This fall, the Asian-Pacific Law & Policy Journal (APLPJ)
editors ambitiously strove to edit and publish more than double the
number of pieces we have published in the past. These thirteen pieces are
spread between two issues: Volume 14, Issue 1 and Issue 2. Volume 14,
Issue 1 is comprised of articles, comments, and a translation that primarily
traversed our standard submission process. Volume 14, Issue 2 is
comprised of articles, an essay, a comment, and adaptions of presentations
that resulted from our Spring 2012 symposium, Rainbow Rising:
Community, Solidarity, and Scholarship. Here, APLPJ proudly presents
Volume 14, Issue 1.
Published in this issue are two articles, three comments, and one
translation. As a whole, these pieces provide an enlightening perspective
on the Asia-Pacific region. Individually, the pieces can be separated into
two general categories: regional and local. What follows is a brief
overview of each piece, oriented within its category.
In their article and comment, respectively, U.S. Navy Commander
and active duty Judge Advocate Jonathan Odom, and William S.
Richardson School of Law (WSRSL) J.D. candidate and APLPJ Staff
Editor Garrett Halydier provide regional insight. In his article, What Does
a Pivot or Rebalance Look Like? Elements of the U.S. Strategic Turn
Towards Security in the Asia-Pacific Region and Its Water, Commander
Odom takes a regional focus by exploring the Obama Administration's
2012 shift in policy towards the Asia-Pacific region through an analysis of
speeches, documents, and news reports. Halydier, on the other hand,
primarily focuses on Asia in his comment A Hybrid Legal and Economic
Development Model that Balances Intellectual Property Protection and
Economic Growth: A Case Study of lndia, Brazil, Indonesia, and Vietnam.
In this comment, Halydier merges economic and legal theory to create a
new development model that seeks to bridge the chasm that separates the
two fields.
Also published in this issue are three pieces that are much more
local in scope. In her article, Na Wai E Ho'ola i Na Iwi? Who Will Save
the Bones: Native Hawaiians and the Native American Graves Protection
and Repatriation Act, University of Hawai'i at Manoa American Studies
Ph.D. candidate and WSRSL J.D. E. Sunny Greer provides a case for why
it is imperative that Native Hawaiians care for ancestral remains and
cultural objects under the Native American Graves Protection Act. Staying
in the Pacific, WSRSL J.D. candidate and APLPJ Executive Comments
Editor Nicole M. Torres focuses on the need for a U.S. congressional
declaration of territorial principles through an analysis of the effects of
Rice v. Cayetano on voter classification in the Marianas in her comment
Self-Determination Challenges to Voter Classification in the Marianas
