“…The non-coercive external threats include inducements such as government advertising contracts, which could act as a leverage to influence news coverage, especially in the Pacific, where both advertising sources and revenue are limited. The state, as a central player in the small Pacific economies (see Chen & Singh, 2017;Chen et al, 2020) becomes a major advertiser through the various ministries, state corporations and other state-linked enterprises.…”

This article advances discussions on media freedom and media development in Melanesia through the introduction of an ‘external’ and ‘internal’ threats analytical framework. Singling out the challenges and categorising them into these two main groups provides a clearer picture of the issues at stake, the links between them, and the need to address the situation holistically. External threats emanating from outside the media sector are often seen as more serious, and they often overshadow internal threats, which come from within the media sector. This article argues that both sets of threats have serious impacts on media and journalism in their own ways, and that both should be regarded equally. Furthermore, the linkages between these threats mean that one cannot be properly addressed without addressing the other. A key outcome of this discussion is a clearer understanding of how little control the media have over both external and internal threats, and how stakeholder support is needed to overcome some of the issues. Because good journalism benefits the public, this article argues for increased public support for high-quality journalism that delivers a public benefit.

“…The economics literature on island nations and small states 1 is quite large. Topics run the gamut from economic growth, to investment, trade, agriculture, fishing, migration, to tourism (Chen and Singh 2016, Jayaraman et al 2016, Casey and Hamilton 2014, Schiff 2014, Mahadevan and Asafu-Adjaye 2013, Schiff and Wang 2013, Jayaraman and Lau 2011, Hansen and Headey 2010, Gani and Clemes 2010, Narayan et al 2010, Chowdhury 2008, Prasad 2008, Seetanah et al 2008, Kida 2005, Fairbairn 2002). On the subject of growth, there seems to be what we would consider three glaring omissions.…”

The authors of this paper have attempted to fill a gap in the literature that addresses both domestic and foreign born growth volatility for island countries and small states. Using a sophisticated dynamic panel framework, we find that the characteristics of both types of volatility are considerably different than they are for other countries. Our results argue against the prevailing wisdom regarding volatility that these two groups should simply mimic the economic policies of other nations.
