State Society and Governance in Melanesia

Welcome to SSGM

State, Society & Governance in Melanesia is the leading centre for research into contemporary issues of governance in Melanesia. Launched in 1996 the SSGM's key objectives are to:

  • encourage scholarship on governance and state-society relations
  • generate dialogue throughout Melanesia and the Pacific Islands on these issues
  • assist in bridging policy and research.

The Program's research and outreach focuses on:

  • Island Melanesia - Papua New Guinea, Solomon Islands, Vanuatu, New Caledonia and Fiji;
  • The culturally-related region to the west including Papua/Irian Jaya and Timor;
  • The countries of the Pacific Islands region to the north and east.

The Australian Agency for International Development (AusAID) provides financial support to the Program.
