Legal Governance PhD Scholarship Closing date: 14 August 2009 Colonisation and Migration in the Pacific The Legal Governance Concentration of Research Excellence (CORE) in Macquarie Law School, Macquarie University, is offering a full time PhD Scholarship investigating the role of legal and constitutional arrangements in shaping migration in the Pacific region. The successful applicant will join an innovative team of researchers at Macquarie Law School who are undertaking inter-disciplinary research on contemporary issues of legal governance. Migration is a phenomenon of great importance to the Pacific region: proportionate to the size of their home populations, no other region of the world has experienced larger outflows of people. This project will examine the links between Pacific migration and colonisation, which has left a complex legacy of legal and political associations in the Pacific. As the process of decolonisation has unfolded, colonial powers (such as Australia, France, New Zealand, UK and US) have made different arrangements for the governance of Pacific territories. This project will examine the impact of these legal and constitutional arrangements on migration within the Pacific, and between Pacific Island Countries and the Pacific Rim, during critical periods of colonisation and decolonisation.
