Solomon Islands in Transition

Abstract

The authors discuss the current transitions taking place in the Solomon Islands. They argue that while the gradual drawdown of the Regional Assistance Mission to Solomon Islands (RAMSI) is important, it is not the only significant change that is occurring in Solomon Islands and that the short-term policy focus on managing the mission's smooth exit should not obscure what are arguably much larger and more significant transitional challenges facing this small Pacific island country.
