  • Cedaw Smokescreens: Gender Politics in Contemporary Tonga
    CEDAW Smokescreens: Gender Politics in Contemporary Tonga Helen Lee Tonga remains one of only six countries that have not ratified the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women (cedaw), which was adopted in 1979 by the United Nations Gen- eral Assembly. In March 2015, the Tongan government made a commit- ment to the United Nations that it would finally ratify cedaw, albeit with some reservations. The prime minister, ‘Akilisi Pōhiva, called it “a historic day for all Tongans . in support of our endeavour to eliminate all forms of discrimination against women and girls” (Matangi Tonga 2015e).1 However, the decision to ratify was met with public protests and peti- tions, and in June, the Privy Council, headed by the king, announced that the proposed ratification was unconstitutional (P Fonua 2015), claiming that under clause 39 of Tonga’s 1875 Constitution, “only the King can lawfully make treaties with foreign states” (Radio New Zealand 2015b). This article asks why so many Tongans, both male and female, are against ratifying cedaw. I argue that their protests conceal much deeper anxieties about gender equality and, more broadly, about democracy and Tonga’s future. In order to understand this resistance to cedaw’s ratification, I explore key issues in Tonga’s contemporary gender politics, including women’s roles in leadership, the economy, and the family, as well as gov- ernment policies addressing gender equality. cedaw in Tonga Most Pacific nations have ratified or acceded to cedaw,2 beginning with New Zealand in 1985 and Sāmoa in 1992. The only remaining Pacific countries are Palau, which signed the convention in 2011 but has not for- mally ratified or acceded to it,3 and Tonga, which has not even signed the The Contemporary Pacic, Volume 29, Number 1, 66–90 © 2017 by University of Hawai‘i Press 66 lee • cedaw smokescreens 67 convention (United Nations 2016).

  • Human Systems
    Human Systems In the video below, Hans Rosling looks at the factors involved in demographic changes. This presentation demonstrates massive amounts of demographic data in 4 minutes to show 200 years of changing income and life expectancy around the world. Video 5.1: 200 Countries, 200 Years, 4 Minutes, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jbkSRLYSojo Having the data is not enough- there needs to be an enjoyable way to communicate the data. The data is shown on a graph which indicates life expectancy and income. Within this graph, we can see where poor and sick would be located and rich and healthy would be located. The regions he is looking at is Europe, Asia, the Americas, and Africa. This video is a very engaging and enjoyable way to understand global health and wealth patterns. Note: Income per person (GDP per capita) is adjusted for inflation and for differences in costs of living (purchasing power) across countries. You can play with the data yourself in Gapminder World. Introduction The study of the Earth’s Human Systems is a complex topic. Over 7 billion people inhabit Earth and each are part of multiple human systems. Human systems, simply put, are the patterns and relationships among culture, economies, politics, and demographics. It is easy to make generalizations and oversimplify these systems (and the people in them), but this often leads to misunderstandings, stereotypes, and even prejudice. Our job as geography educators is to eliminate these misunderstandings and lead our students to a deeper understanding of the rich cultural mosaic of our global population.

  • PATHS in the JUNGLE Landowners and the Struggle for Control of Solomon Islands' Logging Industry
    PATHS IN THE JUNGLE Landowners and the Struggle for Control of Solomon Islands' Logging Industry Tarcisius Tara Kabutaulaka A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy of The Australian National University Canberra 2001 194 Chapter Seven REFORMS IN THE LOGGING INDUSTRY Because of the nature of developments in the Solomon Islands logging industry in the past two decades, there have been concerted efforts, especially in the 1990s, to push for reforms in forestry policies, and legislation, and in the way the administrative structures are organised. Such reforms, it was envisaged, would enable the government to better regulate the industry's operations and ensure that Solomon Islander landowners obtain greater control over the industry and more benefit from it. It is assumed, in other words, that reforms will produce an environment where landowners may participate more effectively and that this will produce better logging outcomes. But, has this been the case? Has reform produced an environment for more effective landowner participation and control of the logging industry? Has reform merely increased the capacity of the state and not necessarily that of landowners? What are the likely outcomes of these reform initiatives? These are some of the questions that this chapter seeks to answer. The chapter examines two of the major reform initiatives currently being implemented: the AusAID-funded Solomon Islands Forest Management Project (SIFMP) and the Forestry Act 1999. The objective of the chapter is to evaluate how forestry reforms affect the participation of customary landowners and their control over the logging industry. The chapter is divided into four parts.
