MARTIN, Denis Constant Directeur de recherche FNSP IEP de Bordeaux Directeur Titre : Le récit corallien : production, diffusion et cadrage des récits d’action publique de la disparition des États atolliens entre Tuvalu, Kiribati et la Nouvelle-Zélande. Résumé : Depuis la prise en compte croissante du changement climatique, de nombreux commentateurs ont commencé à raconter une histoire : celle des petits États insulaires du Pacifique sud, entièrement constitués d’atolls, qui risquent de disparaître en raison de l’élévation du niveau marin. Nous considérons que cette histoire est un « récit d’action publique » destiné à attirer l’attention et à convaincre les décideurs politiques d’agir pour empêcher la réalisation du problème ou lui trouver une solution. Ces « récits de la disparition » présentent deux particularités : ils ne sont associés à aucune politique publique déjà mise en œuvre et ils sont mobilisés par des acteurs variés issus des milieux politiques et de la société civile. À partir de la littérature sur l’analyse cognitive des politiques publiques et plus particulièrement l’analyse des récits de politiques publiques, cette thèse se propose d’étudier la production, la diffusion et les cadrages de ces récits de la disparition à l’aide de méthodes mixtes associant une démarche qualitative d’enquête avec la réalisation d’une analyse statistique textuelle.

As indicated by its subtitle, this CC:INFO product is a directory of delegates and observers having attended the second or third sessions of the Conference of the Parties of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, or any of its subsidiary body meetings in between (COP2-COP3). This Who is Who was developed to provide those involved in the Climate Change process with a single, easy-to-use document, enabling them to renew or establish contact with each other. The Who is Who provides the title and contact information (e.g., institutional and e-mail addresses, direct telephone and fax numbers, etc…) for each individual, as provided to the secretariat during conference registration. Some of this information is now no longer valid, due to, e.g., new professional reassignments, including in some cases to the Climate Change Secretariat.

The Effect of Migration on Development in Tuvalu: A Case Study of PAC Migrants and their Families A thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Philosophy in Development Studies at Massey University, New Zealand Sunema Pie Simati 2009 ABSTRACT International migration and development have been traditionally treated as separate policy portfolios; however, today the two are increasingly viewed as interlinked. While the development status of a country could determine migration flows, migration can, in turn, contribute positively to national development, including economic, social and cultural progress. Consequently, if migration is not well managed, it can pose development challenges to a country’s development and progress. Therefore, partnership through greater networking between countries of origin and destination is needed to fully utilise the development potential of migration. For Tuvalu, migration has remained a vital ingredient for economic development and more importantly, the welfare of its people. The implementation of New Zealand’s Pacific Access Category (PAC) scheme in 2002 offered for the first time a formal migration opportunity for permanent or long-term migration of Tuvaluans. The PAC scheme allows 75 Tuvaluans per year to apply for permanent residence to work and live in New Zealand, provided they meet the scheme’s conditions. The goal of this research is to investigate, more than five years after PAC’s implementation, the ways in which long-term migration of Tuvaluans, through the PAC scheme, has benefited Tuvalu.

  • The Colonial and Postcolonial Roots of Ethnonationalism in Tuvalu
    THE COLONIAL AND POSTCOLONIAL ROOTS OF ETHNONATIONALISM IN TUVALU MICHAEL GOLDSMITH University of Waikato A sense of grievance is not the only ground in which ethnonationalism can flourish but it is certainly one of its more effective fertilisers. In assessing the role that grievances have played in the political journey of Tuvalu, this paper traces a changing set of narratives. It starts with a story of benign neglect under British rule that turns sour during the stresses of separation from the colonial matrix. It then recounts a subsequent struggle for economic independence driven by a sense of injustice and couched in terms of reparation. Most recently, it has been recast as a fight for environmental survival against the forces of international indifference. Ironically, if the colonial narrative over-emphasised harmony, the latest one portrays Tuvalu as a global icon of aggrieved modern micro-statehood. The protagonists have changed along with the narratives: first, the colonial administration and its local representatives; then, the post-independence government involved in negotiations with a small group of other state actors, most of which had an earlier colonial connection to Tuvalu; and lastly, that same government embroiled with multinational agencies like the United Nations, international conferences, regional organisations and NGOs. Grievance, it seems, needs a receptive audience to flourish, both among those who feel aggrieved and those who acknowledge a portion of responsibility for the reasons why. Tuvalu, the former Ellice Islands, first came under formal British administration as a constituent part of the Gilbert and Ellice Islands Protectorate in 1892, an imposition of colonial rule subsequently revamped in the form of a colony (the GEIC) in 1916 (Macdonald 1982: 114).
