Comparisons

Abstract: Abstract Having examined the taxonomy using two case studies, both of which provided some evidence in its favour, I now compare the experiences of Vanuatu and Singapore in order to establish whether any lessons can be learnt, and if so, what they are. As mentioned in the introduction and Chapter 5, I am comparing Singapore and Vanuatu because I lived and worked in them for three years and two years respectively and consider myself to have some degree of subjective knowledge about each. If postmodern relativism is to be avoided, it is important to try to establish lessons, however limited they may be.
