Download or read book Administrative Law and Judicial Review in Papua New Guinea written by Christopher Karaiye and published by Notion Press. This book was released on 2019-06-18 with total page 713 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a compendium of administrative law and judicial review in Papua New Guinea. In this book the author precisely recounts the history of the development of administrative law and judicial review in England and some other common law jurisdictions. The main theme of the book is, however, devoted to judicial review in Papua New Guinea. The practice and procedure for appealing from the decision of the National Court in judicial review are unique and onerous. This book evaluates them in detail to give the readers a complete sense of reference. The interlocutory procedures encapsulated in this book are also relevant for any proceeding before the courts. At the end of various chapters, the author makes some insightful and thought-provoking commentaries on gaps found in judicial review. The book is an authoritative text for lawyers, law students, academia, judicial officers and other interested persons alike. It is a must read for lawyers and law students who seek to be familiar with the often cumbersome judicial review procedures and practices. For students and scholars in other disciplines who aim to learn and abreast themselves of how administrative law affects administrative action and public policy, this book is a perfect choice. The book dissects complex administrative law concepts and enables lay persons, including those in the public service, to fully understand and apply them. The book is a valuable resource material for the Pacific Island countries like Fiji, Vanuatu and Solomon Islands, who have adopted the common law legal systems similar to Papua New Guinea. BOOK REVIEWS “The author collates, culls and compiles one important material for use by judicial officers and practitioners in the area of judicial review.” – Leslie Mamu, LL.B, Acting Public Solicitor, Papua New Guinea, 18 February 2018, Port Moresby, PNG “This welcome new book by Christopher Karaiye is essential reading for all lawyers practising in the busy area of Judicial Review in PNG and also students of the topic. It is a well-researched and presented work and will be a worthy addition to my administrative law library.” – Terry Lambert, LL.B, LL.M, Barrister (Queensland, Australia), Lawyer (PNG), Solicitor (England & Wales), 7 June 2018, Brisbane, Australia “The book “Administrative Law and Judicial Review in Papua New Guinea” is a must read for lawyers and public alike involved in the judicial review of administrative decisions. The book contains a comprehensive guide to an increasingly important yet quite complex area of law. The author draws from his own experience and research to make this important contribution to the development of Papua New Guinea’s expanding judicial review jurisprudence. This work is essential reading to understand the nuances involved in this area of law.” – Dr Vergil Narokobi, LL.B, LL.M, Ph.D, Counsel for the Papua New Guinea Ombudsman Commission & President of Papua New Guinea Law Society, 25 June 2018, Port Moresby, PNG “This work is of very high quality and would be a very valuable tool for judges, magistrates, lawyers, the academia, and people in decision-making positions in the public and the private sectors. I recommend the book to them. I am impressed with your comprehensive use of local case precedents and in-depth knowledge of the topics.” – Honourable Sir Gibbs Salika, KBE CSM OBE, Deputy Chief Justice of Papua New Guinea (as he then was), 4 July 2018, Port Moresby, PNG “An extensive, thought-provoking and easy to read compendium that makes accessible the law of Papua New Guinea on the topic of judicial review in its many guises.” – Emeritus Professor Tony Angelo (Victoria University of Wellington), QC, 7 October 2018, Wellington, New Zealand
Download or read book Policy Making and Implementation written by Ronald James May and published by ANU E Press. This book was released on 2009-09-01 with total page 413 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is a vast literature on the principles of public administration and good governance, and no shortage of theoreticians, practitioners and donors eager to push for public sector reform, especially in less-developed countries. Papua New Guinea has had its share of public sector reforms, frequently under the influence of multinational agencies and aid donors. Yet there seems to be a general consensus, both within and outside Papua New Guinea, that policy making and implementation have fallen short of expectations, that there has been a failure to achieve 'good governance'. This volume, which brings together a number of Papua New Guinean and Australian-based scholars and practitioners with deep familiarity of policy making in Papua New Guinea, examines the record of policy making and implementation in Papua New Guinea since independence. It reviews the history of public sector reform in Papua New Guinea, and provides case studies of policy making and implementation in a number of areas, including the economy, agriculture, mineral development, health, education, lands, environment, forestry, decentralization, law and order, defence, women and foreign affairs, privatization, and AIDS. Policy is continuously evolving, but this study documents the processes of policy making and implementation over a number of years, with the hope that a better understanding of past successes and failures will contribute to improved governance in the future.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a previous volume, State and Society in Papua New Guinea: The First Twenty-Five Years (2001, reprinted by ANU E Press in 2004), a collection of papers by the author published between 1971 and 2001 was put together to mark Papua New Guinea’s first 25 years as an independent state. This volume presents a collection of papers written between 2001 and 2021, which update the story of political and social development in Papua New Guinea in the first two decades of the twenty-first century. The chapters cover a range of topics, from an evaluation of proposals for political reform in the early 2000s, a review of the discussion of ‘failing states’ in the island Pacific and the shift to limited preferential voting in 2007, to a detailed account of political developments from the move against Sir Michael Somare in 2011 to the election of Prime Minister Marape and his performance to 2022. There are also chapters on language policy, external and internal security, religious fundamentalism and national identity, and the sustainability of economic growth.

Download or read book Becoming Landowners written by Victoria C. Stead and published by University of Hawaii Press. This book was released on 2016-10-31 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Across Melanesia, the ways in which people connect to land are being transformed by processes of modernization—globalization, the building of states and nations, practices and imaginaries of development, the legacies of colonialism, and the complexities of postcolonial encounters. Melanesian peoples are becoming landowners, Stead argues, both in the sense that these processes of change compel forms of property relations, and in the sense that “landowner” and “custom landowner” become identities to be wielded against the encroachment of both state and capital. In places where customary forms of land tenure have long been dominant, deeply intertwined with senses of self and relationships with others, land now becomes a crucible upon which social relations, power, and culture are reconfigured and reimagined. Employing a multi-sited ethnographic approach, Becoming Landowners explores these transformations to land and life as they unfold across two Melanesian countries. The chapters move between coasts and inland mountain ranges, between urban centers and rural villages, telling the stories of people and places who are always situated and particular but who also share powerful commonalities of experience. These include a subsistence-based community shaped by the legacies of colonialism and occupation in remote Timor-Leste, villagers in Papua New Guinea resisting a mining operation and the government agents supporting it, an urban East Timorese settlement resisting eviction by the nation-state its residents hoped would represent them in the post-independence era, and people and groups in both countries who are struggling for, with, and sometimes against the formal codification of their claims to land and place. In each of these instances, customary and modern forms of connection to land are propelled into complex and dynamic configurations, theorized here in an innovative way as entanglements of custom and modernity. Moving between multiple sites, scales, and forms of collectivity, Becoming Landowners reveals entanglements as spaces of deep ambivalence. Here, structures of power are destabilized in ways that can lend themselves to the diminishing of local autonomy in the face of the state and capital. At the same time, the destabilization of power also creates new possibilities for the reassertion of that autonomy, and of the customary forms of connection to land in which it is grounded.
Download or read book Ten Thousand Years of Cultivation at Kuk Swamp in the Highlands of Papua New Guinea written by Jack Golson and published by ANU Press. This book was released on 2017-07-07 with total page 545 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Kuk is a settlement at c. 1600 m altitude in the upper Wahgi Valley of the Western Highlands Province of Papua New Guinea, near Mount Hagen, the provincial capital. The site forms part of the highland spine that runs for more than 2500 km from the western head of the island of New Guinea to the end of its eastern tail. Until the early 1930s, when the region was first explored by European outsiders, it was thought to be a single, uninhabited mountain chain. Instead, it was found to be a complex area of valleys and basins inhabited by large populations of people and pigs, supported by the intensive cultivation of the tropical American sweet potato on the slopes above swampy valley bottoms. With the end of World War II, the area, with others, became a focus for the development of coffee and tea plantations, of which the establishment of Kuk Research Station was a result. Large-scale drainage of the swamps produced abundant evidence in the form of stone axes and preserved wooden digging sticks and spades for their past use in cultivation. Investigations in 1966 at a tea plantation in the upper Wahgi Valley by a small team from The Australian National University yielded a date of over 2000 years ago for a wooden stick collected from the bottom of a prehistoric ditch. The establishment of Kuk Research Station a few kilometres away shortly afterwards provided an ideal opportunity for a research project.

Download or read book Commercial and Business Organizations Law in Papua New Guinea written by John Mugambwa and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2007-08-07 with total page 890 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A timely and apposite treatise on Papua New Guinea’s economic environment, this book explores business organizations law and various aspects of commercial law in Papua New Guinea in a readable and informative style. Business and commerce is the twin engine that propels the economy of a modern nation. They ensure steady economic growth and development. In an age of globalization, they assume even greater importance than at any other time in human history. A nation risks being marginalized or left behind in the race for a share of the world economic market unless it ensures the stability of its business and commercial sector. Trade regulation, good governance and democratic institutions go hand in hand in guaranteeing political and social equilibrium. As such the laws designed to facilitate trade and commerce are a vital component of the political and social equation. This is a valuable book for law students, legal practitioners, accountants and business executives, not only within Papua New Guinea, but also in Australia and throughout the South Pacific.
