| Abstract: | Following the Noumea Accord (1998), Kanak people are seeking to replace a colonial situation with a process of autonomous development, through their entry to a globalized economy and alliances with multinational mining companies. At the same time, the rural world is undergoing profound transformations. Questions of gender, environment, sustainable development, land conflict, indigenous rights, new customary institutions, and the construction of a multicultural society through New Caledonian citizenship are some of the main issues that we would like to address in this session, which has as a further goal the reintroduction of New Caledonia to the "sea of islands" through consideration of comparable changes elsewhere in the Pacific. |
