Paper linking research on 'good governance'in the Third World to a case study of the Republic of Kiribati. It questions the validity of the ideologically driven approach taken by the World Bank and suggests that standard checklists of good governance characteristics do not sufficiently allow for factors such as cultural diversity and local economic circumstances. Includes references. The author is professor of history at Massey University, NZ.

The chapters in this book provide a diverse set of topics, perspectives and formulations about educational issues in a group of important Pacific Rim countries. Each contributor explores an area of national educational importance for their particular country, taking care to locate themselves within their own national context and then to look outwards to consider the educational relevance of the Pacific Rim and, more generally, globalisation.
