José Garanger, chargé de recherche au C.N.R.S., effectua plusieurs missions archéologiques dans le Pacifique, tant en Polynésie qu'en Mélanésie, sous l'égide du C.N.R.S. et de l'ORSTOM. Il est également chargé de l'enseignement de la préhistoire à l'Université de Paris-Nanterre et secrétaire général de la Société des Océanistes. L'Archéologie des Nouvelles - Hébrides contient l'essentiel de la thèse de doctorat ès-lettres qu'il soutint récemment en Sorbonne. Le jury qui reçut José Garanger docteur, avec la plus haute distinction, eut l'occasion de signaler, outre ses solides qualités de chercheur, qu'il avait remarquablement su utiliser les mythes hébridais pour y rechercher des données historiques et ainsi "ancrer" ses recherches dans le passé traditionnel de l'archipel. Des cataclysmes légendaires s'avéraient avoir des confirmations géologiques, de fructueuses recherches permettaient de mettre la main sur les restes de héros légendaires... Dans un texte très dense-, abondamment illustré, complété par une riche bibliographie qu'accompagnent deux index, José Garanger expose les résultats obtenus au cours de dix-huit mois de fouilles dans le centre de l'archipel. Leur intérêt dépasse le simple cadre des Nouvelles-Hébrides et concerne l'ensemble de la préhistoire océanienne. Parmi les problèmes abordés, retenons en particulier les thèmes suivants : • Typologie et chronologie des diverses traditions céramiques du Pacifique aux Nouvelles-Hébrides, de l'outillage lithique et coquillier, des éléments de parure, des sépultures individuelles et collectives. • Confirmation, par l'archéologie préhistorique, des contenus historiques de deux grands cycles mytiques. • Relations avec les autres archipels mélanésiens, la Micronésie et la Polynésie Occidentale.

This collection is derived from a conference held at the Vanuatu National Museum and Cultural Centre (VCC) that brought together a large gathering of foreign and indigenous researchers to discuss diverse perspectives relating to the unique program of social, political and historical research and management that has been fostered in that island nation. While not diminishing the importance of individual or sole-authored methodologies, project-centered collaborative approaches have today become a defining characteristic of Vanuatu's unique research environment. As this volume attests, this environment has included a dynamically wide range of both ni-Vanuatu and foreign researchers and related research perspectives, most centrally including archaeologists and anthropologists, linguists, historians, legal studies scholars and development practitioners. This emphasis on collaboration has emerged from an ongoing awareness across Vanuatu's research community of the need for trained researchers to engage directly with pressing social and ethical concerns, and out of the proven fact that it is not just from the outcomes of research that communities or individuals may be empowered, but also through their modes and processes of implementation, as through the ongoing strength and value of the relationships they produce. With this in mind, the papers presented here go beyond the mere celebration of collaboration by demonstrating Vanuatu's specific environment of cross-cultural research as a diffuse set of historically emergent methodological approaches, and by showing how these work in actual practice.

Neverver is an Oceanic language spoken by just over 500 people on the high island of Malekula in Vanuatu. Drawing on an extensive corpus of field recordings collected between 2004 and 2008, the analysis reveals a very interesting phonological system with six prenasalized segments, rich systems of possession, tense/aspect/mood marking, valence change, and verb serialization. The grammaris of interest to specialists in Oceanic and Austronesian linguistics, as well as to general linguists, especially those interested in linguistic typology.

This 2016 Article IV Consultation highlights that Vanuatu’s economy is gradually recovering from the extensive damages caused by Cyclone Pam, which hit the country in March 2015. The cyclone led to a decline in GDP of about 0.8 percent in 2015. The current account deficit widened to 11 percent of GDP in 2015 from an average of 3 percent of GDP in the previous three years. Near-term prospects are favorable, but risks to the outlook are tilted to the downside. Real GDP growth is expected to reach 4 percent in 2016 and 4.5 percent in 2017 driven by the recovery in tourism and agriculture, and further ramping-up of infrastructure projects.
