Autor: Federico Boni

Número de Páginas: 195

Chi si diverte a Capodanno, si sa, lo fa tutto l’anno. È con quest’augurio che quattro amici si incontrano in un ristorante di Roma per festeggiare l’inizio del 2019, ma soprattutto per mandare definitivamente al diavolo il 2018: un anno di storie d’amore naufragate, di botta-e-via primaverili, flirt estivi, scappatelle autunnali e corna invernali. C’è Andrea, critico cinematografico sul web sottopagato e con alle spalle una lunga e tormentata storia d’amore vissuta a Milano. C’è poi Eleonora, l’amica del cuore, frociarola doc che ormai esce solo in locali gay, con disperazione della madre che da tempo la vorrebbe fidanzata e, chissà, anche accasata con tanto di figli. E infine ci sono Marco Culetta, sin dalla nascita segnato da un cognome quanto mai preveggente, bellissimo vincitore di Mister Gay Roma 2012 ma del tutto refrattario alle relazioni durature, e Michelangelo, finanziere, gay insospettabile, che ha scoperto l’amore per lo stesso sesso dieci anni prima proprio grazie ad Andrea. Da quel primo gennaio comincia per loro un anno fatto di nuovi incontri, Festival di Sanremo, disavventure, ma anche bellissime ed emozionanti sorprese. Federico Boni scrive ...

Papua New Guinea

Autor: Don Woolford

Número de Páginas: 201

First published in 1976, Papua New Guinea was the first book to interpret the key events that led to the nation’s independence in 1975. In the book, journalist Don Woolford, a correspondent for the Australian Associated Press in Papua New Guinea, describes the ferment and excitement of the 1960s and 1970s, chronicling the former Australian territory’s political development from the first general election for a representative House of Assembly in 1964 through independence. Key figures in the transition, including Michael Somare, John Guise, Albert Maori Kiki, and Josephine Abaijah, make an appearance and their contributions are analyzed adroitly. Woolford’s access to these and other important individuals, as well as to literature produced for the moment that is no longer available, make this an inimitable and invaluable record of the remarkable years that led to the creation of the nation of Papua New Guinea.

Rethinking Judicial Power in Papua New Guinea

Autor: Bal Kama

Número de Páginas: 221

This book examines the role and nature of the judiciary in Papua New Guinea (PNG), the first comprehensive study since the country's independence in 1975. It challenges the traditional view of the judiciary as solely a legal entity, arguing for its broader social and political functions. Critiquing assumptions inherited from British and Australian colonial thinking, it discusses how decolonisation has redefined judicial power, enabling courts to have a more transformative role. Introducing transformative constitutionalism into Australian-Pacific legal thinking, the book argues that PNG has a transformative constitution defined by its intent for reform, extensive Charter of Rights, and a liberal judiciary—features not found in other Pacific constitutions. Given the region's challenges such as corruption, political instability, and climate change, the book advocates for a more proactive role for the judiciary. It proposes a re-evaluation of the classical tripartite doctrine of separation of powers, advocating for a quadripartite model in PNG where the judiciary has a broader reformative function and the independent constitutional institutions constitute a fourth arm of government. ...

Fast Money Schemes

Autor: John Cox

Número de Páginas: 266

In the late 1990s and early 2000s a wave of Ponzi schemes swept through Papua New Guinea, Australia, and the Solomon Islands. The most notorious scheme, U-Vistract, attracted many thousands of investors, enticing them with promises of 100 percent interest to be paid monthly. Its founder, Noah Musingku, was a charismatic leader who promoted the scheme as a form of Christian mission and as the basis for establishing an independent kingdom. Fast Money Schemes uses in-depth interviews with investors, newspaper accounts, and participant observation to understand the scheme's appeal from the point of view of those who invested and lost, showing that organizers and investors alike understood the scheme as a way of accessing and participating in a global economy. John Cox delivers a "post-village" ethnography that gives insight into the lives of urban, middle-class Papua New Guineans, a group that is not familiar to US readers and that has seldom been a focus of anthropological interest. The book's concern with understanding the interweaving of morality, finance, and aspirations shared by a global cosmopolitan middle class has wide resonance beyond studies of Papua New Guinea and...

Autor: Freedom House

Número de Páginas: 894

Freedom in the World, the Freedom House flagship survey whose findings have been published annually since 1972, is the standard-setting comparative assessment of global political rights and civil liberties. The survey ratings and narrative reports on 195 countries and 14 territories are used by policymakers, the media, international corporations, civic activists, and human rights defenders to monitor trends in democracy and track improvements and setbacks in freedom worldwide. The Freedom in the World political rights and civil liberties ratings are determined through a multi-layered process of research and evaluation by a team of regional analysts and eminent scholars. The analysts used a broad range of sources of information, including foreign and domestic news reports, academic studies, nongovernmental organizations, think tanks, individual professional contacts, and visits to the region, in conducting their research. The methodology of the survey is derived in large measure from the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, and these standards are applied to all countries and territories, irrespective of geographical location, ethnic or religious composition, or level of economic ...

Hérodote

Autor: Collectif

Número de Páginas: 212

Recoupant d’emblée les champs qui seront ceux de la géographie, de l’ethnographie, de l’histoire et même de la philosophie de l’histoire, fascinée à la fois par l’altérité et par la diversité des peuples et des coutumes, l’Enquête hérodotéenne dialogue sans cesse avec les autres genres et les autres modes de pensée que l’Antiquité nous a légués. Après d’autres travaux, individuels et collectifs, ce recueil d’essais a cherché à cerner les modalités et les enjeux de ce dialogue, mais en y ajoutant celui qui s’est instauré entre Hérodote et ses lecteurs, admiratifs ou critiques, de l’Antiquité jusqu’à nos jours. L’Enquête est donc ici mise en rapport avec l’épopée, la pensée ionienne, le théâtre athénien, mais aussi confrontée à des lectures aussi différentes que celles de Lucien dans l’Antiquité, de Montaigne à la Renaissance et, tout près de nous, de Ryszard Kapuściński ou de Claude Lévi-Strauss. Qu’il s’agisse des grandes questions anthropologiques posées par tout effort de compréhension et de représentation de l’autre ou des choix narratifs qu’implique toute tentative d’écrire l’histoire, cet...

Pacific Power?

Autor: Joanne Wallis

Número de Páginas: 237

Australia is much larger and has significantly more military and economic power than its Pacific Island neighbours. As a result, it is frequently described as having a natural right to lead in the region. Yet, Australia has found it difficult to effectively influence Pacific Island states in pursuit of its strategic interests. It provides the definitive account of how, and how effectively, Australia has sought to influence Pacific Island states in pursuit of its strategic interests since 1975, the year that Papua New Guinea, Australia's former colonial territory, gained independence. Informed by interviews with key decision makers, Pacific Power? analyses why Australia has had difficulty exercising influence in the Pacific Islands and identifies how Australia can more effectively influence Pacific Island states in pursuit of its strategic interests, and how Australia can present itself more as a Pacific partner than power.

The Veiled Sceptre

Autor: Anne Twomey

Número de Páginas: 913

This book is a comprehensive review and analysis of the reserve powers and their exercise by heads of state in countries that have Westminster systems. It addresses the powers of the Queen in the United Kingdom, those of her vice-regal representatives, and those of heads of state in the less studied realms and former colonies that are now republics. Drawing on a vast range of previously unpublished archival and primary material, The Veiled Sceptre contains fresh perspectives on old controversies. It also reveals constitutional crises in small countries, which have escaped the notice of most scholars. This book places the exercises of reserve powers within the context of constitutional principle and analyses how heads of state should act when constitutional principles conflict. Providing an unrivalled contemporary analysis of reserve powers, it will appeal to constitutional scholars worldwide and others involved in the administration of systems of responsible government.

Election 2007

Autor: R.j. May , Ray Anere , Nicole Haley , Katherine Wheen

Número de Páginas: 538

Papua New Guinea’s general election in 2007 attracted particular interest for several reasons. Not only did it follow what was widely acknowledged as the country’s worst election ever, in 2002 (in which elections in six of the country’s 109 electorates were declared to be ‘failed elections’), it was the first general election to be held under a new limited preferential voting system. It also followed the first full parliamentary term under the Organic Law on the Integrity of Political Parties and Candidates, which had been introduced in 2001 in an attempt to strengthen political parties and create a greater degree of stability in the national parliament, and was the first to embrace a ‘whole-of-government’ approach to electoral administration, through an Interdepartmental Electoral Committee. This volume provides an analysis of the 2007 election, drawing on the work of a domestic monitoring team organized through the National Research Institute, and several visiting scholars. It addresses key issues such as voter education, electoral administration, election security, the role of political parties, women as candidates and voters, the shift to limited preferential...

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.

Framing the Islands

Autor: Greg Fry

Número de Páginas: 419

Since its origins in late eighteenth-century European thought, the idea of placing a regional frame around the Pacific islands has never been just an exercise in geographical mapping. This framing has always been a political exercise. Contending regional projects and visions have been part of a political struggle concerning how Pacific islanders should live their lives. Framing the Islands tells the story of this political struggle and its impact on the regional governance of key issues for the Pacific such as regional development, resource management, security, cultural identity, political agency, climate change and nuclear involvement. It tells this story in the context of a changing world order since the colonial period and of changing politics within the post-colonial states of the Pacific. Framing the Islands argues that Pacific regionalism has been politically significant for Pacific island states and societies. It demonstrates the power associated with the regional arena as a valued site for the negotiation of global ideas and processes around development, security and climate change. It also demonstrates the political significance associated with the role of Pacific...
