Die dezentrale Regierungs- und Verwaltungsform kolonialen Ursprungs wurde nach der Unabhängigkeit beibehalten; es gibt breites Interesse an ihrer Weiterentwicklung. Darstellung der vier Hauptinstitutionen lokaler Verwaltung auf Distriktebene: District Administration, District Council, Land Board und Tribal Administration. Bericht der Local Government Structure Commission von 1979, spätere Weißbücher und Entscheidungen der Zentralregierung befürworten den Fortbestand dieser vier Einrichtungen und behandeln ihr Zusammenspiel bzw. ihre Abgrenzung voneinander. Die Darstellung konzentriert sich auf die reale Entwicklung seither und auf die Probleme: es wird festgestellt, daß das erstrebte Gleichgewicht von einem leichten Vorrang der District Administration abgelöst worden ist.

Based on extensive interviews (N not given) supplemented by a study of relevant documentation, the substantial government decentralization that has taken place in Papua New Guinea since independence is outlined. Attention is drawn to the five main sources from which provincial governments draw their funds. The following issues are discussed: (1) whether provincial government should be retained, (2) the position of the suspended & less developed provinces, (3) manpower & public service, (4) finance, (5) economic growth & social justice, (6) conflict & cooperation, & (7) local government. The main conclusions are that provincial government is here to stay, at least for the foreseeable future, but will be subject to tighter control by the national government, & that the provinces will continue to vary considerably in their resources & taxable capacities; provincial inequality will not be significantly reduced. 3 Tables, 1 Map.

A review essay on a book by C. George Kahama, T. L. Maliyamkono, & Stuart Wells, The Challenge for Tanzania's Economy (London: James Currey Ltd, & NH: Heinemann, 1986 [see listing in IRPSPPD No. 16]). A reference work on Tanzania that includes an accurate & well-informed discussion & criticism of the government's policy. Written from a social-democratic perspective, the opinions expressed gain credibility because of Kahama's experience in a number of cabinet posts between 1958 & 1984 in Tanzania, & as the ambassador to the People's Republic of China.
