Kiribati is a remote, small island country with a long history of male temporary migration as a mechanism for relieving unemployment and facilitating remittances. This article looks at a unique case study of female i-Kiribati migration and is based on interviews with a small sample of i-Kiribati women who worked on international cruiseships between 2009-2012, thus providing interesting insight into first-time migration experiences of women from a remote island country. The findings suggest that while the experience did not generally lead to observable changes in their ability to manage remittances, nor in gender relations between husband and wife, employment on the ship did nonetheless have strong reported benefits in terms of independence, skills development and confidence of the women interviewed. These findings corroborate existing literature showing while entrenched gender norms rarely shift directly due to women’s migration experiences, migration does contribute to the women’s empowerment through increased agency and ability to make decisions, both during and after their migration.
基里巴斯是一个偏远的小岛屿国家,长期以来一直将男性临时移徙作为缓解失业和促进汇款的机制。本文着眼于基里巴斯女性移民的独特案例研究,并基于对2009-2012年间在国际游轮上工作的基里巴斯女性的小样本采访,从而为来自偏远岛屿国家的女性首次移民经历提供了有趣的见解。调查结果表明,虽然这一经历通常没有导致她们管理汇款的能力发生明显变化,也没有导致夫妻之间的性别关系发生明显变化,但据报道,在船上工作对受访妇女的独立性、技能发展和信心方面确实有很大的好处。这些发现证实了现有的文献,表明尽管根深蒂固的性别规范很少因妇女的迁移经历而直接改变,但在迁移期间和之后,迁移确实有助于通过增加妇女的能动性和决策能力来赋予妇女权力。

Uncertain Belongings: Relationships, Money and Returned Migrant Workers in Port Vila, Vanuatu 不确定的财产:瓦努阿图维拉港的关系、金钱和返回的移民工人
Pub Date : 2016-01-01 DOI: 10.33318/jpacs.2016.36(1)-2

New Zealand’s Recognised Seasonal Employer (RSE) scheme allows Pacific islanders, including many from Vanuatu, to migrate as temporary agricultural labourers. For government stakeholders, the program’s success can be measured, in no uncertain terms, by the increased consumption of foreign goods and community development projects funded by returned migrants. Yet it is precisely in these terms, of new belongings and one’s sense of belonging, that returnees, especially young men, experience the greatest uncertainty. How should they use the money they earn overseas: to strengthen their kinship networks and communities by sharing their wealth, or to purchase clothes, stereos, cars, or even land, which will belong only to them as individuals? Each strategy has its potential promises and pitfalls, and the outcomes remain uncertain. Will workers who spend on belongings alienate themselves from their kin and island communities? And how might they be forging new kinds of belonging as young urban wage earners? In addition to exploring these questions, this paper suggests that these strategies might inform and inspire relevant policy that is able to better grapple with the very uncertainties the RSE helps to create.
新西兰的认可季节性雇主(RSE)计划允许太平洋岛民,包括许多来自瓦努阿图的人,作为临时农业劳动者移民。对于政府利益相关者来说,该计划的成功可以通过增加外国商品消费和由归国移民资助的社区发展项目来衡量。然而,正是在这些新的财产和归属感方面,海归,尤其是年轻人,经历了最大的不确定性。他们应该如何使用在海外挣来的钱:通过分享财富来加强他们的亲属网络和社区,还是购买只属于他们个人的衣服、音响、汽车甚至土地?每种战略都有其潜在的承诺和缺陷,结果仍然不确定。把钱花在个人物品上的工人会疏远他们的亲属和岛屿社区吗?作为年轻的城市工薪阶层,他们是如何形成新的归属感的?除了探索这些问题之外,本文还建议,这些策略可能会为相关政策提供信息和启发,这些政策能够更好地应对RSE帮助创造的不确定性。

“The Australian colonies displayed expansionist tendencies almost from the beginning” is a pointed statement, and there is evidence that Australia exerted its influence on and expanded its spheres of interest to neighbouring territories in Melanesia and in the Pacific region as a whole almost from the beginning of its existence. This article gives an overview about Australia acting as a hegemonic power in the Pacific Islands before World War I, its engagement in the decades afterwards, and its regional political involvement recently, perceived and interpreted from a European viewpoint.
“澳大利亚殖民地几乎从一开始就表现出扩张主义倾向”是一个尖锐的说法,有证据表明,澳大利亚几乎从一开始就对美拉尼西亚和整个太平洋地区的邻近领土施加影响并扩大其利益范围。本文概述了澳大利亚在第一次世界大战之前在太平洋岛屿上作为霸权国家的行为,其后几十年的参与,以及最近的区域政治参与,从欧洲的角度来感知和解释。

Regulations, Costs and Informality: The Case of Fiji 法规、成本和非正式性:斐济的案例
Pub Date : 2016-01-01 DOI: 10.33318/jpacs.2016.36(2)-4
Dibyendu Maiti, Devendra Narain, Sunil Kumar
Informal sector is considered to be a ‘cushion’ for the majority of workers in the developing world, where the formal sector jobs are limited and social securities for the unemployed do not exist. While the size of the sector is quite large in the developing world, it appears to be relatively low in Fiji even when the economic growth of the country has been abysmally low during the last three decades. This is because the entry requirement to the informal sector has been quite stringent and time consuming, and may have led individuals to either remain unemployed or concentrate on subsistence production. Relative flexibility for entry and running businesses in the informal sector would not only improve the economic condition of the workers, but also overall economic growth. Separate and flexible legislations are, therefore, needed for the informal sector to grow and contribute to the economy.
非正式部门被认为是发展中国家大多数工人的“缓冲”,在那里,正式部门的工作有限,失业者的社会保障也不存在。虽然该部门在发展中世界的规模相当大,但斐济的规模似乎相对较低,即使在过去三十年中该国的经济增长一直非常低。这是因为进入非正规部门的要求相当严格和耗时,可能导致个人要么继续失业,要么集中精力从事维持生计的生产。进入非正规部门和经营企业的相对灵活性不仅会改善工人的经济状况,而且会改善整体经济增长。因此,要使非正规部门增长并对经济作出贡献,就需要单独和灵活的立法。

Internal Migration in the Pacific Islands: a regional overview 太平洋岛屿内部移徙:区域概览
Pub Date : 2016-01-01 DOI: 10.33318/jpacs.2016.36(1)-6
V. Naidu, L. Vaike
Internal migration in the Pacific islands, especially in Melanesia has become more widespread and intense over the last 50 years. However, this movement of people from smaller ‘outer’ islands and interior regions of the larger islands to ‘main’ islands and coastal towns and cities is less documented, and studied when compared to international migration from Pacific Island Countries PICs). This paper seeks to provide an overview of internal migration in PICs using the apparently contradictory standpoints of urban bias theory, and new economic geography as well as by using historical and contemporary information to provide the context of current internal migration trends. It is shown that there are significant gaps in the provision of statistics relating to both inter-provincial migration and urbanization, particularly with regards to gendered information. The paper maintains that with modernization there has been on-going improvement in girls and women’s access to education, and opportunities of employment in the formal sector. As both higher educational and employment opportunities are primarily found in urban areas, the previously male dominated migration patterns are being replaced by movements that exhibit greater gender parity.
太平洋岛屿,特别是美拉尼西亚的内部移徙在过去50年中变得更加广泛和激烈。然而,与来自太平洋岛屿国家的国际移民相比,这种从较小的“外”岛屿和较大岛屿的内陆地区向“主要”岛屿和沿海城镇的人口流动较少被记录和研究。本文试图利用城市偏见理论和新经济地理学的明显矛盾的立场,并通过使用历史和当代信息来提供当前内部迁移趋势的背景,概述PICs的内部迁移。报告显示,在提供有关省际移徙和城市化的统计数据方面,特别是在性别信息方面存在重大差距。该文件认为,随着现代化,女童和妇女接受教育的机会和在正规部门就业的机会不断增加。由于高等教育和就业机会主要在城市地区,以前男性占主导地位的移徙模式正在被表现出更大的性别平等的移徙模式所取代。

Scholarship published by staff and students at the University of the South Pacific has had a profound impact on understandings by researchers of both historical and contemporary transformations in Oceania. This paper contains some reflections by a geographer who has been researching population movement in the region since the mid-1960s. It begins by drawing attention to seminal writing by the late Epeli Hau’ofa in the 1980s and 1990s, and traces the impact of some of Hau’ofa’s messages about regional integration and identity in Oceania in the late 20th and early 21st centuries. Reference is made to another very significant collection of essays by scholars, students, politicians and government officials linked with the USP in 2015 which explores what is being called ‘the new Pacific diplomacy’. Like the discourse generated by Waddell, Naidu and Hau’ofa’s (1993) A New Oceania: Rediscovering our Sea of Islands, ideas reported in Fry and Tarte’s (2015) The New Pacific Diplomacy have the potential to shift thinking about identities, regional co-operation and migration in Oceania.
南太平洋大学工作人员和学生发表的学术成果对研究人员对大洋洲历史和当代变革的理解产生了深远的影响。本文包含了一位从20世纪60年代中期开始研究该地区人口流动的地理学家的一些思考。本文首先将注意力集中在20世纪80年代和90年代晚期埃佩利·豪奥法的开创性著作上,并追溯了20世纪末和21世纪初豪奥法关于大洋洲区域一体化和身份认同的一些信息的影响。参考2015年与USP有关的学者、学生、政治家和政府官员的另一个非常重要的文集,该文集探讨了所谓的“新太平洋外交”。就像Waddell、Naidu和Hau’ofa(1993)的《一个新的大洋洲:重新发现我们的岛屿之海》所产生的话语一样,Fry和Tarte(2015)的《新太平洋外交》(the New Pacific Diplomacy)所报道的观点有可能改变人们对大洋洲身份、区域合作和移民的思考。

Irrigated ethnoagriculture, adaptation and development: a Pacific case study 灌溉民族农业、适应和发展:太平洋地区的案例研究
Pub Date : 2016-01-01 DOI: 10.33318/jpacs.2016.36(2)-10
T. King
The practice of terraced and irrigated creekfield taro (Colocasia esculenta) agriculture was once prevalent in the seasonally-dry regions of many Pacific Islands. This ethnoagricultural system has been characterised as technically sophisticated, intensive, highly productive and ecologically sustainable; with links to social stability and enhanced biodiversity. The food output is highly nutritive. However, despite these advantages, a decline in irrigated terracing has been the historic trend over the last century. Given the decline, the question must be asked: how resilient and sustainable is creekfield ethnoagriculture, especially in a changing world? The late Holocene development of irrigated creekfields was probably advanced by superior characteristics of resilience and adaptation in the face of climate change, but evidence is hindered by lack of research. Conversely, creekfield decline appears to have a strong relationship with the influence of extralocal colonial, modern and globalised development during a historically benign climate period of low agricultural risk – now being replaced by a putatively higher-risk period of vulnerability driven by Anthropocene global warming. An ethnoagricultural case study of Fijian irrigated terrace systems (colloquially called vuci), amid other research from the Pacific, indicates enhanced resilience and increased livelihood stability – characteristics that are needed for adaption to the predicted adverse conditions of the future. The prospects for the revitalization of such systems are discussed. Only some of the reasons for decline are important today, and a developmental reintensification is possible, especially with increased populations and parallel food demands. Innovative technologies can be used to ‘progress with the past’, exemplified by the activities of an NGO which has been reintroducing the ideas and practice of vuci in the Fiji Islands.
梯田和灌溉河田芋头(Colocasia esculenta)农业的做法曾经盛行于许多太平洋岛屿的季节性干旱地区。这种民族农业系统的特点是技术先进、集约化、高产和生态可持续;与社会稳定和增强生物多样性有关。产出的粮食很有营养。然而,尽管有这些优势,灌溉梯田的减少已经成为上个世纪的历史趋势。考虑到产量的下降,我们必须提出一个问题:尤其是在一个不断变化的世界里,小溪田民族农业的弹性和可持续性如何?全新世晚期灌溉区的发展可能是由于其对气候变化具有较强的适应和恢复能力,但由于研究的缺乏,证据不足。相反,在历史上农业风险较低的温和气候时期,溪田的减少似乎与地方外殖民、现代和全球化发展的影响有着密切的关系,而现在正被人类世全球变暖驱动的推定风险较高的脆弱性时期所取代。斐济灌溉梯田系统(通常称为vuci)的民族农业案例研究以及来自太平洋地区的其他研究表明,抗灾能力增强,生计稳定性提高——这些特征是适应预计的未来不利条件所必需的。讨论了恢复这些系统活力的前景。在今天,只有一些导致产量下降的原因是重要的,而在发展方面的重新加强是可能的,特别是在人口增加和粮食需求平行增长的情况下。创新技术可以用来“与过去一起进步”,一个非政府组织的活动就是一个例子,该组织一直在斐济群岛重新介绍vuci的想法和实践。

The effectiveness of the destination websites in promoting linkages between visitors and the community in Tonga 目的地网站在促进游客与汤加社区之间联系方面的有效性
Pub Date : 2016-01-01 DOI: 10.33318/jpacs.2016.36(2)-5
N. Towner
Whilst tourism has brought Tonga potentially significant prospects for job creation and local business ownership, many tourists lack knowledge about the cultural experiences on offer at their holiday destination. This signifies a lost opportunity to form linkages between foreign tourists and the Tongan community. This study analysed the content of 40 Tongan websites to see how effectively they promoted linkages to community based tourism industries. It found the majority of websites had very weak content on local handicrafts, food and cultural events and were ineffective at promoting linkages between tourists and the community, thereby reducing the potential for local community participation in the tourism industry.
虽然旅游业为汤加带来了创造就业机会和当地企业所有权的潜在重大前景,但许多游客对他们度假目的地提供的文化体验缺乏了解。这意味着失去了在外国游客和汤加社区之间建立联系的机会。这项研究分析了40个汤加网站的内容,以了解它们如何有效地促进与社区旅游业的联系。调查发现,大多数网站在当地手工艺品、食品和文化活动方面的内容非常薄弱,无法促进游客与社区之间的联系,从而降低了当地社区参与旅游业的潜力。

Oceanian Journeys and Sojourns. Home thoughts Abroad 大洋洲旅行和逗留。国外的国内思想
Pub Date : 2016-01-01 DOI: 10.33318/jpacs.2016.36(1)-9

While clearly initiated with the intent of celebrating Murray Chapman and the legacy of his work in the fields of human geography and mobility in Oceania, this theoretically and methodologically inspiring volume greatly contributes to the current literature on migration in the Pacific region and globally in more general terms. The collection strongly advocates for what Chapman himself called the need for “alternative manners of thinking” (Chapman, 1995, p.254) about Pacific Islanders’ practices of internal and/or international mobility. An alternative thinking which should centre around the idea of movement as an embodied experience and incorporate local knowledge and socio-cultural relations within its investigation of the determinants and implications of migration in Oceania.
虽然这本书的初衷显然是为了纪念默里·查普曼及其在大洋洲人文地理学和人口流动领域的工作遗产,但从理论上和方法上讲,这本鼓舞人心的书对当前太平洋地区和全球范围内的移民文献做出了巨大贡献。这本合集强烈提倡查普曼自己所说的关于太平洋岛民内部和/或国际流动实践的“替代思维方式”(查普曼,1995,第254页)的需要。另一种思想应该围绕着作为一种具体经验的迁徙思想,并将当地知识和社会文化关系纳入对大洋洲移民的决定因素和影响的调查。
