How can individuals determine the success of statecraft
This article examines the micro-level dynamics shaping contemporary statecraft in the Pacific Islands region, demonstrating the importance of individuals to the success of statecraft efforts. Existing analyses of statecraft largely privilege macro-level perspectives that treat states as unitary actors, overlooking the fact that people interact not with abstract policies but with the individuals who enact them. Indeed, relationships, networks, and…
Pacific Ontological (in)Security in the Shadow of Trump’s Deportation Agenda
Although it is increasingly well-recognized that ontological security manifests across multiple levels of analysis, different levels are rarely examined concurrently through the same event. By undertaking a multi-level Ontological Security Studies (OSS) analysis using various perspectives of one particular issue, we can nuance our understanding of cross-border, multi-actor issues like migration, and consider how insecurities operate and are respo…
Deter, detain, deport and demonise
Crimmigration, the intertwining of immigration and criminal law, has become a feature of many legal systems around the world, but its application in Australia is noteworthy due to its ever-increasing harsh, hard-line approach. We argue that the Australian crimmigration model is comprised of three key facets: deterrence (to ‘stop the boats’); indefinite and/or offshore detention; and deportation. All are predicated upon the underlying driver of a …

There’s No Such Place as “Away
There is no such place as “away” for material waste due to the scientific principle of conservation of matter. We argue that there is also no such place as “away” for people who have been deported, including to Pacific Islands, and highlight the flaw in the dehumanizing metaphor of people deported for having committed criminal activity as waste to be disposed of. By tracing the linguistic metaphor of dumping waste in its use as it is applied to d…
Passports, Prosperity and Problems
Citizenship by Investment (CBI) schemes – programs facilitating foreign nationals to purchase citizenship – can help governments of the Global South raise essential revenue. They can also exacerbate and facilitate corruption and undermine security, which has led to some Western governments taking action against countries that operate CBI schemes. To date, there has been scant research on the discursive contexts that shape geopolitical narratives …
Challenging colonial logics of habit in Australiaʼs economic statecraft with Pacific Islands
When Australia deploys tools of statecraft in attempts to develop influence with Pacific Island neighbours, inherent colonial legacies exist which are not always recognised, but ultimately affect relationships. We examine Australian economic tools of statecraft applied to migration, trade and development aid, and how a colonial ‘logic of habit’ persists within their deployment which unintentionally undermines their effectiveness. In highlighting …
Deportation as a neo-colonial act
Tā, Vā, and Lā
Oceanic perspectives seldom appear in the geopolitical discourse of metropolitan powers, and the agency of Pacific Island states and peoples is often overlooked. Inspired by calls from political geographers for ‘a more ambitious geopolitical imagination’ (Sharp, 2013), and from Oceanic scholars ‘to examine indigenous epistemologies, ontologies and cosmological ideas and philosophes so that global conversations include local and indigenous underst…
Security cooperation in the Pacific Islands
In the 2018 Boe Declaration, Pacific Islands Forum leaders recognized that the region is facing ‘an increasingly complex regional security environment’ and committed to ‘strengthening the existing regional security architecture’. Given uncertainty about the existence and nature of this architecture, we address the question: is there a security architecture in the region, or does security cooperation take a different shape? We find that security c…
The implications of Covid-19 for security in the Pacific Islands
The geographic isolation of Pacific states and people has meant that the region has managed to avoid the direct consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic. But the indirect consequences have nevertheless been significant. This article attempts to answer the question: what are the implications of the COVID-19 pandemic for understanding security in the Pacific Islands? To do this it considers three key questions. First, what does the COVID-19 pandemic r…
Dealing with the 'Crimmigrant Other' in the Face of a Global Public Health Threat
While global travel largely stopped and borders closed during the COVID-19 pandemic, states continued to deport individuals who had been sentenced for committing criminal offences. In Australia and New Zealand, questions over whether and how deportation of migrants during a global pandemic should occur were raised: weighing up arguments of legality, public health, and security. This left many migrants uncertain, isolated in immigration detention …
