<p style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">The transition currently taking place in the decade-long Regional Assistance Mission to Solomon Islands (RAMSI) has become the subject of intense deliberation among
the Australian policy community. Much of this discussion has revolved around the challenges of transitioning from one modality of external assistance to another. Significant as this is, it is also important to consider other important transitions underway
in Solomon Islands.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">This workshop examines the post-RAMSI transition in light of other significant changes taking place in the archipelago, as well as drawing on relevant international
experience. It will do so by bringing together expertise on Solomon Islands’ past, present and likely future transitions, and place this in critical conversation with comparative experience from elsewhere.

<p style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">In the 1930s, colonial officers in the British Solomon Islands Protectorate began implementing a system of “native administration” that loosely followed models of
indirect rule from Africa. It centered on “native councils” and “native courts” whose operations were grounded in “native custom”. In this talk David Akin will examine how this scheme played out on the island of Malaita, where it met the most difficulties.
