| description |
Although Papua New Guinea’s (PNG) urban
settlements and mixed neighborhoods have a reputation for
endemic violence, many local observers report some
improvements in urban safety and security over recent years.
These are attributed to both political-economic factors,
including economic growth, an improved employment outlook,
and the successful removal of former raskols, or criminal
gangs, by business-oriented settlers, and also to
institutional factors, such as the failure of criminal gangs
to become institutionalized and the ability of local
leadership to prevent the escalation of ethnic conflict and
youth-related crime.This report examines the capabilities of
mediation institutions in mixed settlements where the
majority of the population of Papua New Guinea’s (PNG)
largest cities live and work. This report focuses on
mediation in mixed settlements, where the majority of the
population of PNG’s cities live. Three dimensions of
institutional capability are considered: i) efficiency
(accessibility, affordability, timeliness, and
sustainability), ii) power and authority, and iii) outcomes
and legitimacy. Although the results are preliminary, as
this initial investigation focused on, What is there and how
it works, the research reveals significant differences in
outcomes for different groups that need further clarification. |
