“…Only the 'Resource Allocation and Extraction' sub-system (Table 1) is described to illustrate the analytical framework. The description of the sub-system under analysis follows Aswani et al [66], Love [92], Llewell [93] and the Vanuatu Fisheries Act [94] as well as extensive regional experience of one of the co-authors (S. Aswani).…”

“…The policy issue is overfishing in coral reefs in certain customary areas referred to as 'dead' nakamal. Vanuatu people define a "dead" nakamal as a specific inshore reef area which lacks direct locally and culturally recognised sea owner descendants and leaders to govern the use and access to them [66,92].…”

“…The resource allocation sub-system in Vanuatu is shaped by relatively recent history, migration, tenure claims, religion and colonisation [66,92]. This indicates that some of the socio-cultural aspects of governance, such as chiefly forms of political hierarchies (or nodal governance), customary management and tenure systems must be understood in order to promote adaptation.…”

“…The assessment is based on interpretation of information derived from regulations [94], peer-review [66,92], and grey [93] literature and was undertaken by the authors (details on expertise of assessors is provided in Appendix C). In Vanuatu both government and customary actors have authority to allocate and control extraction rights of coastal marine resources.…”

Governance mapping: A framework for assessing the adaptive capacity of marine resource governance to environmental change

et al. 2019

A B S T R A C TMarine social-ecological systems are influenced by the way humans interact with their environment, and external forces, which change and re-shape the environment. In many regions, exploitation of marine resources and climate change are two of the primary drivers shifting the abundance and distribution of marine living resources, with negative effects on marine-dependent communities. Governance systems determine 'who' makes decisions, 'what' are their powers and responsibilities, and 'how' they are exercised. Understanding the connections between the actors comprising governance systems and influences between governance and the environment is therefore critical to support successful transitions to novel forms of governance required to deal with environmental changes. The paper provides an analytical framework with a practical example from Vanuatu, for mapping and assessment of the governance system providing for management of coral reef fish resources. The framework enables a rapid analysis of governance systems to identify factors that can encourage, or hinder, the adaptation of communities to changes in abundance or availability of marine resources.

“…This also enables us to shift our analytical lens to the ways in which state power manifests and interacts within particular locales (Mitchell, 2006). At the same time, place is an ontological construct, as people are actively engaged in constructing place (Love, 2016; Stasch, 2010). Sayre (2005: 180–181; 2009) argues it is important to reconcile the observational or ‘epistemological moment’ of scale with its ‘ontological moment’.…”

Place, peace and security in Solomon Islands

This article examines the relationship between place and peace and security in Solomon Islands. Place is understood not only as a geographical location, but as a social, material and symbolic arena where constructions of what constitutes peace and security are continually remade. Place-based constructions of peace and security challenge pervasive spatial assumptions which underpin dominate security discourses about post-conflict Solomon Islands, assumptions which view security as a public good delivered by centralised state institutions to the peripheries. Employing a case study of one particular place, the Gela Group of Islands, this article describes place-based practices, processes, institutions and ideals of peace in contrast to a state ideal of security and argues that far from existing in separate spaces, both place-based and state-based forms of security are in constant interaction and shape each other over time. This article suggests that a way forward in increasing peace and security outcomes in Solomon Islands is to focus on the relationship between place-based forms of security and the state. Doing so acknowledges the political, relational and spiritual worlds of people of place, worlds which fundamentally shape peace and livelihood outcomes, and which require a different understanding of the spatial make-up of the state.
