Synopsis (short abstract) Land reform is never easy but, after many decades without much change in their land laws, there are signs of a mood for change in the countries of the Pacific. With legal systems which place great emphasis on custom, traditional authority and customary land tenures, land policies and legislation in the Pacific must steer a middle course between the need to encourage growth and economic development, and the fundamental importance of protecting the social, political and cultural values reflected b y customary land tenures. Their land systems aim to protect land ownership at the customary group level, and land use at the individual land developer level.
