Anthropology and Tax
From the perspective of individual taxpayers to international tax norm negotiators, the anthropologists in this collection explore how taxes shape our world: our social relationships and value regimes, how we exclude and include, the categories we think with, and the way we share with each other. A first of its kind, it presents an anthropological discussion about tax rooted in ethnographic work. It asks fundamental questions such as: what is tax…
Stateless Persons, Eligible Citizens and Protected Places
The British Nationality Act (BNA) of 1948 was designed to provide a form of supranational citizenship to accommodate the separate nationality provisions that were beginning to proliferate as a result of constitutional change within the late empire, decolonization and the formation of the Commonwealth. Under the provisions of the BNA, members of the Commonwealth would continue to be unified by transnational forms of citizenship, at least in princi…
Lost Files, Forgotten Papers and Colonial Disclosures
Between 2012 and 2013 the British Foreign and Commonwealth Office transferred some 20,000 colonial files from 37 territories to the National Archives in Kew. These ‘Migrated Archives’ had been repatriated to the UK between 1963 and 1994, but only in 2011 were they fully and publicly disclosed as the result of an English court hearing into claims of human rights violations by British authorities during the Mau Mau emergency in Kenya (1952–60). Yet…
The geo‐classifications of colonial statelessness
Anthropological accounts of Vanuatu's independence have emphasised both the materiality of land alienation and the importance of kastom (custom) as a symbol of cultural practice, political resistance and national unity in accounts of decolonisation and postcolonial nation‐making. For 74 years indigenous ni‐Vanuatu were stateless and lacked all forms of citizenship and nationality in the Anglo‐French Condominium of the New Hebrides (1906–1980). Th…
Statelessness, Human Rights and Decolonisation
Citizenship involves both legal status and lived experience. The Condominium of the New Hebrides (Vanuatu) was based on an agreement between France and Britain, which explicitly denied citizenship to the indigenous majority of the archipelago. Indigenous ni-Vanuatu were officially stateless under the terms by which France and Britain jointly governed the New Hebrides from 1906 to 1980. Although forms of citizenship as lived experience were eviden…
Statelessness, Citizenship and Annotated Discriminations
From 1906 to 1980, the Indigenous population of the Southwest Pacific island nation of Vanuatu (New Hebrides) was stateless. They had no citizenship. This contravened the 1948 Universal Declaration of Human Rights asserting that “everyone has the right to a nationality”. After 1948, the New Hebrides joined a number of European colonies that received United Nations scrutiny for racial discrimination, economic negligence and human rights violations…
Taxes and Transnational Treaties
Regulatory dialogue between states with widely diverging tax systems has emerged as a key feature of Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), International Monetary Fund (IMF), and European Union (EU) initiatives on Offshore Finance Centers (OFCs) or tax havens. This has brought together states of differing dimensions in size, population, economy, and power. Where there is such a discrepancy in power between states there is o…
Pacific currents
In the mid-1950s, interest rate differences between US and British banks, regulatory diversity between these two states and Soviet-US Cold War rivalry started to make third-party countries and territories increasingly attractive locations for the depositing and trading of US dollars. As the post-World War II Bretton Woods agreement started to unravel in the 1960s and 1970s, banks, fund managers and wealthy individuals searched for new homes for s…

Contesting Fairness and Fragmenting Groups
This paper explores the relationship between culturally mediated narratives of fairness, conceptions of the state, group and individual identities, citizenship and debates about globalisation in Australian perspectives on tax administration. It is based on a qualitative analysis of 2374 responses to a survey of attitudes to the Australian tax system. This paper emphasises that taxpayer's statements can be read as cultural acts that enrich our und…

Foundations of Urbanisation
Urbanisation in contemporary Melanesia must be understood by examining not only rural to urban migration, but also the ways in which communities adjacent to town have appropriated and participated in urban living. This paper considers the engagement between the village of Pango and the town of Port Vila. This relationship can be understood by mapping the history of Pango prior to the development of Port Vila, and through its subsequent history. T…
Villages, Islands And Tax Havens
L'A. analyse les consequences de la transformation de l'ile de Vanuatu (Melanesie) en paradis fiscal sur la perception et la representation de l'espace des habitants de la zone peri-urbaine de la capitale Port Vila. A partir d'une enquete realisee entre 1995 et 1997 dans le village de Pango, il examine la condition des insulaires, leur sens de l'insularite et de l'isolement geographique dans le contexte de la globalisation financiere. A partir de…
