Translating Sustainability at an Indonesian Fishing Port
This article explores why ‘sustainability’ has so far failed to gain traction as a guiding principle for fisheries governance among Danish seiner fishers on the Java north coast. In 2015, the Ministry of Marine Affairs and Fisheries announced a ban on Danish seining in Indonesian waters, along with the use of other gear that was deemed not environmentally friendly and therefore unsuitable for making fisheries sustainable. Fisheries officials expl…
The Practice of War
The fact is that war comes in many guises and its effects continue to be felt long after peace is proclaimed. This challenges the anthropologists who write of war as participant observers. Participant observation inevitably deals with the here and now, with the highly specific. It is only over the long view that one can begin to see the commonalities that emerge from the different forms of conflict and can begin to generalize. [From the Introduct…
Constructing the Learning Outcomes with Intercultural Assessment
Constructing the learning outcomes and designing the optimal learning environment are valuable practices in teaching and learning endeavors. Doing so for intercultural learning requires a deft balance of learner inputs and instructional acumen. Assessment of intercultural competence is an essential component since it offers learners and instructors insights on where students are, where they wish to grow, and the success of treatment outcomes. In …
Gendered Modes of Evaluating Work in a Javanese Fishery
This paper discusses two differently gendered modes of evaluating the work of crewmembers in a Northern Javanese fishery, the first focusing on its outcome and the second on the work process itself. Both are familiar from the anthropological literature. In this literature, the relative weight attributed to each and the connection stipulated between them appears as a matter of theoretical choice. In a fishing village in northern Java, however, eac…
Precariousness and prosperity among Javanese fish traders
Fish traders in a port on the north coast of Central Java say that they work as hard as they do so that their children may enjoy greater material security and tranquility than they themselves have ever experienced. Particular visions of prosperity are often formulated in explicit contrast to traders' own experiences of precariousness, which they hope their children will be spared. Anthropological arguments about precariousness, as well as about k…
Engaging with Strangers
This monograph, based on McDougall’s long-term engagement with people on Ranongga in the western Solomon Islands, makes an important contribution to the ethnography of this area, as well as to rese
Above and Below Among Mainlanders and Saltwater People in Buka, Bougainville
This article draws on ethnographic field research in Buka, Bougainville, in order to address the question of multiple models in spatial orientation and the factors that constrain their relative salience. With respect to different Polynesian settings (Tonga and Samoa), Bradd Shore has suggested that a preference for allocentric models may be linked to pronounced social hierarchies. However, findings from other settings (Taumako) indicate that matt…
Risks to coral reefs from ocean carbonate chemistry changes in recent earth system model projections
Coral reefs are among the most biodiverse ecosystems in the world. Today they are threatened by numerous stressors, including warming ocean waters and coastal pollution. Here we focus on the implications of ocean acidification for the open ocean chemistry surrounding coral reefs, as estimated from earth system models participating in the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project, Phase 5 (CMIP5). We project risks to reefs in the context of three pote…
Pigs, Fish, and Birds
This article reviews two strengths of Melanesian anthropology that could make a significant contribution to anthropological research on human-animal relations, specifically to multispecies ethnography. The first strength is an analytical approach to comparative research on gender developed in response to challenges from feminist theory in the 1980s; the second is a wealth of ethnographic detail on human-animal relations, much of it contained in t…
Who Sees What in Pororan Marriage Exchange
Over time, anthropologists working in Melanesia have provided increasingly nuanced analyses of exchange and, specifically, of the transformation of ‘objects’ and ‘images’ that people perceive in the course of particular revelatory sequences. One aspect of the complexity of exchange in Melanesia appears to have become sidelined, however, by a predominant interest in the temporal transformation of objects and images. This is the multiplicity of obj…
‘The One and the Two’
The paper explores the socially salient contrast between ‘mainlanders' and ‘saltwater people’ in the Buka area in the Autonomous Region of Bougainville, Papua New Guinea, as observed during ethnographic fieldwork in 2004–05. Buka people themselves articulate three at first sight disparate points of contrast between mainlanders and saltwater people. These concern settlement patterns, predominant subsistence activities and different degrees of ance…
Public Opinion Toward Intergovernmental Policy Responsibilities
This study examines public opinion toward the policy responsibilities of the national, state, and local governments. We use new data from a national survey to analyze citizens' attitudes toward the general and policy-specific activities of the respective governmental levels. We find that people want all levels of government to do more. But, they also differentiate among national, state, and local responsibilities for particular policy areas. In f…
The Impact of Welfare Reform on Medicaid
Welfare reform did not usher in comprehensive Medicaid reform, if “reform” is defined as dismantling the basic framework or design of the nations's health-care system for the poor. Instead, it left much of the previous Medicaid system intact. However, welfare reform has contributed to changes in the Medicaid-eligible populations, greater variability and experimentation with state Medicaid initiatives, and greater sate control over Medicaid progra…
Medicaid Section 1115 Waivers
This article focuses on recent developments in state Medicaid programs and the role ojSection 1115 waivers in this process. The evidence presented here demonstrates quite clearly that the states are using Section 1115 waivers to experiment with a broad range of innovative health-care service delivery, reimbursement, and eligibility concepts. This has allowed the states to reconfigure their Medicaid systems. More important, perhaps, the use of Sec…
Influences on Bureaucratic Policy Initiatives in the American States
This study develops and tests an empirical model of the influences on bureaucratic policy making in state Medicaid programs. The dependent variable is a measure of administrative social policy initiatives. The model incorporates a number of theoretically relevant independent variables, allowing us to examine some of the most important explanations for bureaucratic behavior. The empirical results demonstrate that interest groups, structural charac…
