In the latest Podcast from the State, Society and Governance in Melanesia Program (SSGM), Nic Maclellan “discusses the capacity of United Nations agencies, the Pacific Islands Forum and other regional organisations to advance decolonisation initiatives in the region” with specific reference to the new Pacific Plan. He “highlights policy dilemmas for Canberra, as Australia extends its strategic partnerships with France and the United States, at the same time as Fiji and the Melanesian Spearhead Group are taking a more active and independent role on regional and international issues.” [this 45 minute podcast is introduced by Prof. Stewart Firth and was recorded at a public seminar given at the ANU on 7 May 2013]
