The Coconut War was the nickname for the rebellion on Espiritu Santo in 1979-80. The rebellion was not against the colonial powers, rather it was against the nascent government of Vanuatu. The French "Moderates" party wanted more say in the new government, including a slower path to Independence and stronger French culture in the new government. In an ironic play on their name of Moderates, they attacked the provincial government in Tanna and Espiritu Santo and declared Espiritu Santo and the northern islands the independent nation of Vemarana. But in 1980 it was the scene of a bizarre conflict, when a tribal leader called Jimmy Stevens, supported by an army of bow and arrow warriors, took over one of the northern islands and tried to break away from the powers of Britain and France. The British sent in their troops; the French theirs. But Jimmy and his men held firm. Award-winning journalist Richard Shears traveled to what was then known as the New Hebrides and became caught up in a most curious state of affairs, comic and tragic. It is doubtful that the Pacific will ever see anything like this kind of madness again. The author was dispatched to cover the story at the beginning of the conflict. The book is a chronicle of his adventures trying to find and then report on the Coconut War.

"The so-called Coconut War began on 27 May 1980 when a rebel faction took control of the island of Espiritu Santo. British Commando Royal Marines, combat police from the French Garde Mobile and Papua New Guinean troops invaded the New Hebrides, prepared to do battle with an army of bow and arrow warriors led by Jimmy Stevens, an aging village chief. It began as a light-hearted affair and ended in tragedy less than 4 months later with the arrest of Jimmy and the death of his son. In the first account of the war Richard Shears describes the sad-funny story of one man's defiant stand against the might of Britain, France and the local authorities. He also presents a sardonic picture of how the press dealt with the crisis that briefly captures the world's attention." --Back cover.

Santo, the largest island in the South Pacific nation of Vanuatu, is an extraordinary geographical and cultural microcosm, combining reefs, caves, mountains, and satellite isles--with human history that dates back 3,000 years. Collecting contributions from more than one hundred authors, The Natural History of Santo is the result of a 2006 Santo expedition, which brought together scientists, volunteers, and students from twenty-five countries. This lavishly illustrated book pays homage to the biodiversity of this "planet-island" and bridges the gaps between scientific knowledge, conservation, and education.

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.

The nations of the Pacific Basin - in East and Southeast Asia, Australasia, the Pacific islands and the Americas - make up the world's largest economic zone, and its most culturally diverse region. In recent years its Asian 'Tiger Economies' have suffered economic collapse and unfinished business from the Cold War has produced continuing conflict and instability. The new edition of this pioneering book traces the postwar inter-relationships of all the rim and island nations. It gives a unique impression of the make-up of the region, and the tensions within it. The book integrates a wide range of information from books and articles; from published and unpublished sources, including recently opened Russian and American archives; and from the first-hand experiences of participants, including those of the author, in Pacific Basin affairs. Vigorously written and strongly argued, no other account brings together all the threads of the development of international relations in this complex and fascinating region.

Populism and the personalization of politics appears to be threatening the existence of democracy as we know it all over the world. It is now more important than ever to understand the history of this form of regime: why it has thrives and fails. But, existing studies are limited by their focus on a few large and predominately rich states. This book takes the opposite approach: it investigates how politics is practiced in the smallest states where hyper-personalization has always been a ubiquitous feature of political life. It optimistically finds that hyper-personalized democracy can actually persist against all odds, but also cautions that political practices in small states are often markedly different to larger states. Oxford Studies in Democratization is a series for scholars and students of comparative politics and related disciplines. Volumes concentrate on the comparative study of the democratization process that accompanied the decline and termination of the cold war. The geographical focus of the series is primarily Latin America, the Caribbean, Southern and Eastern Europe, and relevant experiences in Africa and Asia. The series editor is Laurence Whitehead, Senior Research Fellow, Nuffield College, University of Oxford.
