The Law and Economics of American Colonialism: Rights and Resources
of Native Cultures [GOV 470]
Immerse yourself in the delicate environment and innovative industries of the Hawaiian islands and learn firsthand what made kings, emperors, and presidents want to own it all. Study the political history of Hawaii, how it became the 50th state, and how that history has shaped the current legal, political, and economic environment there. Meet native groups calling for independence, military officers commanding half the globe from atop a volcano, and farmers growing the world's finest coffee in an ideal climate.
Estimated cost is $3000 (that is $2,500 plus $500 for food, at least). You choose your own budget for food and enjoy all the islands have to offer, from exotic seafood, Asian delights, to standard American fare.
