Plural Policing and Access to Justice in Pacific Small Island Developing States
Small Island Developing States (SIDS) present unique challenges and opportunities for law enforcement. Characteristics such as strong communal ties, social and cultural norms, limited state visibility, and strained resources impact the interpretation and application of state laws. At the same time, local legitimacy is often found in community-oriented approaches to policing and tailored law enforcement responses through parallel policing systems.…
Rohingya participatory media in protracted displacement
This article examines Voice of Palong (VoP), a participatory audio-visual media initiative co-produced by Rohingya refugees and the Bangladeshi host community in Cox’s Bazar camps. Based on focus groups and field observations from 2023 to 2025, the study analyzes how VoP operates not simply as a communication project but as a relational media infrastructure through which counterpublic formations are assembled under conditions of displacement, sur…
Navigating policing and work-life balance in the South Pacific
Policing in the South Pacific is influenced by a myriad of factors including cultural norms, historical legacies, socio-economic disparities, and geopolitical dynamics. Against this backdrop, law enforcement officers face multifaceted challenges in reconciling the demands of their profession with personal and familial obligations. This article discusses the challenges faced by police officers as they attempt to balance their professional and pers…
Globalisation and policing in Tuvalu
Global influences on policing are not a recent development. The legacy of colonisation is evident in contemporary police organisations and justice systems in the Pacific Islands, which are exposed to globalisation through a range of means. Pacific Island countries are also influenced by traditional sources of authority, such as customary chiefly systems and religious leadership, that shape and contribute to justice and policing in important and n…
Empowerment or alienation? Teaching gender and development in postcolonial contexts
This paper explores how culture, religion, gender, and the politics of knowledge production were entangled in the mission, policies, and practices of the Asian University for Women (AUW) in Bangladesh. The article contributes to documenting how decolonisation efforts in women’s education and empowerment play out in an institution located in the periphery and established with an explicit mission for women’s empowerment. The article critically look…
Policing and Religion in Tuvalu
Although religious institutions are an important agent of non-state policing, especially in the Global South, there is a limited understanding of the relationship between religion and policing. The Pacific presents an ideal context in which to examine the relationship between religious and policing institutions in Christian majority postcolonial societies. Moreover, state and religious institutions in the Pacific Island States are currently being…
Women and policing in the South Pacific
Scholars have been critical of the gender-biased nature of policing, and its effects on service delivery. They highlight how law enforcement is male-dominated, and how this impacts negatively on women as offenders and victims of crime. Such criticisms have mobilised international and national institutional support for more gender equitable representation in policing agencies. A growing body of research has addressed the impact of increasing the n…
Self-evaluating performance
Studies on policing in the Global South rarely discuss police self-evaluation of performance. Furthermore, internal performance assessments usually reflect the perspectives of senior management with little to no input from frontline officers. This paper seeks to present a more inclusive view of police performance as it presents the findings of a stakeholder perceptions survey commissioned by the Tuvalu Police Service (TPS) to examine police perce…
Cultural Socialization and Ethnic Consciousness
“Somehow, I will convince my people, … . I will have to follow but I won’t accept everything”
This paper presents findings from a three-year longitudinal qualitative case-study exploring the experiences of Asian women returning home after completing higher education. Drawing on the literature on empowerment, education and identity, analyses point to the empowering and displacing aspects of education: While education enhances choice, awareness, self-confidence, and status in the family, it also produces differences which are utilized to de…
I don’t care about their reactions’
Gender justice and women’s empowerment are both an end and a goal of sustainable development, and information and communication technology for development (ICT4D) policies and monitoring needs to be informed by this understanding. This article draws on research from Afghanistan exploring how women’s empowerment is conceptualised in relation to information and communication technologies (ICTs) currently, and how ICTs are used in processes intended…
International labor migration and social change in rural Sindh, Pakistan
This study examines why and how labor migration from a village in Sindh, Pakistan to Saudi Arabia has influenced changes for the left-behind families and the community. We find that while migration impacts positively on the material conditions of individual migrants and their families in the village, the potential of migration to impact on other aspects of living conditions, social change and development at community levels is shaped and often li…
The Impact of Identity Politics in Challenging National Narratives
Research and theories of nationalisms have underscored how national imaginaries are significantly shaped by collective identity claims‐making, as well as how national imaginaries are mobilized to make claims of both inclusion and exclusion by groups in the nation. However, there has been less focus on how within a given categorical group in a nation national imaginaries are interpreted, contested, and mobilized. Just as inter‐group contests have …
