She was always available to discuss development issues with us, she helped on our Editorial Board and served for three years as an enthusiastic and dedicated member of en the Development Studies Network Board of Directors. Although she was unwell, she continued to provide ideas, contacts, and sound and sharp discussion on development issues. In many ways Elspeth was a supporter of the not so fortunate, the underdog and the ()) misunderstood in different cultures. She was a wonderful and dedicated teacher and I , researcher. Her encouragement has helped the Network-and so many others. Symposium on Political Participation in the Pacific This issue ofDevelopment Bulletin focuses on a vitally important but often neglected area of politics and governance-race, religion and gender. In collaboration with the State, 0 Society and Governance in Melanesia Project of the Australian National University the Network ran a one day symposium at Parliament House, Canberra to focus attention on the ways in which race, religion and gender individually and collectively influence politics and political participation in Pacific Island countries. We invited a number of Pacific Island political leaders, planners, representatives of civil society and political commentators to z discuss their personal experiences in the political arena. We also asked well known political scientists and lawyers to participate in the discussion or to provide additional papers for the publication. This issue of the journal comprises the papers and discussion from the symposium held on 17 July, discussion and output from a one day workshop· held at the Australian National University on 18 July and further supporting papers on state formation, en identity, ethnicity and instability and the role oflaw in civil society. The output and recommendations from the workshop are included in the introduction. AusAID support We are grateful to AusAID for supporting the publication of this issue of Development Bulletin. As Chris Gallus, the Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister for Foreign Affairs and Trade, stated in her introduction to the symposium 'Australia's aid program recognises 0 that good governance and equality in political participation is the foundation for poverty I , reduction and the key to stability and economic growth ... in this financial year AusAID • will expend $355 million on governance activities' . Viewpoint In the Viewpoint section Jane Hearn and Susan Harris debate the relationship between human rights and Australian aid and Ian Patrick looks at the relationship between development research and aid policy formulation. New books We include reviews of useful new publications and the latest books available on governance, human rights, gender, democratic processes, politics and political participation available from Last-First Networks as well as other publishers and resource centres.

Chris Gallus, MP at the Australian Development Studies Network Symposium Parliament House, (]) Canberra 17july 2002. · \, -Australia's aid program recognises that good governance is a foundation for poverty reduction and a key to ensuring stability and economic growth in the region. In Bougainville, the Solomon Islands and Fiji we have seen how underlying problems of poor governance have contributed to the conflict in these countries. When we say good governance we mean the competent management of a country's resources in a way that is open, transparent, accountable, equitable and responsive to people's needs. Poor governance exacerbates poverty, inequality, and weak state institutions that in turn contribute to instability and conflict.

    Women and Politics in Presence: Case of Papua New Guinea A thesis presented to the faculty of the College of Arts and Sciences of Ohio University In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree Master of Arts Mary Fairio August 2014 © 2014 Mary Fairio. All Rights Reserved. 2 This thesis titled Women and Politics in Presence: Case of Papua New Guinea by MARY FAIRIO has been approved for the Department of Political Science and the College of Arts and Sciences by Julie White Associate Professor of Political Science Robert Frank Dean, College of Arts and Sciences 3 Abstract FAIRIO MARY, M.A., August 2014, Political Science Women and Politics in Presence: Case of Papua New Guinea Director ofThesis: Julie White One area that presents challenge for democracy is women representation, an important dimension for gender equality. However, there are major variations among countries. Papua New Guinea is one of the countries with the lowest number of female representatives in parliament. Two questions are asked in regard to the representation of women. First, why is it difficult for women to be elected in Papua New Guinea? And second, how do we explain where women were able to challenge others to be elected? Formal institution such as the electoral system is just one way to discuss gender equality. There are other areas of gender inequality that interact with the formal system relating to social, cultural, and economic factors. An analysis of these factors shows that even improving formal institutions to increase the number of women in political participation, gender inequality is still a challenge within and outside the legislative office.

  • Papuaweb: Harple (2000)
    Introduction Contemporary consultancy reports commissioned by PT Freeport Indonesia, a mining company whose operations directly impact Kamoro and Amungme communities, paint a rather bleak picture of the ability of the Kamoro to adapt to change. They tend to indicate that due to the “constraints” of their culture, the Kamoro passively resist the massive changes brought about by the pressures of contemporary “development” and “modernisation” (see for example LABAT- Anderson, Inc. 1997:3-2-6 and Dames & Moore 1997:120-122 ).1 This thesis examines in detail how the Kamoro people of the south-west coast of Papua (former Irian Jaya), Indonesia have adapted to major political and economic changes over a long history of interactions with outsiders. It is an ethnohistorical analysis of Kamoro sociality focused on their strategies of engagement. The basic theme underlying Kamoro sociality is a form of social reciprocity that I argue is symbolically embedded in conceptions of time, history, and ultimately understandings and constructions of reality. Kamoro narratives about the cultural heroes, the amoko-we, form a meaningful merger of this subject matter. Ultimately, narratives about the amoko-we, known as amoko-kwere, are primary mechanisms for Kamoro interpretation of and adaptation to change.2 Critical elements of Kamoro sociality central to this process of adaptation include the conspicuous incorporation of foreign elements into local systems of meaning and a rather pragmatic approach to power relationships. Both are reflected not only in observations of Kamoro practice, but also in amoko-kwere. Within local systems of meaning, “foreign” elements, including people, objects and abilities, are consistently reformulated as products of Kamoro agency.

  • The Christian and Missionary Alliance: an Annotated Bibliography of Textual Sources
    H. D. (Sandy) Ayer was born in New Westminster, British Columbia, in 1952 and grew up in the semi-wilderness of Kitimat, B.C., where he acquired his love of nature. Following his graduation from library school in 1984, he and his wife Diane moved to Regina, Saskatchewan, where Sandy began work as director of library services at Canadian Bible College/Canadian Theological Seminary. His interest in Alliance bibliography stems from his roles as institutional archivist and administrator of the library’s special collection in Allianceana and his love of collecting things. The 6' 8' author has the distinction of being perhaps the world’s tallest theological librarian. He and Diane have two children, Adam, 15, and Hannah, 12. Sandy reads to relax and birds for excitement. If he were ever to write another book, it would be about his experiences as a birder. The Christian and Missionary Alliance: An Annotated Bibliography of Textual Sources H. D. (Sandy) Ayer 7 Dedication Dedicated to John Sawin, Christian and Missionary Alliance pastor, missionary to Vietnam, archivist, historian, and bibliographer. John’s passion for early Allianceana led him to collect, organize, and catalogue, with the help of his late wife Woneta, the thousands of books, periodicals, pamphlets, tracts, and other documents that now form the basis of the special collections and archives at both the C&MA headquarters in Colorado Springs and Canadian Bible College/Canadian Theological Seminary in Regina, Sask.

FOX1 Eastern Indonesia in Austronesian Perspective: The Evidence of Relational Terminologies The Historical Delineation of “Eastern Indonesia” For the better part of two centuries, researchers, relying on different methods, have attempted to distinguish eastern Indonesia within the wider Austronesian archipelago. Alfred Russel Wallace in his Malay Archipelago (1869) was much concerned with the differences he claimed to perceive between Malay and Alfuru populations in the eastern archipelago. As a consequence, he drew not one but two distinct lines through eastern Indonesia. The irst of these lines, which has become known simply as the ‘Wallace Line’ was labelled the “Division between the Indo-Malayan and the Austro-Malayan Regions”. The second line, which extends much further to the east and separates Sumba, Flores and the Moluccan islands from the rest of the archipelago, represented his “Division between Malayan and Polynesian Races” (See Map in Volume I set between pages 14 and 15).
