<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-size:10.5pt; font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">In this paper, the authors present the findings of an 18-month research project on the attitudes of tertiary students in Melanesia and Timor-Leste
to national identity and key issues of nation-building. The research was conducted at tertiary campuses across four sites: Dili, Port Vila, Honiara and Port Moresby. The study examined the attitudes of the young educated elite likely to dominate the next generation
of leaders and decision makers.</span></p>
