This dissertation examines the production of knowledge around global climate change and the character of environmental literacy among youth in Tafuna, on Tutuila, American Samoa. I analyze this production of environmental knowledge across multiple social fields (i.e. status hierarchies, governance structures, etc.) and subjectivities (school-specific, village-based, and Samoan cultural identities) during a period of social, political, economic, and environmental transformation. I interrogate the emerging forms of control that have come to structure the formal educational system in American Samoa, such as standardized or "containerized" curriculum, assessment and accountability measures, and the assignation of risk/creation of dependency on funding, deployed by American governmental agencies such as the Department of Education, and utilized by state actors such as the American Samoa Department of Education. Of particular concern is the how these structures create contradictions that affect the possibilities of teaching, learning, and the integration of youth into meaningful social roles. Informal learning about the environment includes village-based forms of service, church initiatives concerning the environment, governmental agency programming, such as that provided by the American Samoa Environmental Protection Agency, and youth-serving non-profit programs concerned with engaging youth as leaders. In both these formal and informal contexts for environmental education, American Samoan youth dynamically co-create knowledge within and outside the parameters of the socialization processes in which they are embedded. This research encompassed four trips to American Samoa over the course of three years, and utilized ethnographic fieldwork, including participant observation, interviews, questionnaires, archival research, and demographic data analysis, as the primary forms of data gathering. What this data reveals is the disengagement American Samoan youth feel for school-based environmental education because their science classes, as structured, do not integrate the co-relatedness of the social, the political, and the environmental fields that youth encounter. I discovered that youth are largely ambivalent about their future aspirations because they lack some of the cultural, linguistic, and educational tools necessary for local participation as well as for opportunities to study and work on Hawaii or the mainland United States. Lastly, I found that American educational ideals continue to be contradictory in the American Samoan context; whereas schools value and promote individually-oriented goals and responsibility, youth are also embedded in the values of communal identification and practice known as fa'a Samoa. I conclude that young people lack social integration and plan for a future away from American Samoa.

Full textUsed for the first time during the sixties in the South Pacific, the notion of Associated State is a singular form of State. Originally conceived by the United Nations as a path between the independence from another State on the one hand and the integration into this State on the other hand, the Associated State became a sustainable form to organize the political power. This form of political organisation has been chosen by five territories to assert their own identity but also, to establish a particular link with another State, the Partner State. Induced by the notion of Associated State, the relationship between the Associated State and the Partner State questions our classical representation of the State: the Nation-State. Because the Associated State is a fully form of State but a singular one, a research, centred on this singular form of State, is the occasion to put into perspective the categories classically used in a General theory of the State. Indeed, it has been built for complex societies where the sovereignty is a delegated one and where it is institutionalized by an associative constitution. Hence, thinking the Associated State is a way to open new fields of thought and discussion to think the evolution of the State in a globalized world heavily influenced by increasing interactions

Full textThis work is a study of the Maori and Pacific Islander diaspora in Australia and its relationship to the Aboriginal community, the tangata whenua (people of the land). What has emerged from my research into Maori in Australia - a contact which began over two hundred years ago - is that for many Maori, Australia is now their home. Until approximately twenty-five years ago, Pacific Islanders did not migrate to Australia in significant numbers, preferring to move to New Zealand from the home islands. However, the economic decline in New Zealand has prompted greater migration of Pacific Islanders here, and this is now one of Australia’s fastest growing immigrant groups. This thesis offers a perspective on the struggles that have transpired within the broader Pasifika community, with its diverse views, opinions and positions from an insider perspective. It will then explore this community’s relationship with Aboriginal people in a series of contemporary settings. In order to place this work in a cultural and historical context, there is an account of early contact between Maori and Australian colonial authorities from l792. There is an overview of the divergent political experiences of Indigenous people in Australia and New Zealand from this early point. This is followed by an explanation of the early Maori migration to Australia in the 1960s and 70s. The rise of global revolutionary and resistance movements are discussed in relation to the activism of both Maori and Aboriginal people during this period, and the support they gave each other. The later chapters will explore the deterioration of this relationship since the 1990s, as the spirit of collectivism and pan-Indigenous unity has, arguably, diminished under the weight of neoliberalism. These chapters provide analysis of qualitative interviews with thirty-two Aboriginal and Polynesian participants. There is focus on the significant tensions between these two groups via rivalries in certain urban spaces, specifically in Logan, a south-eastern suburb of Brisbane. However, this thesis also explores more positive contemporary relationships between these two groups through the lens of the popular cultures of music and sport.

Full textDespite having some of the highest figures in the world in relation to obesity-related disease and premature death from preventable illnesses, Polynesians are not responding to Western biomedical suggestions for lifestyle interventions. The reasons behind this apparent reluctance are extensively explored in this thesis. Although there is a focus on health, in particular, obesity in this population group, this thesis also highlights the interaction between class and culture in all aspects of people’s lives. The challenge of maintaining consocial family values, identity and cultural practices in a new country and how these are adapting and changing is discussed, as well as issues around education, work practices and gender roles. This thesis, therefore, gives an overview of socio-economic and cultural issues affecting the growing Polynesian migrant community in Australia. This work has application for health professionals, policy makers, teachers, academics and community workers.

Recently, EU attempting to lift the arms embargo on PRC since Tiananmen incident 1989, 17 years ago. Not only lifting the arms embargo’s motivation has strategic and interested factor but also the PRC---EU relations becoming variable. Although the U.S. and EU are traditional allies, but it does not represent U.S. and EU have common view in all fields. For example, Iran’s nuclear incident is the one. Like U.S. ---EU relations, after American’s combat terrorism military operations, PRC and EU want to restrict the U.S.. But the trend also does not represent PRC and EU want to challenge the U.S. like USSR in cold war. Even though the U.S. has the purpose to improve the relations between PRC and EU. Its international cooperative manner still wants to carry through the tough diplomacy and maintain its international status. Therefore, the relations between PRC, EU and the U.S. are variable but tolerant, in addition to competitive and cooperative, even associate and restrained. Asia Pacific zone is the world’s center but the Cross-straight situation threats the security of Asia Pacific zone. While PRC control the military, political and economic power among Cross- straight. Understanding the change of PRC’s arms sources and observing the rise of PRC have really become new military security threat to Asia Pacific zone. This study through Game theory and Commitment strategy analyses to interpret the relations between the PRC, EU and the U.S.. In order to discover why EU attempts to lift the arms embargo on PRC and its real metaphor. Therefore, our country will have more abilities to select precise policy to improve our international status.

Full textAfter the cold war and mainly in the last years, North American strategic approach has been gradually sidestepped from the Atlantic and, therefore, enhanced in Asia Pacific region. This is due to the accelerated economic growth of both PRC and emerging countries and also to the growing of the geostrategic and geopolitics value which this region has been assuming first and foremost since the decade of 1990. As a big chunk of the world’s trade takes place in this region, Taiwan Straits has become a crucial position towards strategic, political and military control of Asia Pacific region for world powers. This delicate matter places both states in a competitive and confront climate.
