Sommario/riassunto |
|
The relationship between customary land tenure and ‘modern’ forms of landed property has been a major political issue in the ‘Spearhead’ states of Melanesia since the late colonial period, and is even more pressing today, as the region is subject to its own version of what is described in the international literature as a new ‘land rush’ or ‘land grab’ in developing countries. This volume aims to test the application of one particular theoretical framework to the Melanesian version of this phenomenon, which is the framework put forward by Derek Hall, Philip Hirsch and Tania Murray Li in their 2011 book, Powers of Exclusion: Land Dilemmas in Southeast Asia. Since that framework emerged from studies of the agrarian transition in Southeast Asia, the key question addressed in this volume is whether ‘land transformations’ in Melanesia are proceeding in a similar direction, or whether they take a somewhat different form because of the particular nature of Melanesian political economies or social institutions. The contributors to this volume all deal with this question from the point of view of their own direct engagement with different aspects of the land policy process in particular countries. Aside from discussion |

of the agrarian transition in Melanesia, particular attention is also paid to the growing problem of land access in urban areas and the gendered nature of landed property relations in this region. |

mot adéquat, ils se livrent chacun à une écriture critique, toujours partagée entre création et commentaire, œuvre et essai, justice et justesse. Mais le mot juste existe-t-il ? N’est-il pas plutôt à entendre comme un paradoxe qui admet et refuse dans le même temps toute parole ? Car parler ne suffit en effet peut-être jamais à dire ce que l’on voudrait dire. Loin de se limiter au seul problème lexical, s’interroger sur le mot juste devient ainsi l’occasion de redéfinir l’acte d’écrire sinon d’en tracer une histoire renouvelée. Nœud dialectique, le mot juste ne semble laisser place dans ses tentatives qu’à une langue négative qui ne trouve pas ses mots. D’impropriétés en impropriétés, chercher le mot juste revient en définitive à mettre un nom pour en finir sans pour autant hélas parvenir à sortir de la page noire, là où toute langue ne se dit qu’à demi-mot. Parce que, depuis son impuissance fondatrice qu’il entend conjurer, le mot juste ne cesse d’adresser cette interrogation peut-être insoluble : et si l’écriture était toujours l’écriture moins l’écriture ? |

Sommario/riassunto |
|
This examination of how basic social services, particularly education, health and water, can be financed and delivered more effectively departs from the dominant macro-economic paradigm. Drawing on their own broad-ranging research at UNICEF and UNDP, the authors argue that fiscal, monetary, and other macro-economic policies for poverty reduction, human development and economic growth can be compatible with micro-level interventions to provide basic social services. Policymakers have more flexibility than is usually assumed to engage in macro-economic and growth-oriented policies that can also expand human capabilities and fulfill human rights. More than just more aid is needed. Strategic shifts in aid policy, decentralized governance, health and education and the private-public mix in service provision are a prerequisite to achieve the goals of human development and to eliminate human poverty within a generation. |
