Organised jointly by the Australian National University’s State, Society and Governance in Melanesia (SSGM) Project and the Law School of the University of the South Pacific (USP), the conference was held at the Emalus Campus of USP. ‘Restorative Justice and Conflict Management in the Pacific Islands’ provided the broad theme for discussion of different approaches to crime and conflict in the Pacific Islands and, in particular, in the Melanesian countries that provide the research focus of the SSGM project. In addition to the operations of formal state mechanisms, speakers were encouraged to address informal approaches to conflict resolution including quasi-traditional strategies and the role of non-state agencies. There are growing concerns about conflict and criminality in many parts of the Pacific Islands. ‘Law and order’ problems, as they are euphemistically termed, reflect the many dislocative effects of larger processes of social and economic change taking place in the region. Much of the policy debate generated by these developments has been directed at the need to strengthen state agencies and processes of law enforcement. Less attention has been paid to the role, actual and potential, of those informal 2 a kind of mending structures and processes that in many places continue to wield more influence than do the institutions of the modern nation- state. In addition to general issues of lawlessness, the region has been shaken by a number of complex internal conflicts in recent years. These have inevitably focused attention on the challenges of conflict prevention and resolution. A nine-year civil war on Bougainville, precipitated by landowner grievances over levels of compensation for mining development, has inflicted enormous suffering on the people of that island, as well as causing significant economic and political damage to Papua New Guinea. In May 2000, just over a month before the Vanuatu conference, George Speight led an armed takeover of the Parliamentary complex in Suva and held Prime Minister Mahendra Chaudhry and members of his Cabinet hostage. As with the earlier Rabuka-led coup of 1987, the Speight coup was executed on the pretext of protecting the rights of indigenous Fijians against alleged encroachment by Indo–Fijians, particularly in relation to land. These actions have had devastating social, economic and politics impacts in Fiji. On the 5th June 2000, a couple of weeks after the Fiji coup, members of an armed militia group (the Malaitan Eagle Force — MEF), with the active collaboration of elements of the Solomon Islands police, seized control of key installations in the national capital, Honiara. Prime Minister Bartholomew Ulufa’alu was forced to resign. The Solomon Islands coup had been preceded by two years of mounting tensions between the indigenous inhabitants of Guadalcanal and settlers from the neighbouring

  • The Languages of Melanesia: Quantifying the Level of Coverage
    Language Documentation & Conservation Special Publication No. 5 (December 2012) Melanesian Languages on the Edge of Asia: Challenges for the 21st Century, ed. by Nicholas Evans and Marian Klamer, pp. 13–33 http://nflrc.hawaii.edu/ldc/sp05/ 2 http://hdl.handle.net/10125/4559 The languages of Melanesia: Quantifying the level of coverage Harald Hammarström Max Plank Institute for Evolutionary Anthopology Sebastian Nordhoff Max Plank Institute for Evolutionary Anthopology The present paper assesses the state of grammatical description of the languages of the Melanesian region based on database of semi- automatically annotated aggregated bibliographical references. 150 years of language description in Melanesia has produced at least some grammatical information for almost half of the languages of Melanesia, almost evenly spread among coastal/non-coastal, Austronesian/non- Austronesian and isolates/large families. Nevertheless, only 15.4% of these languages have a grammar and another 18.7% have a grammar sketch. Compared to Eurasia, Africa and the Americas, the Papua- Austronesian region is the region with the largest number of poorly documented languages and the largest proportion of poorly documented languages. We conclude with some dicussion and remarks on the documentational challenge and its future prospects. 1. INTRODUCTION. We will take Melanesia to be the sub-region of Oceania extending from the Arafura Sea and Western Pacific in the west to Fiji in the east – see the map in figure 1.1 This region is home to no fewer than 1347 (1315 living + 32 recently extinct) attested indigenous languages as per the language/dialect divisions of Lewis (2009), with small adjustments and adding attested extinct languages given in table 1.

  • Index to Niugini Caver Tracy Harwood and R
    Index to Niugini Caver Tracy Harwood and R. Michael Bourke* Niugini Caver was a journal devoted to documenting cave exploration and speleology (the science of caves) in Papua New Guinea (PNG). The journal was published on behalf of the PNG Cave Exploration Group (PNGCEG), an informal association of those engaged in cave exploration in PNG. It was founded in early 1973 by RM (Mike) Bourke, supported by his wife, Jean, who were based at Keravat, about 40 km from Rabaul, New Britain. Mike edited sixteen issues of the journal, volumes 1 to 4, from 1973 to 1976. Another member of the PNGCEG (and also University of Queensland Speleological Society), Malcolm Pound, supported by his wife, Alison, and others in Port Moresby, took over the editing when Mike left PNG. The Pounds produced nine issues across 1977, 1978 and 1979. After a gap of several years, they produced a huge catch-up issue (volume 7, numbers 2, 3 and 4) of 124 pages in 1982. Geoff Francis, assisted by John Wyeth and Bernard Pawih, produced one issue in December 1982. This was the final issue, as the number of active cave explorers in PNG, most of whom were Australian, British or New Zealander, had declined as this generation of expatriates left PNG. Twenty-seven issues of the journal were produced, containing 1010 pages. The focus of the journal was documenting caves in PNG, but many other cave-related topics were covered, including documentation of cave use by indigenous Papua New Guineans (rock art, burials, wartime history, legends, spirits and stone artefacts).

  • A Revision of Boea (Gesneriaceae)
    EDINBURGH JOURNAL OF BOTANY Page1of 31 1 © Trustees of the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh (2017) doi: 10.1017/S0960428617000336 A REVISION OF BOEA (GESNERIACEAE) C. Puglisi1,2 &D.J.Middleton1 The genus Boea Comm. ex Lam. is revised. Eleven species are recognised, including the new species Boea morobensis C.Puglisi. A key is provided, all names are typified, and the species are described. Keywords. Australia, Loxocarpinae, Papua New Guinea, Solomon Islands, taxonomy, Waigeo. Introduction Boea Comm. ex Lam. was first described in 1785 by Lamarck, based on material collected and named, but not published, by Commerson. Boea was the first Old World genus with a twisted capsule to be described, and as such, became the genus to which many new Southeast Asian species with a similar fruit type were ascribed. Most of these species are now assigned to a number of genera that have been distinguished from Boea (Puglisi et al., 2016). The correct spelling of the genus name has been rather problematic. In the protologue (Lamarck, 1785), the genus is written ‘Bœa’, but this appears to have been interpreted as ‘Bæa’ in the index of the same work. Although Lamarck gives no etymology, an annotation in an unknown hand on the Geneva duplicate of the type collection suggests that the genus is named for a Mlle Beau, the niece of a clergyman friend of Commerson. She is presumed to be the Mlle Beau who became Commerson’s wife. Clarke (1883) suggests that the genus name derives from a M. le Beau, Commerson’s wife’s brother, and that Commerson spelled the genus name ‘Bea’.
