	rfmcdpei: [BLOG-LIKE POSTING] On New Caledonia(/Nouvelle-Calédonie/Kanaky) and Colonialisms
		New Caledonia's status was also changed from an overseas territory to an "overseas country" - an arrangement in which it remained an integral part of France but had exclusive authority over internal matters.
		Unlike Algeria, though, which had a large and densely settled native population numbering several million at the beginning of the French conquest, New Caledonia was populated by dispersed tribes with differing cultural heritages numbering in the tens of thousands, at most.
		New Caledonia is of roughly the same size, population-wise, as Samoa and Tonga, after all; but whereas New Caledonia, much to the Kanak's deficit, has been a net receiver of immigrants, Samoa and Tonga rank among the largest per capita senders of migrants in the world.

	New Caledonia - Oceania: australia territory, name scotland, coal coke, caledonia new, nickel ore
		New Caledonia and Dependencies, overseas territory of France, situated in the southwestern Pacific Ocean, east of Australia.

	Politics of New Caledonia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Politics of New Caledonia takes place in a framework of a parliamentary representative democratic French overseas country, whereby the President of the Government is the head of government, and of a pluriform multi-party system.
		The unique status of New Caledonia is in between that of an independent country and a regular overseas collectivité of France.
		New Caledonia is also allowed to engage in international cooperation with independent countries of the Pacific Ocean.

	The Noumea Accord
		The relationship of New Caledonia with the distant motherland long remained marked by colonial dependency, a one-sided relationship and a refusal to recognise specific characteristics, from which the new communities, in their aspirations, also suffered.
		Ten years on, a new process needs to commence, entailing the full recognition of the Kanak identity, as a pre-requisite for rebuilding a social contract between all the communities living in New Caledonia, and entailing shared sovereignty with France, in preparation for full sovereignty.
		New Caledonia will participate in the capital and operation of the main development institutions in which the State is a partner.

	Melanesia in Review: Issues and Events, 2004: New Caledonia
		The new government, a coalition of former opposition parties and dissidents, continued to pass "laws of the country" and to develop its economy as the 1998 Noumea Accord empowered it to do, but labor strikes, resistance to a census that ignored ethnicity, and debates over local citizenship and identity symbols kept the"postcolonial" era lively.
		The elections on 9 May ended the dominance of Lafleur's party, as the AE took away 9 seats from the RPCR in the South, winning 19 total seats out of 40 in the provincial assembly and 16 seats in the Congress, compared to 3 for the Alliance in 1999.
		Australian and New Zealand forces had joined the French in military exercises in New Caledonia in June, as part of the 1993 FRANZ agreement, and Thémereau welcomed Australian overtures to increase its already large trade with and investments in the territory.

	New Caledonia
		New Caledonia will be much more autonomous than other territories such as French Polynesia, but still within the French Republic.
		New Caledonia will be able to act in every matter, except justice, police, defense, money and foreign affairs, the last being shared with the French government.
		From "Le Monde," New Caledonia will have its own identity signs, such as a name, flag, hymn, a currency and a graphism for its bank notes, which "should be created in common to express the Kanak identity and the future shared by all.

		The unique status of New Caledonia is in between that of an independent country and a regular overseas département of France.
		Their toppling of the RPCR (who was until then seen as the only voice of the European population) was a major surprise, and a sign that the society of New Caledonia is undergoing strong changes.
		"Future together", as the name implies, is opposed to a racial vision of New Caledonia, opposing Melanesians native inhabitants and European settlers, and is in favor of a multicultural New Caledonia, better reflecting the existence of large populations of Polynesians, Indonesians, Chinese, and other immigrants.

	Pacific Magazine: NEW CALEDONIA: Former Ruler Launches Own Party
		Lafleur was the founder of the RPCR (Rally for New Caledonia within the French Republic), a party he set up in the late 1970s.
		But New Caledonia's anti-independence parties are still struggling to iron out past feuds and differences, even though they are bound, under the 1998 Nouméa Accord, to rule together under a "collegial", representative form of local government.
		The moves, on New Caledonia's local political arena, have been strongly encouraged from Paris by UMP's current President and French minister for Home Affairs, Nicolas Sarkozy, as both Avenir Ensemble and Rassemblement-UMP claim their allegiance to the French ruling party.

	DECOLONIZATION COMMITTEE ADOPTS RESOLUTIONS WELCOMING PROGRESS TOWARDS SELF-DETERMINATION IN TOKELAU, NEW CALEDONIA
		In other action this morning, the Committee adopted a draft resolution on the question of New Caledonia, by the terms of which it noted positive measures by the French authorities to promote New Caledonia’s political and socio-economic development and welcomed significant developments in that Territory.
		Asking whether Tokelau, New Zealand and the Special Committee were ready to “cast the lure for the great fish”, he said the next period would be one of consolidation, including the strengthening of public services, the taupulega and the General Fono. In the next period, the constitution would be completed.
		NEIL WALTER (New Zealand), Administrator of Tokelau, said New Zealand had always seen it as its responsibility to encourage and support territories along the path to greater political self-reliance and had always taken the view that it was for the people of the territories themselves to determine the direction and pace of their political evolution.

	Security An Issue As Country Prepares For First Elections Sept. 18
		I have been involved with the weapons distribution and after thinking that it was not such a good idea to distribute thousands of AK47s and 9MM handguns, I have come to realize it is very important for the security of the country for the police to have these guns.
		Once the elections, scheduled for Sept. 18, have taken place, the security will be a lot better because it will show the Taliban (whose back is pretty much broken now) the Afghan people want a free and democratic society.
		Security is a big issue prior to the elections, because the insurgents are going to do all they can do to stop this process.

		The summons came two days after France's legislative review panel rejected as unconstitutional part of a plan to organize regional elections in New Caledonia, a major step toward making the country's Pacific territory independent.
		The review panel said that the bill, which would have maintained New Caledonia's defense and economic links with France while dividing the island into four voting regions, favored native Kanaks at the expense of French settlers, known as caldoches.
