This book was released on 1995-10-27 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Land tenure arrangements are intimately linked with the organization of society, the economy, political structures and geography. In the South Pacific Islands the majority of land is held by community groups under 'customary' or 'traditional' forms of tenure. This book argues that land formerly held in common is now often controlled and used exclusively by individuals or nuclear families - it is being privatized. Detailed case studies demonstrate these trends in Western Samoa, Tonga, Vanuatu and Fiji. Parallels are noted from Asia, Europe and Africa, where comparable forces of commercialization, individualization and socio-political change have brought comparable results. The denial of these trends by policy makers in the region reflects an interest in maintaining the image of traditionalism and its associated status and power. The divergence between rhetoric and reality creates dilemmas for many Pacific Islanders and their leaders.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Land, copra, and custom were the dominant themes in the colonialhistory of the New Hebrides; they remain crucial concerns as theRepublic of Vanuatu, the name adopted at independence in 1980, isexperiencing the transformation of its peasant society from small copraproducers to participants in regional and world market economies. Based on extensive fieldwork, this book gives a detailed account ofhow the 'chain of copra' works -- from the commodity markets ofEurope to the native producers and back again. Through the use ofwell-constructed examples, Rodman shows how small producers respond tochanges in world prices, which in turn are related to the emergence ofeconomic differentials within Longana. The islanders, usually considered to be powerless in their dealingswith the outside world, do, however, see themselves as retaining, andin fact do retain, a measure of control over their economic activitiesin production and marketing, as is demonstrated by Rodman. The author describes how the flexibility of customary land tenureallows the system of land holding to change while appearing to remainthe same. Out of older kinds of inequality are emerging new kinds ofinequality in cash income and in control of land -- land is beingconcentrated in a few hands while the subsequent social differentiationamong the peasant copra producers is being obscured. The way in which the penetration of capitalism has taken place inVanuatu makes possible the persistence of an illusion that richpeasants are the same as traditional men of rank and influence. Whilethis is certainly an illusion, it is also a real way of coping withchange and slowing the impact of capitalism in a local economy with adifferent kind of logic.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Volume one, Reconciling customary land and development in the Pacific, is an overview of the main issues that Pacific island countries, Papua New Guinea and East Timor - referred to broadly as the Pacific region - are likely to face if they choose to reform their land policies and institutions to promote social and economic development. Volume two, Case studies on customary land and development in the Pacific, is a collection of 16 studies that look at problems and innovative practices in land tenure and administration across the Pacific region. These two volumes have been published as an information resource for countries undertaking land policy reform. The books draw lessons from international experience, canvass broad principles and approaches, and seek to stimulate ideas on policy options. Both volumes seek to provide ideas and inspiration for Pacific governments, officials, landholders and the private sector on how to increase the contribution of land to communities and economies while protecting traditional tenure systems.
