Sommario/riassunto |
|
A benchmark reference survey of the political parties of the Pacific: an invaluable resource for students, scholars and researchers of the Pacific and international politics. Focusing on the political systems of East Timor, Papua New Guinea, Solomon Islands, Vanuatu, New Caledonia, Fiji and Samoa, the coherent structure of the volume makes it consistently useful as both an articulate analytical text and as a reference tool concerning the political composition, history and direction of Pacific states. |
