Abstract:
Researches of and among Pacificans have been largely externally initiated, funded and controlled. It has become an imperialist tool to colonize, oppress and control the aspirations of Pacificans. This case study shows that research imperialism thrives in Tonga. Economic and social efficiency can be achieved through local initiatives by native researchers. Such an alternative approach must replace foreign data prospectors, "mosquito scientists" and "parachute consultants". This study provides a rapid assessment methods for monitoring research performance among Pacificans.
