If an island state vanishes, is it still a state?
Good question. And something I wondered about a little bit in Arctic Rising, in passing.
What happens if the 61,000 Marshallese must abandon their low-lying atolls? Would they still be a nation? With a U.N. seat? With control of their old fisheries and their undersea minerals? Where would they live, and how would they make a living? Who, precisely, would they and their children become?
