Abstract
This article shows that international development agencies currently intervening in the restructuring of the Marshal Islands economy have continued to define the term 'sustainability' in ways that undermine the resilience of local economic strategies. It argues that such a definition fails to capture the full nature of the ongoing Marshallese economy by focusing too narrowly on transfers related to the Island's political relations with the United States of America.
