dc.description.abstractPolicy decisions about communication system resources are an important part of controlled development in any society. Informed decisions are better made with a thorough understanding of the society's existing patterns of communication and their interrelationship with political, social and economic factors in historical context. This paper will present a concise historical overview of Marshallese culture. The purpose is to provide the essential background, based on existing literature, for future field research projects that will explore communication behavior.
