Politics in Polynesia
Politics in Polynesia examines the political systems, governance practices, and social transformations within Polynesian societies. Edited by Ahmed Ali and Ronald Gordon Crocombe, the volume forms part of the Politics in the Pacific Islands series and presents scholarly analyses of political developments across major Polynesian countries and territories, including Samoa, Tonga, Tahiti, and other island nations. The book explores the evolution of leadership structures, the influence of colonial administrations, and the interaction between traditional authority and modern state systems. It provides insight into constitutional frameworks, political participation, social organization, and the role of cultural identity in shaping political behavior. The chapters also discuss regional cooperation, challenges to governance, and pressures brought by modernization and globalization. This work serves as a significant reference for students and researchers interested in Pacific studies, comparative politics, and the complexities of political life in Polynesia. It offers a balanced and well-researched overview of how historical, cultural, and institutional factors contribute to contemporary governance across the Polynesian region.
