Long-range leaders in Melanesia: Why you need to know about them

Research output: Other contribution

Abstract

For outsiders looking in, the Pacific might appear the focus of intense geopolitical competition. But for Pacific Island communities themselves, electoral results for decades make it clear that local issues are what counts. And understanding local governance in Melanesia increasingly requires attention to the role of “long-range leaders”.
