Pacific democracy: global indices and lived realities
This episode explores the state of democracy in the Pacific, focusing on a joint report by International IDEA and the Australia National University's Department of Pacific Affairs. The report, released in mid-2025, assesses data from Fiji, Papua New Guinea, Solomon Islands and Vanuatu. It extends the discussion to all Pacific nations on the six themes of grassroots democracy, scale, localised politics, cohabitation, political marginalisation and democratic innovation.
