independent States. This conceptual framework may then be applied to Hawai‘i as a means for exploring the history and the dynamics of the U.S. occupation of Hawai‘i. For this talk, I will employ historical institutionalism to create a conceptual trajectory of prolonged occupations from data gathered on Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania.
