Transnational Tongans:The Profile and Re-integration of Return Migrants

This study contributes to the 'unwritten chapter' in migration studies, namely transnational return migration, with specific reference to Tongan migrants who have voluntarily returned to live in Tonga. Return migration of transnational Tongans is not 'permanent' as their mobility pre and post-return is characterised by circulation or repeated return rather than staying at 'home'.

The socio-cultural impacts of community based tabu sites on men and women: A case study of Cuvu district, Nadroga, Fiji

This research analyses the impacts of community based Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) or tabu on men and women of Cuvu district in the province of Nadroga, Fiji. The practice of tabu is not an uncommon phenomenon in the South Pacific. Many evaluations have been conducted of such initiatives. However, there appears to be a lack of comparative analysis detailing how gender specific impacts are caused by these resource management regimes.
