Abstract

Addressing long-term strategies for state-building in the Solomons,Professor Fukuyama underlines the need for nation-building efforts to create a sense of a common Solomon Islands identity. Pessimistic about current progress, he makes suggestions for international donors on how to support nation-building efforts, such as the creation of national secondary schools or a university to develop a national elite, as well as investment on Malaita . He also considers a shared soverignty model in areas where no amount of outside investment will solve underlying social problems. Professor Fukuyama's analysis helps us consider where RAMSI might head.
