Abstract

In rural Solomon Islands, where the state is weakly embedded into people’s everyday survival strategies, the ability of local communities to generate sustainable livelihoods and wellbeing may hinge on local leadership and problem-solving. A variety of actors - from churches, tribes, clans, political institutions, or government agencies - claim power, legitimacy and authority in these spaces. But across the country’s diverse cultures, languages and terrains, the relational dynamics between these actors varies, with significant implications for the achievement of shared goals.
