Seeking a ‘Standard of Living at Least as High’
From around 1950 to 1964 Australia, supported by the United Kingdom and New Zealand—its partners in a United Nations trusteeship over Nauru—envisaged that the Nauruans would leave their phosphate‐rich island. Into the early 1960s the idea of resettlement helped fend off UN pressures for Nauru's political evolution. But in late 1964 the Nauruans unequivocally rejected their resettlement on Curtis Island in Queensland, opting to remain on their hom…
Not ‘Revolutionary Hopes’
After a tragic wartime experience, the Nauruans welcomed the return of Australian rule in late 1945. Australia concentrated on the prompt resumption of phosphate mining, giving Nauruan interests lower priority. Among several representations, the Nauruans petitioned the United Nations in August 1948 seeking ‘some share of administrative responsibility’. Nancy Viviani described the Nauruans later withdrawal of this petition as a ‘setback’ to their …
Whitlam and Australia’s relations with France, 1972–75
The conflict over French nuclear testing in the South Pacific has dominated discussion of Australia’s relations with France while Gough Whitlam was Prime Minister (December 1972 to November 1975). Nonetheless, other issues were also important. To an extent not previously appreciated, Whitlam took a very positive view of France, despite his opposition to French nuclear testing. He understood the implications for Australian interests of France’s le…
The Limits of Influence
From the late 1970s Australian governments (led in turn by Malcolm Fraser and Bob Hawke) expected New Caledonia to become independent. France responded with suspicion. From 1983, however, reformist governments in Australia and France took apparently converging views. But tensions rose because of unrest in New Caledonia and conflict over French nuclear testing. Australia’s limited capacity to influence developments waned further in 1986 when Jacqu…
Anxious Neighbour
In the late 1940s and the 1950s, in the context of the White Australia policy and strong anti‐Japanese sentiment, Australia mounted a successful diplomatic campaign against the use of Japanese contract labour in New Caledonia. Australia also campaigned, but with only partial success, against the use of Japanese labour in the nearby New Hebrides. These initiatives further illustrate Australia's traditional assertiveness, when it saw its interests …

Some Australian official views of New Caledonia’s Melanesians, 1941 to 1953
In the decade or so from 1941, Australian military officers and government officials paid some attention, for the first time, to the Melanesians of New Caledonia. Their comments illuminate Australian attitudes in that period, and offer perspectives on a significant stage in the history of New Caledonia, in terms particularly of the partial enfranchisement of the Melanesians
Australia's Economic Ambitions in French New Caledonia, 1945–1955
From 1945, consistent with its broader South Pacific ambitions, Australia sought to strengthen its economic position in New Caledonia. The leaders of the European-descended ‘Caledonian’ community wanted economic autonomy for the territory and improved trade with Australia. Yet the opportunity proved illusory. France remained committed to imperial preference and economic dominance. Its revival was underwritten by Marshall Plan aid, including in Ne…

The Uneasy Peace
FOR MOST OF THE 1980s, bitter conflicts punctuated by open violence characterized the politics of the small French Pacific territory of New Caledonia. Over forty people were killed and property damage ran into millions of dollars. But since mid-1988, more peaceful conditions have mainly been present. The turning point came on 26 June 1988, when Michel Rocard, the socialist prime minister of France, signed agreements with the representatives of th…

A response to comments on a review article on agrarian movements in Bihar, India
This rejoinder refutes the assertions made by Dr Sengupta in his comments (The Journal of Peasant Studies, Vol.12, No. 4, July 1985) on my review article on the Special Issue on ‘Agrarian Movements in Bihar’. It also argues that by failing to address squarely the issues raised in the review article, Dr Sengupta has conceded that the criticisms made are well founded.

Bureaucracy and Control in India's Great Landed Estates
In north India in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries several great landed estates played a crucial part in the consolidation of imperial rule and in the support of the social and economic order. These estates have attracted considerable scholarly attention, but previous research has concentrated primarily on their relations with the colonial administraton and on their general intermediary role in north Indian society. The only study dir…
