Both  courses will explore contemporary debates regarding conflict and social  disorder in the Pacific drawing on the research and policy work of  members of the State Society and Governance in Melanesia (SSGM) Program  in the College of Asia and the Pacific (CAP)  They will provide an  introduction to key issues in law, order and conflict in the Pacific  islands region. Utilizing theoretical approaches drawn from the  disciplines of anthropology, criminology and conflict studies, these  courses aims to equip students with tools to facilitate the analysis and  understanding of social order and disorder. The practical application  of these approaches will be demonstrated via the examination of case  studies from Papua New Guinea, Solomon Islands, Vanuatu, Fiji and  Timor-Leste.
Contemporary  debates including competing notions of social order; the role of state  and non-state mechanisms in social control; internal and external  responses to problems of law and order in the Asia Pacific region will  be explored. In examining these topics, students will be exposed to a  variety of perspectives including from both academic and donor  discourses.
