| description | This thesis examines the “purchase” of customary land in two villages in Papua New Guinea. My research shows that there has been a steady increase in the formalisation and documentation of land access arrangements by migrants in the two study sites.

This research contributes towards customary land tenure arrangements and the customary land reform program in PNG. |
