State and Society in Papua New Guinea
Author: Ronald James May
Publisher:
ISBN: 9781850656012
Category : Papua New Guinea
Languages : en
Pages : 450
Book Description
On the eve of Papua New Guinea's independence in 1975, there were many 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 the North Solomons (Bougainville) and Papua unilaterally declared their independence. Fortunately, PNG underwent 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 governance.
