"...As these facts suggest, it is hard to escape the conclusion that we are today witnessing the progressive 'Africanisation' of the South Pacific region. 'Africanisation' refers to four inter-related phenomena that have long been associated with violent conflict and the failure of democratic government in Africa:
* the growing tensions in the relationship between civil regimes and military forces;
* the intermixture between ethnic identity and the competition for control of natural resources as factors driving conflicts;
* the weakness of basic institutions of governance such as prime ministers, parliaments and, especially, political parties; and
* the increasing centrality of the state as a means of gaining wealth and of accessing and exploiting resources...."
Abstract (Document Summary)
Recent crises in Oceania, especially the military coups, civil wars, and armed secession movements in ethnically-diverse Melanesia in the southwest Pacific, have inspired a new wave of criticisms of indigenous regimes and cultures by metropolitan aid donors and security experts. As outside peacekeepers withdrew from Bougainville in 2003, ending its fifteen-year secession dispute with Papua New Guinea (PNG), other foreign military and police forces arrived in the war-torn Solomon Islands and publicly displayed their modern weaponry. Australian Prime Minister John Howard, with support from New Zealand, the United Nations and the Pacific Forum, has vowed not to fail his Pacific neighbors, where he says economic collapse, government corruption, and lawlessness require remedial action. Ben Reilly, of the National Centre for Development Studies (NCDS) in Canberra, has said, we are today witnessing the progressive Africanisation of the South Pacific region. French geographer Francois Doumenge has applied that same racial label to Melanesia, which he calls a black hole, arguing that violent vendettas are a distinctive trait of the dark-skinned Melanesian peoples, which the Anglo-Saxon (British and Australian) removal of colonial constraints has allowed to resurface: Order based on positive law is a notion foreign to Melanesian societies.

As a writer he is a founding member of the Ego Trip crew, and holds it down every month in XXL. But Jeff Mao is also a DJ with deep crates, as he proved with this incredible set of 80's rarities. How many of these songs you can name?

JOHN DOE POPULAR FALLACIES (TRUE LIES)
John Doe is one of Cincinnati's foremost mixmasters, boasting membership in both the preeminent local turntable team, 1200 Hobos, and the national collective, Uneasy Alliance. On his latest "mixtape" release, the brilliant Popular Fallacies (True Lies), Doe shows an undying devotion to the art of turntablism and the history of Hip Hop in general. Fluidity is the key to a great mix album, and Doe's delivery is faucet-like, oozing forth like the soundtrack to the greatest party ever. Doe seems to have an encyclopedic knowledge of Hip Hop, instinctively dropping recognizable and obscure samples at just the right moment and tastily blending a plethora of varied beats with the tastemaking ingenuity of a master chef. It's Doe's organizational instinct that is most impressive on Fallacies, as he lovingly crafts each moment like a scholarly Jazz arranger. It's a lot to reel in, but Doe makes it all sound natural. In Doe's world, everyone's invited to the party, as Ted Koppel, Grandpa Simpson, Foreigner and Jack Nicholson mingle comfortably with A Tribe Called Quest, Public Enemy and James Brown. Cherish your invite. (MB) Grade: A +

THE COCONUT REVOLUTION
Director: Dom Rotheroe
2002.UK
Bows and arrows against helicopter gunships, and bows win - with a little help from the coconut. This is Bougainville, a small island off the coast of Papua New Guinea and the site of the world's first successful ecological revolution. The world paid no attention when in the sixties the British company Rio Tinto Zinc bulldozed jungle in Bougainville and proceeded to dig the word's largest open-cast mine. Then in 1989 the indigenous inhabitants launched a remarkable and ultimately victorious revolt. Dodging bullets and evading the gunboat blockade that encircled the small island, filmmaker Dom Rotheroe documented this David and Goliath story of the 21st century.
