Book Description
This volume summarizes the findings of the Harvard Solomon Islands medical-anthropological expeditions of the late 1960s and early 1970s, and presents the results of subsequent surveys of the same populations a decade later. The Harvard expeditions amassed extensive anthropological, genetic, and health data on over 3,000 individuals living in eight varied groups in these southwest Pacific islands. At the time, the Solomons were only marginally affected by world culture and technological advances. Particular strengths of this collection include genetic distance studies, longitudinal studies in blood pressure change and associated changes in body build, a prospective study of hepatitis B status and mortality, and an overview of epidemiological trends with modernization.

Pillars and Shadows
Author: John Braithwaite
Publisher: ANU E Press
ISBN: 192166679X
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 213
Book Description
This volume of the Peacebuilding Compared Project examines the sources of the armed conflict and coup in the Solomon Islands before and after the turn of the millennium. The Regional Assistance Mission to Solomon Islands (RAMSI) has been an intensive peacekeeping operation, concentrating on building 'core pillars' of the modern state. It did not take adequate notice of a variety of shadow sources of power in the Solomon Islands, for example logging and business interests, that continue to undermine the state's democratic foundations. At first RAMSI's statebuilding was neither very responsive to local voices nor to root causes of the conflict, but it slowly changed tack to a more responsive form of peacebuilding. The craft of peace as learned in the Solomon Islands is about enabling spaces for dialogue that define where the mission should pull back to allow local actors to expand the horizons of their peacebuilding ambition.
