State and society in Papua New Guinea: the first twenty-five years.      ( 141 visites depuis le 22-12-2004 )

Published by ANU E Press The Australian National University Canberra ACT 0200, Australia - EXTRAIT : On the eve of Papua New Guinea's independence in 1975 there were many – both within the country and outside – who predicted political anarchy, with the possibility of an army coup or authoritarian single-party dominance, and economic collapse. Such fears appeared to have been justified when in 1975 both the North Solomons (Bougainville) and Papua unilaterally declared their independence. In fact, however, PNG achieved a smooth transition, and in its first decade as a new state enjoyed a high degree of political and economic progress. It remains one of the few postcolonial states that has maintained an unbroken record of democratic government.
