Cultivating Christian civil society: fundamentalist Christianity, politics & governance in Papua New Guinea (pdf 2mb)

This discussion paper gives a general introduction to Christianity in Papua New Guinea, particularly as it relates to broad issues of governance, electoral discourse and demands for reform.

It provides observations of the conduct of the Papua New Guinea elections in 2007, focusing on the regions in the Southern Highlands electorate of Kagua-Erave. The course of the election and the types of election messages people were presented with, together with their responses, offer considerable insight into their opinions of government and their approach to the question of governance.
