520		3	_aExamines the crisis in the North Solomons province of Papua New Guinea (also known as Bougainville) in the period 1988 to 1998. This conflict is analysed using security theory to address the overall questions of what political choices and underlying structural pressures contributed to the outbreak, intensification and later de-escalation of violent political conflict. The objective is to show what basic imperatives must be accommodated to ensure the cessation of hostilities, which arose mainly from war weariness, are converted to long term peace. Includes coverage of the involvement of the mercenary organization Sandline.
