Papua New Guinea is a relatively recent independent state engaged
in a struggle to develop economically and exercise a degree of
sovereignty. This work articulates the challenges that confront the
young nation including, security, economic viability, delivery of
services, and control of political corruption. While these are
matters internal to the functionality of the nation state, the
author argues that matters have changed dramatically with China’s
growing influence in the region and the ensuing competition between
the United States and China. With this increasing geopolitical
importance there is the promise of financial benefit, but there are
also new challenges as there is the ever-present danger of becoming
enmeshed in superpower competition. David Lea argues that lack of
economic development and continuing aid dependency may well render
island nations such as Papua New Guinea susceptible to political
manipulation and further loss of sovereignty, including even a risk
of military involvement.
