Papua New Guinea, in the Trap of Australian Imperialism

Poeura Tetoe and Rémy Herrera

A chapter in Trajectories of Declining and Destructive Capitalism, 2025, vol. 40, pp 215-224 from Emerald Group Publishing Limited

Abstract: This chapter shows the ambivalence of the relationships between Papua New Guinea and Australia, by successively analyzing the historical links which bind these two countries (Part I), their continuity after independence (Part II), and the mechanisms of this dependence, especially at the economic and political levels (Part III). The social structures of Australia's former colony are studied, in particular in relation to the issues of the access to land and the expansion of the mining sector penetrated by foreign capital, around which the interests of the States and the transnational firms, on the one hand, and those of the Papua New Guinean people, on the other hand, are clashing.
