Incompatible partners? Urban poor communities and river systems in Bangkok, Thailand
Asian cities are confronted with a range of environmental challenges with few success stories. State-driven and top-down solutions have been only partially successful, while communities struggle with developing and implementing alternative strategies that are affordable and result in safer and more liveable environments. River systems are increasingly at the centre of many of these struggles. In part this has been because current and past approac…
Housing the Urban Poor in Metro Manila
Aux Philippines, les programmes de developpement social sont etroitement lies au contexte politique local. Cet article tente de montrer que la mise en place d'une politique de developpement social et d'habitat pour les populations pauperisees des villes ne peut pas se fonder seulement sur des objectifs sociaux et politiques mais aussi techniques. Comme dans d'autres pays, les programmes d'habitat sont dependants d'attitudes nefastes : desengageme…
Lost in Translation? Comparing Planning Responses to Urban Growth in the Global North and South
Governing rapidly growing urban regions is one of the key challenges facing planners, policymakers, and politicians today, especially in terms of governance at the local level. Research and practice have mainly been shaped by the differentiated experiences of "more" and "less" developed countries. This study evaluates a comparative urban governance research project that sought to go beyond these confines to explore the synergies and differences b…
Environmental management in the absence of participation: A case study of the Maldives
This paper explores environmental assessment and management practices in the Maldives with a focus on the role of the public in environmental decision-making. As one of the world's most vulnerable states, the Maldives is undergoing rapid political, economic and environmental transformation. Yet environmental impact assessments (EIAs), and environmental policy in general, take place within a framework of limited democratic representation and parti…
Beyond the Beach: Balancing Environmental and Socio-cultural Sustainability in Boracay, the Philippines
Though considered the 'number one beach' of the Philippines, Boracay has been through periods where it has been considered as an example of environmentally and socially unsustainable development. In response there have been a number of programmes since the late 1990s aiming to improve Boracay's sustainability. In these, significant attention has been given to the aesthetic landscape of tourism's consumption, most especially 'the beach' and associ…
Kiribati: An environmental ‘perfect storm’
Recent environmental discourses and headlines on small island developing states (SIDS) have heralded the grave and impending threats of global warming and associated sea-level rise. These are undoubtedly significant challenges for SIDS, including atoll nations such as Kiribati. Nevertheless, securing small island state futures also requires a renewed commitment to addressing the obvious and immediate threats of urbanisation, pollution and sanitat…
The poverty consensus: Some limitations of the ‘popular agenda’
The New Poverty Agenda is said to represent a break with the past and to offer a rationale for aid that is built on partnerships towards a common and realizable goal - the elimination of poverty. However, recent critiques have highlighted problems with the practice of poverty policy, and particularly limitations identified from its association with global actors which stand accused of contributing to poverty. For some, there is no new agenda; a p…
Political conflict in postcolonial Oceania
This article provides an overview of growing conflict in Oceania and considers some of the broad attempts to explain it. It critically outlines the nature of the post‐colonial transformation of the region and considers the influence of this on patterns of instability. It concludes that the region exhibits an unprecedented vulnerability in politico‐economic, social and environmental terms and that useful interpretations of this must involve attent…
The peri‐urban Pacific: From exclusive to inclusive cities
As the Pacific Islands continue to urbanise, existing models of governance and planning are coming under greater pressure and scrutiny. Both the city council approach and the ‘good’ urban governance agenda of donors have weaknesses in the region, especially in dealing with peri‐urban settlements where the most rapid urban population growth is occurring. This is resulting in increased social discontent and conflict. This paper critiques the ways i…

Dilemmas of development in Oceania: The political economy of the Tongan agro-export sector
This article critically engages with the recent diffusion of the orthodox development model in Oceania and highlights some evolving dilemmas. In particular, it explores the social, economic and ecological tensions arising from economic reforms that are exacerbating the fragility of already vulnerable nation-states and communities. In order to illustrate its arguments, a case study of the impacts of agro-export growth in Tonga is presented. Attent…
