lx1/rtetcanJViuseum PUBLISHED BY THE AMERICAN MUSEUM OF NATURAL HISTORY CENTRAL PARK WEST AT 79TH STREET, NEW YORK 24, N.Y. NUMBER 1707 FEBRUARY 1 9, 1955 Notes on the Birds of Northern Melanesia. 31 Passeres BY ERNST MAYR The present paper continues the revisions of birds from northern Melanesia and is devoted to the Order Passeres. The literature on the birds of this area is excessively scattered, and one of the functions of this review paper is to provide bibliographic references to recent litera- ture of the various species, in order to make it more readily available to new students. Another object of this paper, as of the previous install- ments of this series, is to indicate intraspecific trends of geographic varia- tion in the Bismarck Archipelago and the Solomon Islands and to state for each species from where it colonized northern Melanesia. Such in- formation is recorded in preparation of an eventual zoogeographic and evolutionary analysis of the bird fauna of the area. For those who are interested in specific islands, the following re- gional bibliography (covering only the more recent literature) may be of interest: BISMARCK ARCHIPELAGO Reichenow, 1899, Mitt. Zool. Mus. Berlin, vol. 1, pp. 1-106; Meyer, 1936, Die Vogel des Bismarckarchipel, Vunapope, New Britain, 55 pp. ADMIRALTY ISLANDS: Rothschild and Hartert, 1914, Novitates Zool., vol. 21, pp. 281-298; Ripley, 1947, Jour.

Solomon Islands: Summary Report Educational Experience Survey Education, Language and Literacy Experience About Asia South Pacific Education Watch Initiative
Asia-South Pacific Education Watch Solomon Islands: Summary Report Educational Experience Survey Education, Language and Literacy Experience About Asia South Pacific Education Watch Initiative The critical state and ailing condition of education in many countries in Asia-South Pacific region compels serious and urgent attention from all education stakeholders. Centuries of neglect, underinvestment in education, corrup- tion, and inefficiency by successive governments in the countries of the region have left a grim toll in poor education performance marked by low school attendance and survival rates, high dropout and illiteracy rates, and substandard education quality. Moreover, there are glaring disparities in access to education and learning opportunities: hundreds of millions of impover- ished and disadvantaged groups which include out-of-school chil- dren and youth, child workers, children in conflict areas, women, ethnic minorities, persons with disabilities, dalit caste and other socially discriminated sectors, remain largely unreached and ex- cluded by the education system. Hence they are denied their fundamental human right to edu- cation and hindered from availing of the empowering and trans- formative tool of quality, life-long learning that could have equipped them to realize their full human potential, uplift their living conditions, and participate meaningfully in governance and in decisions that affect their lives. At Midway: Failing Grade in EFA In the year 2000, governments and the international commu- nity affirmed their commitment to quality Education for All (EFA) and Millenium Develoment Goals (MDGs). Midway to target year 2015, government assessments of EFA progress re- veal that education gaps and disparities persist, and education conditions may even be worsening as indicated by shortfalls and reversals in EFA achievement. -

Waves of Exchange
Symposium Proceedings, 2020 Introduction: Waves of Exchange Brittany Myburgh, University of Toronto Their universe comprised not only land surfaces, but the surrounding ocean as far as they could traverse and exploit it... - Our Sea of Islands, Epeli Hau’ofa1 Oceania is connected by waves of movement, from ocean-faring migration to networks of information and exchange. Tongan scholar Epeli Hau’ofa has described Oceania as a “sea of islands,” or a sea of relationships and networks that challenges prescribed geographic boundaries and scales. Arguing for the theorization and use of the term ‘Oceania,’ to describe this zone, Hau’ofa seeks to subvert the ways in which European colonizers, from James Cook to Louis Antoine de Bougainville, conceptually and physically mapped the Pacific Ocean (Te Moana Nui) as islands scattered in a faraway sea.2 The Pacific has long held space in the Western imagination. Its presence, as Linda Tuhiwai Smith argues, is to be found in the West’s very “fibre and texture, in its sense of itself, in its language, in its silences and shadows, its margins and intersections.”3 The European activity of mapping the Pacific Ocean throughout the latter half of the eighteenth century was accompanied by the acquisition of material culture from within Oceania.4 The collection of 1 Epeli Hau'ofa, “Our Sea of Islands,” The Contemporary Pacific , vol. 6, no. 1, (Spring 1994): 152. 2 Hau'ofa, “Our Sea of Islands,” 151. 3 Linda Tuhiwai Smith, Decolonizing methodologies: research and indigenous peoples. (London: Zed Books, 1999): 14. 4 Attention is increasingly paid to provenance and biographies of objects in Oceanic collections to better assess the often fraught histories of encounter, trade, and appropriation or theft. -

Du Cericentre De Recherches
les études du Ceri Centre de Recherches Internationales One Among Many: Changing Geostrategic Interests and Challenges for France in the South Pacific Denise Fisher One Among Many: Changing Geostrategic Interests and Challenges for France in the South Pacific Abstract France, which is both an external and resident South Pacific power by virtue of its possessions there, pursues, or simply inherits, multiple strategic benefits. But the strategic context has changed in recent years. China's increased presence; consequent changes in the engagement of the US, Japan and Taiwan; and the involvement of other players in the global search for resources, means that France is one of many more with influence and interests in a region considered by some as a backwater. These shifts in a way heighten the value of France's strategic returns, while impacting on France's capacity to exert influence and pursue its own objectives in the region. At the same time, France is dealing with demands for greater autonomy and even independence from its two most valuable overseas possessions on which its influence is based, New Caledonia and French Polynesia. How it responds to these demands will directly shape the nature of its future regional presence, which is a strategic asset. Une puissance parmi d'autres : évolution des enjeux et défis géostratégiques de la France en Océanie Résumé Compte tenu des territoires qu’elle y possède encore, la France est en Océanie une puissance à la fois locale et extérieure. A ce titre, et quand elle ne se contente pas de bénéficier d’avantages hérités, elle poursuit des objectifs stratégiques multiples. -
