*Ø* Blogmanac | Report warns PNG nearing "state collapse"
[This wonderful place, one of the world's largest islands and home to one-sixth of the world's languages, is yet another imminent 'failed state' as a result of neo-colonialism.]
"A group of Papua New Guinean academics has warned the country is close to becoming a failed state, echoing the institutional collapse that led Australia to intervene in the neighbouring Solomon Islands.
"The scholars warned the country 'is very near to experiencing state collapse' if present trends continue.
"A book by two political scientists and three lawyers, due to be published later this year, draws parallels with the experience of African nations and raises concerns about the "hideous consequences of irrational decision-making, despotic leadership, privatisation of state institutions and the 'politics of the belly'."
