  • 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.

  • Terra Australis 26
    terra australis 26 Terra Australis reports the results of archaeological and related research within the south and east of Asia, though mainly Australia, New Guinea and island Melanesia — lands that remained terra australis incognita to generations of prehistorians. Its subject is the settlement of the diverse environments in this isolated quarter of the globe by peoples who have maintained their discrete and traditional ways of life into the recent recorded or remembered past and at times into the observable present. Since the beginning of the series, the basic colour on the spine and cover has distinguished the regional distribution of topics as follows: ochre for Australia, green for New Guinea, red for South-East Asia and blue for the Pacific Islands. From 2001, issues with a gold spine will include conference proceedings, edited papers and monographs which in topic or desired format do not fit easily within the original arrangements. All volumes are numbered within the same series. List of volumes in Terra Australis Volume 1: Burrill Lake and Currarong: Coastal Sites in Southern New South Wales. R.J.

  • Debating Lapita: Distribution, Chronology, Society and Subsistence
    1 Debating Lapita: Distribution, chronology, society and subsistence Stuart Bedford, Matthew Spriggs, David V. Burley, Christophe Sand, Peter Sheppard and Glenn R. Summerhayes Lapita has been a focus for archaeologists for generations. Initially inspired by the scattered reporting in the early twentieth century of highly decorated sherds (Meyer 1909; McKern 1929; Piroutet 1917), its increasing significance in terms of the human settlement of the Pacific began to build in the 1960s. The Lapita culture has been most clearly defined by its distinctive dentate- stamped decorated pottery and the design system represented on it and on further incised pots. It is defined earliest in the Bismarck Archipelago to the east of the large island of New Guinea, at some time in the centuries preceding 3000 cal. BP. At around that date the Lapita culture spread out from its Bismarck Archipelago ‘homeland’ to beyond previously inhabited regions of Near Oceania to establish the first human colonies in the western part of Remote Oceania, the present-day south-east Solomons, Vanuatu, New Caledonia, Fiji, Tonga, Samoa and Wallis and Futuna. At about the same time there was a push to the south-west out from the Bismarcks along the south coast of New Guinea, perhaps even as far as the Torres Straits (McNiven et al. 2006). The broad overlapping themes of this volume, Lapita distribution and chronology, society and subsistence, relate to research questions that have long been debated in relation to Lapita. It is a substantial volume with 23 chapters, reflecting the increasing breadth and focus on different aspects of Lapita that have developed over several decades.
