From First Canoe to Statehood: Eight Hundred Years of Economic and Political Change in Hawaii

Australian Economic History Review, 2019, vol. 59, issue 1, 2-23

Abstract: The Hawaiian archipelago was the last major land area on the planet to be settled, with Polynesians making the long voyage just under a millennium ago. Building on new archaeological and historical research, the lecture provides an overview of the economic and political history of Hawai‘i from the first Polynesian settlements in the thirteen century through U.S. colonisation and statehood. The analysis considers how the political and economic institutions that emerged and evolved in Hawai‘i during its centuries of global isolation changed in response to Hawai‘i's post‐1778 integration into a new world of global markets and colonial politics.
