Abstract
Eight Insecticides viz. diafenthiuron, buprofezin, thiodicarb, imidacloprid, carbosulfan,
methamidophos, acetamiprid, thiamethoxam were tested for their toxicity against predator Chrysoperla
carnea (Stephens) through leaf dip bioassay method under laboratory conditions. Insecticides were
applied at three levels of concentration i.e., low (C1), recommended (C2), high (C3) in a completely
randomized manner. Low (C1) and recommended (C2) concentrations of diafenthiuron and buprofezin
were found harmless while high concentration of both insecticides was found slightly harmful after
24 hours exposure. Thiodicarb was harmless at lower concentration ( C1 ) but slightly harmful at
recommended (C2) and higher (C3) concentrations. Acetamiprid and thiamethoxam were moderately
harmful at lower concentration (C1) whereas were toxic at recommended and higher concentrations.
All insecticides, at all concentrations were found toxic after 48 hours except buprofezin and thiodicarb.
Pupation rates were lowest (0.00 %) in the acetamiprid and highest (71.7 %) in the buprofezin treatment

Introduction
Presence and role of natural enemy in orchards, ﬁeld crops and vegetables have been
studied (DEAN and STERLING 1992) to reduce the use of insecticides and environmental
pollution. Chrysoperla carnea (Stephens) has received much attention as a potential
biological control agent because of its geographical distribution (NEW 1975), its tolerance
to some insecticide (HASSAN et al. 1985) and its relative ease of mass production.
Chrysoperla carnea is predominant species of green lacewing. C. carnea has
green cylindrical body, transparent wings with light green veins, long ﬁliform antennae,
golden eyes and stalked eggs that offer protection from predation (PEDIGO 1989). Larvae
of C. carnea is polyphagous, voracious feeder of cotton aphid, Aphis gossypii Glover;
corn earworm, Helicoverpa zea (Boddie) (LINGREN et al. 1968); Colorado potato beetle,
Leptinotarsa decemlineata (Say) (NORDLUND et al. 1991). Effectiveness of C. carnea as
a biological control agent has been demonstrated in a ﬁeld crops, orchards, green house
(HAGLEY and MILES 1987).
In spite of all these preciousness C. carnea with many other beneﬁcial organisms
have almost eliminated from field due to frequent use of non- selective insecticides.
Scientist all over the world are now condemning use of synthetic, organic insecticides.

However these insecticides were effective when pests exceed economic thresholds level
(ETL) and economic damaged occurred. But these insecticides have harmful effect on
natural enemies. Now insecticides with novel mode of action have been developed to
control pests of economic importance. These pesticides represent the beginning of new
era in integrated pest management (IPM).
In the present study eight insecticides extensively used to control insect pest of
cotton and were selected to test their toxicity against first instar larvae of Chrysoperla
carnea, with purpose to screen out some selective insecticides that can be used in
compatible with biological control and to evaluate its potential use in IPM programs in
Pakistan.
Materials and Methods
Common names, trade names, and concentrations of various insecticides tested
in the present study are given in Table 1. Formulated products of eight insecticides
viz. diafenthiuron, buprofezin, thiodicarb, imidacloprid, carbosulfan, methamidophos,
acetamiprid, thiamethoxam, were selected to determine their toxicity against neonate of
C. carnea under laboratory conditions. Larvae of C. carnea, which were originated from
ﬁeld, were obtained from Insect Rearing Laboratory, University College of Agriculture,
B. Z. University, Multan. Three concentrations of these insecticides i.e. C1, C2 and C3
representing lower dose, recommended dose and higher dose were prepared in tap water
and used throughout the experimentations. The insecticides were classified according
to the recommendation of the International Organization for Biological Control, West
Palaearctic Regional Section (IOBC / WPRS) working group (HASSAN 1989) as under:
Harmless (toxicity class 1) = less than 50 % mortality,
Slightly harmful (toxicity class 2) = 50-79 % mortality,
Moderately harmful (toxicity class 3) = 80-89 % mortality,
Harmful (toxicity class 4) = more than 90 % mortality.
Glass Petri plates (4.5 cm diameter) were used for experimentations. Cotton leaves
were collected from the unsprayed ﬁeld and washed with tap water. Cotton leaf disks of
4.5 cm diameter were cut and dipped into insecticide solution for 5 seconds and allowed
to dry in open air. Untreated control was dipped in tap water only. Moistened ﬁlter was
placed beneath leaf disks to avoid the desiccation of leaves in the Petri plates.
The experiment was conducted in a completely randomized design in three
replicates. Twenty eggs per a replicate were used for each treatment. Gray eggs (three day
old) of C. carnea were placed individually in Petri plates to avoid cannibalism. Eggs of
Sitotroga cerealella Oliver were placed in Petri plates as a food for larvae of C. carnea.
Eggs were kept at 27 ± 2 ºC and at 70 ± 5 % relative humidity. Mortality was observed 24
and 48 hours after hatching of C. carnea. Effect of insecticides was expressed as mortality
of ﬁrst instar larvae.
The larvae survived after exposure to insecticide moved to medium sized gelatin
capsule along with 0.024 g eggs of Sitotroga cerealella. After completion of larval
development, pupae in the capsules were kept in Petri plates for adult emergence. Rates of
pupation and adult emergence were recorded.

Results and Discussion
Mortalities of C. carnea larvae 24 and 48 hours after exposure to three
concentrations of eight insecticides under laboratory conditions are presented in Table 2.
Low and recommended concentration (C1 and C2) of diafenthiuron and buprofezin were
found harmless and caused less then 50 % mortality, while higher concentration (C3) and
of both insecticides were found slightly harmful and caused 61 and 58 % mortality after
24 hours. Both chemicals were remained slightly harmful after 48 hours exposure with
the exception that diafenthiuron caused more then 90 % mortality in higher concentration
(C3). ABDELGADER (2000) reported harmful effects of diafenthiuron on predators. HASSAN
et al. (1994) reported that buprofezin was harmless to C. carnea. ERKILIC and YGNN (1997)
found that buprofezin has no or very limited detrimental effects on natural enemies. The
higher concentrations of buprofezin are proved to have detrimental effects on C. carnea as
compared to lower concentration.
Thiodicarb at low concentration ( C1 ) was harmless after 24 hours, while
recommended and higher concentrations (C2 and C3) were proved slightly harmful
after 24 and 48 hours exposure respectively. MCCUTCHEON and DURANT (1993) evaluated
toxicity of some insecticides against predaceous arthropods and reported that thiodicarb
was tolerated by most of the predators.
All concentrations (C1, C2, C3) of imidacloprid, carbosulfan and methamidophos
were found harmful after 24 and 48 hours exposure (Table 2). BADAWY and ARNAOUTY
(1999) also reported that mortalities at ﬁrst, second and third instar larvae of C. carnea
against insecticides belonged to classes’ organophosphorous and carbamates. They
reported that first and second instar larvae of C. carnea were most susceptible against
organophosphate and carbamates.

Data belonging to larval mortality of C. carnea reveals that lower concentrations
(C1) of acetamiprid and thiamethoxam caused 88.3 and 86.7 % mortality respectively and
found moderately harmful after 24 hours and harmful after 48 hours exposure (Table 2).
Recommended and higher concentrations (C2 and C3) of both insecticides were found
harmful after 24 and 48 of exposure. LAWSON et al. (1999) reported that thiamethoxam
is classified as slightly harmful to beneficial insects and harmless to predatory mites.
They further stated that it is often applied to the soil, which allows thiamethoxam to
systematically protect the plant without contacting beneﬁcial species, which remain on the
plant surface. Therefore, ﬂexibility in the application of thiamethoxam with limited leaf
surface residues result in excellent pest control without disrupting natural enemies. But
in our experiment thiamethoxam was toxic; it might be due to direct contact of C. carnea
with insecticide. No mortality was observed in T9 control.
DUFFIE et al. (1998) demonstrated the survival of predaceous arthropods on cotton
during 1996 and 1997 in growing seasons after insecticides spray. Insecticide classes
included representatives from the following: Insect Growth Regulator (IGR), Carbamates,
Pyrethroid, Chloronictinyl, and Organophosphate. The IGR had low toxicity while
carbamates were moderately toxic to the predaceous arthropods. While, chloronicotinyl
and organophosphate classes were the most toxic causing dramatic reductions in predator
numbers.

Treatments T4, T5 and T8 were deleted as 100 % larval mortality after 48 hrs.
Pupation and adult emergence rates from treated larvae are given in Table 3. All
larvae developed into pupae in T9. In the next pupation rate 71.7 % larvae were pupated
in T2. None of the larvae succeeded to pupate in treatment T4, T5 and T8. Pupation
rate decreased with the increase in insecticides concentration. Adult emergence rates
from pupa are ranged from 96.7 to 98.4 in control. In treatments T1, T2, T3, T6 and T7
emergence rate were 41.7, 65.0, 35.0, 2.0 and 6.7 respectively. No effect of insecticides
was recorded on adult emergence rate in treatments of lower concentration (C1).
A plant protection product (PPP) was considered harmless if mortality is less than
50 % of the larvae treated in initial laboratory test (HASSAN 1989) and no further test in
semi ﬁeld and ﬁeld condition will recommended. According to general agreement when
PPP proved harmless in initial laboratory test for a particular beneﬁcial organism is most
likely to be harmless to the same organism in the ﬁeld. Further testing (semi ﬁeld and ﬁeld
condition) is necessary when a pesticide is found to be harmful that it caused more than
90 % mortality to a beneﬁcial organism in initial laboratory toxicity test.
However, the effect of insecticides on a particular natural enemy involves numerous
biotic and abiotic factors. Therefore it would be regrettable to exclude toxic compounds
without looking for their specific uses. Selection of a suitable insecticide in an IPM
programs not depends only on its toxicity level to beneﬁcial insects but also on its efﬁcacy
against the target pest, its weathering and persistency.
It was concluded that insecticides viz., thiamethoxam, acetamiprid, methamidophos,
carbosulfan and imidacloprid, were found toxic to C. carnea larvae, and therefore
recommended for semiﬁeld and ﬁeld tests. It was also observed that once C. carnea larvae
tolerated the insecticide exposure, they could pupate and adults emerge successfully.

Abstract
Laboratory experiments were carried out to study the toxicity level of some fungicides against
Chrysoperla carnea (Stephens) larvae. Recommended concentrations of Carbendazim 50 WP, Mancozeb
80 WP and Ridomil 68 WP and water (control) were applied through leaf dip method in Petri plates. C.
carnea larvae of 1st, 2nd and 3rd instars were exposed to these fungicides treated leaves in Petri plates.
Results indicated that all fungicides were safer to all larval stages of C. carnea after 24, 48 and 72 hrs.
Highest mortality was observed in Ridomil treated larvae. It caused 4.44 % mortality of 1st and 3rd
instars larvae after 24 and 72 hrs. Maximum pupation rate (89.32 %) was recorded in Mancozeb treated
2nd instar larvae. Adult emergence was 95-97 % in all treatments. The longevity of adults of C. carnea
was nearly similar (49-50 days) for all treatments. The maximum fecundity (950 eggs) was observed in
adults, where larvae were treated with water, whereas minimum (897 eggs) was found in treatment where
larvae were exposed to Ridomil. Fungicides had no toxic effect on larvae of C. carnea at any stage and
found safer according to IOBC classiﬁcation for measuring toxicity.

Introduction
Green lacewing, Chrysoperla carnea (Stephens), is a voracious and generalist
predator of many soft bodies insect pests and has worldwide distributions (GEETHA
and SWAMIAPPAN 1998, NEW 1975, ZELENY 1984). The daily feeding potential of larvae
is 100-120 eggs of lepidoteran pests (GAUTAM and GUPTA 1998). Effectiveness of C.
carnea as biological control agent has been demonstrated in field crops, orchards and
in green houses (HAGLEY and MILES 1987). Conservation of natural fauna either through
selective use of pesticides or by other means has been the main criteria for integrated
plant protection. Many insecticides have been found moderately to very harmful to the
larvae of Chrysoperla carnea in the ﬁeld (VOGT 1994). MATHIRAJAN and REGUPATHY (2002)
in an experiment observed that test concentrations of thiamethoxam, imidacloprid and
methyl-o-demeton had no adverse effects on egg hatchability and lower egg mortality
of C. carnea as compared to water, whereas the larval mortality ranged from 10 to 48.7
%. PAULIAN (1998) tested the activity of 28 pesticides in the laboratory on C. carnea.
He stated that insecto-fungicides mixtures, generally for cereal seed treatment such as
Difenoconazol + Lindane, Tirametox 90 PTS, Tebuconazol + Lindane, Gamavit 85 PSu,
Supercarb T 80 PSu, Procarb L, Trialin showed medium toxicity at usual rates, whereas

insecticides (Oleoekalux CE, Sintox 40 CE, Dimevur 52.5 Olerocarbetox, US 1 RV)
were found toxic. GUVEN and GOVEN (2001) tested different pesticides on C. carnea in
the laboratory including three fungicides and found that fenarimol, mancozeb+metalaxyl
and micronized sulphur showed 45 %, 28 % and 16 % death rate, respectively. According
to RIDGWAY and JONES (1968) and GEETHA and SWAMIAPPAN (1998), C. carnea can be well
integrated in a pest management program that includes certain conventional or systemic
insecticides as predaceous larvae are tolerant to insecticides. The intent of present studies
was to evaluate the toxicity of different fungicides against different larval instars of green
lacewing and subsequent effect of fungicides on pupation, adult longevity and fecundity
of female under laboratory conditions.
Material and Methods
Experiments were conducted in C. carnea Rearing Laboratory of University
College of Agriculture, Bahauddin Zakariya University, Multan. Field collected colony
of C. carnea was cultured in the laboratory. The experiment was laid out in Randomized
Complete Block Design with four treatments and three replications with 30 larvae in each
replication. The treatments prepared at recommended dose were Carbendazim 50 WP
(T1, 800g/100 L of water), Ridomil MZ 68 WP (metalaxyl and mancozeb) (T2, 200g/100
L of water), Mancozeb 80 WP (T3, 120g/100 L of water) and water as control (T4). All
fungicides were broad spectrum and systemic with protective and curative action (Table
1).

The concentrations of tested fungicides were prepared in 100 ml of tap water.
Healthy leaves of mango were cut into 2 cm diameter disc and dipped in the prepared
chemicals for ﬁve seconds and placed on a sieve for 20 minutes to remove deposits of
fungicides on leaves. The treated leaves were placed in Petri plate of 2 cm diameter and
0.5 cm depth. Larvae of each instar were placed individually in Petri plate. Processed
eggs of Angoumois grain moth, Sitotroga cerealella were provided as larval food at 30
mg/larva. The tested larvae were kept under laboratory conditions (27 ± 2 oC and 60 ±
5 % relative humidity). The data concerning toxicity of fungicides were recorded as the
9

number of live larvae after 24, 48 and 72 hours. The live larvae were kept under laboratory
conditions up to pupation. Number of pupae was recorded in each treatment. The overall
effect of a test substance was judged on the basis of insect mortality levels.
Emergence rate, longevity of adults and fecundity of females were also studied.
Ten pairs of adults from each treatment were transferred to cylindrical plastic jars of 21
cm diameter and 11cm depth. Semisolid artiﬁcial diet containing yeast, honey and water
(1:1:0.5) streaked on a white chart paper strip of 22 cm length and 2.5 cm width and
hanged inside the jars.
Results
The toxicity of tested fungicides was found very low against all instars of C. carnea
larvae (Table 2). The effect of different fungicides was not significant (P≥0.05) on 1st
instar larvae after 24, 48 and 72 hrs. The highest toxicity (4.44 %) was observed in the
Ridomil treatment, whereas lowest (0 %) was recorded in control after 24 hrs. The IOBC
toxicity class was remained “1” throughout all treatments in 1st instar. The influence
of treatments including control was generally the same on 2nd and 3rd instar larvae of
C. carnea as non-significant effect (P≥0.05) was noted after 24, 48 and 72 hrs. Daily
mortality did not exceed 5.00 %. The IOBC toxicity class was remained 1 throughout all
treatments also for 2nd and 3rd instars.

Discussion
The results were analyzed by IOBC/WRPS working group (HASSAN 1989) method
as percent mortality was assigned a specific category. All the treatments were fallen
in category “1” as all fungicides were found safer to all larval instars. Fungicides are
sprayed for controlling fungal diseases on many vegetables, mango and citrus orchards.
Previously, TODA and K ASHIO ( 1997) tested 34 insecticides, six acaricides and nine
fungicides and found that acaricides and fungicides showed no toxicity. In present studies,
the applications of tested fungicides were found safer for all larval instars (1st, 2nd and
3rd). However, GUVEN and GOVEN (2001) found that fenarimol, mancozeb+metalaxyl
and micronized sulphur showed 45 %, 28 % and 16 % death rate, respectively against C.
carnea in the laboratory on larval mortality, whereas in our results it remained between
0 and 4.44 %. The recommended concentrations in the present studies had no lethal
effect on the growth and development of the beneﬁcial insect. The fungicides are mostly
used in orchards, vegetables and other crops against fungal diseases. Effect of mixture
of insecto-fungicides (Difenoconazol + Lindane, Tirametox 90 PTS, Tebuconazol +
Lindane, Gamavit 85 PSu, Supercarb T 80 PSu, Procarb L, Trialin ) showed medium
toxicity at usual rates, whereas insecticides (Oleoekalux CE, Sintox 40 CE, Dimevur
52.5 Olerocarbetox, US 1 RV) were found toxic to C. carnea (PAULIAN 1998). Therefore,
applying biological agents (C. carnea) with only fungicides will definitely helpful for
integration of different pest controlling methods. It will help in keeping the population of
predators unaffected.
Similarly, other parameters; pupation rate, adult emergence rate, longevity and
fecundity also remained unaffected from fungicides. When there was no direct exposure
of adults to fungicides, the indirect effect was minimal. Resultantly, emergence of adults
was normal as found out by MORRISON (1977a, 1977b). The longevity of adult females fed
on Macrosiphum euphorbiae during the larval stage was 46.16, with fecundity of 750.66
eggs/female. Females fed on Trialeurodes vaporariorum lived for 51.83 days and laid
818.16 eggs (YOLDAS 1994). TESFAYE and GAUTAM (2002) found that highest number of
eggs/female (1245.2) was laid when adults were supplemented with baker’s yeast granules
plus 50% honey followed by baker’s yeast granules plus castor pollen plus 50% honey
(1069.2) and castor pollen plus 50% honey (450). The reproductive period of female was
observed to reach up to 8, 9, 8 and 4 weeks when fed with baker’s yeast granules plus
castor pollen and 50% honey, baker’s yeast granules plus 50% honey, castor pollen and
50%, honey and 50% honey, respectively. Therefore, differences of fecundity between
these studies and ours did not depend on the effect of fungicides but depend on foods for
the adult.
Knowledge of the effects of pesticides on biological control agents is required for the
successful implementation of integrated pest management (IPM) programs (CABRERA et al.
2004). It was concluded that all the three fungicides have no toxic effect on larval, pupal
as well as adult stage of C. carnea when applied at larval stage. The above-mentioned
results suggest that these fungicides are safe to the predator (all stages) and can easily be
manipulated in integrated pest management (IPM) programs.

Abstract
This study was performed to examine the types of beach litter in Amami Islands, Japan. The results
of the study revealed that beach litter was more numerous in the northern parts of the islands than in the
southern parts. Different types of litter were observed between the upper, middle, and lower levels of the
beach. Pieces of broken glass dominated the lower part of the beach, while plastic materials were mostly
found in the middle level. The upper level of the beach was mostly littered with formed plastic and plastic
bottles. The origin of the litter was identiﬁed by labels on the litter, which were mostly in Chinese and
Korean languages. About 70% of beach litter written in the languages originated from foreign countries
in the spring (March - June), but the amount of beach litter from foreign countries decreased in Yoron
Islands in November. These trends regarding beach litter are discussed as the Small Island Model and the
Amani Islands Model.

Introduction
The problem of garbage is an important topic in environmental pollution. Much
garbage is discarded into the ocean and drifts ashore on the world’s beaches (MADZENA
and LASIAK 1997, WILLOUGHBY et al. 1997, ALTER et al. 1999, SOMERVILLE et al. 2003).
This garbage has adverse effects on wildlife and ruins beach scenery as well as having a
negative impact on ﬁsheries, etc. Floating garbage in the sea may contain PCBs and other
chemicals, affecting birds, ﬁsh, and marine mammals that swallow the small plastic pellets
in the sea and on the beach (DA-SILVA et al. 2003). These plastic materials may release
chemicals in the stomachs of animals, resulting in death or injury.
Many small islands have no active industry, and rely on tourism making the scenery
an important factor in their economy. Dirty beaches may adversely affect tourism in
such areas. The Amami Islands are located in the southern part of Japan and include
eight islands. Kikai, Okinoerabu, and Yoron Islands belong to the Amami Islands and
have very small areas of 56.87, 40.35, and 20.49 km2, respectively (AOYAMA 2001). Each
island has many beautiful beaches, which are very popular not only for local people but
also for tourists. However, large amounts of beach litter were observed on these islands
(ex.YAMAGUCHI 1998, FUJIEDA 2002), which might adversely affect tourism and wildlife.
Therefore, the reduction of beach litter is very important for conservation of both wildlife
and the tourism-based economies of such islands.
To decrease the amount of beach litter, it is important to determine both its
distribution pattern and origin. Therefore, the purposes of this study were: 1) to determine
trends in observed beach litter in each of the Amani Islands, 2) to discuss these trends as
the Small Island Model and Amami Islands Model.

Materials and Methods
This study was carried out on Yoron Island from 11th to 12th March and from 11th
to 12th November 2003, on Okinoerabu Island from 31st May to 1st June 2003, and
on Kikai Island from 10th to 11th June 2003 (Fig. 1). Research areas were chosen in 2
beaches each in the northern and southern parts of each island. Research was carried out
during low tide. Emerged area (from terrestrial fringe to wave break point) in each beach
in Yoron and Okinoerabu Islands was divided into 3 tidal levels (upper, middle, and
lower). A quadrate (10m × 10m) was ﬁxed in each level. On the other hand, a quadrate
(30m × 30m) was ﬁxed in the middle intertidal level in Kikai Island.
Fig. 1. Map showing the Amami Islands and the islands examined in this study (Yoron, Kikai,
and Okinoerabu). Small arow showed research beach in each island. N and S showed
northern and southern beach, respectively.
All artiﬁcial beach litter was collected in each quadrate of Yoron and Okinoerabu
Islands and divided into 7 categories: broken glass, plastic materials, formed plastic, glass
bottles, cans, plastic bottles, and other. As formed plastic is broken easily, only pieces
larger than 3cm × 3cm × 3cm were counted.
The origins of the litter on the beaches of each of the 3 islands were determined from
the language on the labels.

Results
Type of beach litter
Beach litter was divided into 7 categories. Larger amounts of beach litter were seen
in the northern parts of the islands than in the southern parts.
Plastic Materials
Plastic materials were more numerous in the southern as compared with the northern
parts of the three islands. They were mainly observed at the middle and upper intertidal
levels in Okinoerabu and Yoron islands (Fig. 2). The majority of plastic materials were
pieces of plastic materials and ﬁshing ﬂoats.

Islands. Yoron1 and Yoron 2 indicated a research in Yoron Island in March and
November, respectively.
Broken Glass
Broken glass was observed frequently in both northern and southern parts of all three
islands, and was mainly observed at the lower intertidal level in Okinoerabu and Yoron
Islands (Fig. 3). The pieces of glass were most likely from bottles that had ﬂoated onto the
beach and broken.
Formed plastic
Formed plastic was greater in number in the northern than in southern parts of
the three islands. Formed plastic was observed mainly at the upper intertidal level in
Okinoerabu and Yoron islands (Fig. 4).

Plastic bottles, Glass Bottles, Cans
Plastic bottles showed a pattern similar to that of formed plastic, with greater
numbers in northern as compared with southern parts of the three islands. They were
mainly observed at the upper intertidal level in Okinoerabu and Yoron islands (Fig. 5a).

Although glass bottles were seldom observed on the beach, small glass bottles
(50ml) were sometimes observed (Fig. 5b). There were no differences in number of
ﬂoating glass bottles between the northern and southern parts of the islands.
Cans were sometimes observed only in the northern parts of islands (Fig. 5c).

Other
Electric light bulbs and ﬂuorescent lights were also observed on the beach, although
in relatively small numbers.
Origin of Beach Litter in Amami Islands
About 10% of collected beach litter in these islands was revealed the originated
country. About 70% of beach litter written in languages originated from foreign countries
in the spring (March - June) as determined from the labels of the litter, which were mostly
written in Chinese and Korean languages (Fig. 6), although the amounts of beach litter in
Yoron from foreign countries decreased in November. Products written in both languages
were mainly observed in ﬁshing ﬂoats, plastic lighters, and plastic bottles. Other countries
included Malaysia, Indonesia, the Philippines, and Thailand. Products written in these
languages were mainly observed in plastic bottles. Products made in the USA, such as
cigarette packs and plastic materials, were also observed. Products written in Japanese
were observed in plastic bottles, cans, glass bottles and plastic materials.

Discussion
The two islands showed similar trends in distribution of beach litter on each type
of beach throughout the year (Figs. 2, 3, 4, 5). The origin of beach litter showed similar
trends in the three islands (Fig. 6).
Distribution Pattern of Litter on Beaches
The amounts of beach litter were greater in northern than in southern parts of all
islands, although each type of beach litter showed different trends. HIGASHIYAMA-GAKUEN
(1996) discussed the relationship between environmental factors (wind, wave action,
and current) and distribution of beach litter. Light and ﬂoatable materials were observed
frequently in the northern parts of the islands (Figs. 4, 5a). However, relatively heavy
materials (e.g., plastic materials) (Fig. 2) were observed frequently in southern parts of
the islands. “Kuroshio” warm current passes through the Amami Islands but the slope
countercurrent makes complicate current system in this area. These currents are probably
closely related with these distribution patterns of the beach litter, however, the system
is unknown. Further studies are required to reveal the relationship with the current and
distribution of the beach litter. On the other hand, light and floatable materials were
observed frequently at the upper intertidal level, while relatively heavy materials such as
plastics were observed frequently at the middle intertidal level. Wave action carries both
light and relatively heavy materials to the middle level of the beach. Winds might carry
KAWAI: Beach Litter in Amami Island, Japan
21
light materials to the upper intertidal level, while relatively heavy materials would remain
at the middle intertidal level.
The two islands showed similar trends in distribution of beach litter on each type
of beach throughout the year. Therefore, the trend of observed beach litter on the beach
in the Amami Islands was summarized as the Small Island Model (Fig. 7). Broken glass
was observed frequently at the lower tidal level in both northern and southern parts of all
islands. Plastic materials were more numerous in the middle intertidal level in southern
parts of the islands. Plastic bottles, formed plastic, and floatable plastic materials were
observed frequently in the upper intertidal areas on the northern parts of the islands.
Fig. 7. Summary (the small Islands model) of beach litter in Yoron and Okinoerabu Islands.
Width of solid bar in three tidal levels showed amount of beach litter. The wider solid
bar is, the more beach litter was observed.
Origin of Beach Litter in Amami Islands
Products with labels written in Chinese, Korean, and English (made in Malaysia,
Indonesia, the Philippines, Thailand, and the USA) were observed on the beaches of
the Amami islands (Fig. 6). On the other hand, other researchers reported that products
with labels written in Chinese, Korean, English, Russian, and Arabic were observed in
22
South Paciﬁc Studies Vol. 26, No.1, 2005
parts of Japan lying further north than the Amami Islands (HIGASHIYAMA-GAKUEN 1996,
YAMAGUCHI 1998, FUJIEDA 1999). Therefore, the beach litter on the Amami Islands was
characterized by a dominance of items with labels in Chinese and Korean ﬂoating in from
Southeast Asia. The results of the present study were similar to research at Kagoshima
Japan reported previously by FUJIEDA (1999), which indicated that beach litter originated
in China and Taiwan.
Most of the beach litter originated from foreign countries. There are two possible
explanations for this trend. First, the Amami Islands are located in the southern part of
Japan and only two large Japanese cities (Naha and Naze Cities) are located nearby.
Therefore, little Japanese litter ﬂoated onto the beaches of the Amami Islands. Second, a
warm current arising near the Philippines passes through the Amami Islands and ﬂows to
southern Honshu. Large amounts of beach litter from foreign countries were observed on
the Japanese coast beside the Japan Sea (THE MINISTRY of CONSTRUCTION 2000), suggesting
that garbage may ﬂoat in the Japan Sea and the East China Sea. Therefore, large amounts
of beach litter originating in other countries were observed in the Amami Islands. A
few products made in the USA were also found on these islands. These might have
been consumed in Southeast Asia or might have been taken to these islands by both the
“Equatorial” and “Kuroshio” Currents.

garbage near Amami Islands. Solid arrow showed ﬂow of garbage. The wider solid bar
is, the more beach litter was observed. Striped arrow showed ﬂow of current.

23
Amami Islands Model
The flow of beach litter in the Amami Islands was summarized as the Amami
Islands Model (Fig. 8). The pattern of litter on the Amami Islands was characterized by a
dominance of litter from foreign countries. Large amounts of garbage might be ﬂoating
in the East China Sea and might be taken to the Amami Islands by the current. Large
amounts of beach litter were also from South East Asian countries or were dumped from
fishing boats and passenger liners. The beach litter originating from Japan might have
originated from the islands themselves and from southern Kyushu and Ryukyu Islands.
Beach litter is transported by current, wave action, and wind, and there are seasonal
changes in all of these factors. Therefore, further studies are required to determine the
seasonal changes in the patterns of litter.

Critical Thinking and Diversity Experiences: The Case of
An American Paciﬁc Island University

Abstract
Critical thinking is an important learning outcome for college students. A review of the literature
shows that this skill is affected by a number of factors, including exposure to cultural diversity. The
University of Guam (UOG) located in the western Paciﬁc is multicultural and multilingual. Using data
from focus groups, this study examined the perceived influence of diversity experiences on critical
thinking among UOG students in the College of Professional Studies (Business, Education, and Nursing).
The study participants deﬁned critical thinking as the act of independently and systematically weighing
evidence to make an evaluation and judgment, to determine merits, and to increase a desirable outcome.
Diversity experiences helped the participants to develop sensitivity and awareness of self. The ﬁndings of
this study conﬁrm the results of prior studies on diversity and critical thinking. Educational importance of
the ﬁndings was discussed in detail.
Key words: critical thinking, diversity experience, critical academic skills, focus group studies
Introduction
One of the most important aims of education, especially at the college level, is to
foster students’ ability to think critically, to reason, and to use judgment effectively in
decision-making (MCMILLAN 1987). Guiding students toward becoming critical thinkers
has always been a primary goal of the university experience (GWARTNEY 2003); however,
“Is critical thinking a way to think about subject matter, or is it a way of thinking about
thinking? Is it a kind of knowledge or a skill or habit?”(p. 22). There is no agreed upon
deﬁnition of critical thinking and many different instruments are used for its assessment
(RYKIEL 2000). In management courses, “critical thinking skills are to do research, analyze
data, critically evaluate the results, and present the findings in a well-argued paper or
well-crafted presentation” (MALEKZADEH 1998, p. 590). “Critical academic skills are
measures of student performance…. Critical thinking skills, speech, writing, reading,
group interaction, and quantitative reasoning skills have many overlapping components”
(LARSON and WISSMA 2000, p. 43). Critical thinking is an important learning outcome for
college students, even though it seems that they are encouraged to learn or memorize what
is written in textbooks.
Diversity is a characteristic of American higher learning; in fact, “one of the
strengths of American higher education is its remarkable diversity” (RYKIEL 2000, p. 47).
The profile of the student body in American higher education has drastically changed
(MARCY 2004). Over the past three decades, people have witnessed the entrance of women

to American higher education in large numbers in the 1970s, the open recruitment of older
students in the late 1970s and in the 1980s, and the active enticement of ethnic minorities
in the 1980s and 1990s (MUSIL 1996). The Gladstone Web site (Summer Diversity 1999)
has described “diversity” as follows:
The concept of diversity encompasses acceptance and respect. It means
understanding that each individual is unique, and recognizing our individual
differences. These can be along the dimensions of race, age, physical abilities,
religious beliefs, political beliefs, or other ideologies. It is the exploration of these
differences in a safe, positive, and nurturing environment. It is about understanding
each other and moving beyond simple tolerance to embracing and celebrating the
rich dimensions of diversity contained within each individual.
Diversity should be embraced and celebrated; students should be encouraged to
integrate a multicultural perspective that helps them become critical consumers of culture
because openness for cultural learning is at the heart of building a multicultural society
(ORTIZ and RHOADS 2000). GARMAN’s (2004) study found that factors associated with the
development of greater multicultural awareness and sensitivity are openness to diversity,
self-reﬂection, and intercultural experiences.
A variety of studies examined the influence of diversity experiences on critical
thinking. For instance, students’ involvement in diversity experiences during college have
statistically signiﬁcant positive effects on standardized measures of critical thinking skills
(PASCARELLA, PALMER, MOYE and PIERSON 2001). Academic and social integration plays an
important role in college students’ perceived gains in critical thinking and communication
skills: critical thinking refers to the ability to think analytically and solve problems
effectively, whereas communication skills are commonly referred to as the ability to write
and speak clearly and effectively (LI, LONG and SIMPSON 1999). The relationships between
diversity experience and academic progress are similar for minority and non-minority
students (EIMERS 2001). Aspects of the general college experiences, rather than particular
disciplinary differences, influenced cognitive development, including critical thinking
(INMAN and PASCARELLA 1998).
An American Paciﬁc Island University
As a U.S. institution of higher learning in the western Paciﬁc and as the only fouryear university in Micronesia, The University of Guam (UOG) serves the communities
of Guam, Micronesia, and the neighboring regions of the Pacific and Asia. Just as the
United States has higher participation rates for women than for men in higher education
(BANK 1995), as seen in Table 1, so at UOG the number of female students (1851, or
62%) is larger by far than that of male students (1137, or 38%). In fall 2003, the total
student enrollment reached almost 3000 with a full time faculty base of 181 (UOG
Human Resources Office). UOG students come from Guam, the U.S. mainland, the
various islands of Micronesia, the Philippines, India, Korea, Japan, China, and Taiwan.
Approximately 90% of the student body is either indigenous (called “Chamorros”), or
Asian and Paciﬁc Islander decent (see Table 1), while approximately 60% of the faculty
is from a Caucasian background (Human Resources Ofﬁce). UOG is a diverse university
campus within the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC), as expressed

by Manuel Esteban, co-Chair of the WASC accreditation team, who visited UOG in 2000:
“People in the mainland talk about diversity, and most struggle just to get a student body
that is representative of a region. But here you have an exceptionally diverse population,
both in terms of the students, the faculty, and the administration” (Triton’s Call, March 29,
2000, p. 2).

Teaching at UOG is challenging and UOG provides an excellent setting for the study
of cultural diversity and critical thinking. Two principal objectives of this study were:
• To achieve a better understanding of how undergraduate students define critical
thinking.
• To achieve a better understanding of the perceived inﬂuence of diversity experiences
on the development of critical thinking among undergraduate students.
Methodology
Sample and Data Collection
Focus groups were used for data collection in this study. The participants for the
focus groups were identiﬁed and recruited from the UOG undergraduate students enrolled
in the fall 2003 semester in the College of Professional Studies. The College consists
of the School of Business, the School of Education, and the School of Nursing. Six to
eight students were selected based on the student rosters of each of the three schools—as
recommended by KRUEGER and CASEY (2000): “The ideal size of a focus group for most
non-commercial topics is six to eight participants” (p. 73).
Three focused interviews were conducted—one for each school. A focused interview
is a special form of in-depth interviews in which the researcher attempts to focus the
discussion on a particular experience (KRUEGER and CASEY 2000). The homogeneity of
participants is, in general, an assumption of focus groups. This has the advantage of high
face validity, but the generalization of focus group data can be limited. The goal of the
focus study is to understand respondents’ points of view and to be able to communicate
these to the audience, so from a strict sense (KRUEGER and CASEY 2000):
one cannot generalize, but what we suggest is the concept of transferability. That
is, when a person wants to use the results, he or she should think about whether
the ﬁndings could transfer into another environment. What we suggest is that you
consider the methods, procedures, and audience and then decide the degree to
which these results ﬁt the situation you face. (p. 203)
To ensure that participants actually show up for the session, the following steps
were taken: the establishment of convenient meeting times and places; the sending of
a reminder e-mail one week before the scheduled session; and the telephoning of each
potential participant two days before the session. Videotaping was used as recommended
by WIERSMA (2000): “If focus groups are used, videotaping can be effective. It is difﬁcult
for an observer to pick up the entire discussion because of the rate at which it occurs”
(p. 249). Videotapes also allow the researcher to review repeatedly for the purpose of
obtaining more information. Because of the exploratory nature of this study, specific
hypotheses had not been established. Each session continued about 80 minutes.

Findings and Discussion
On the days of the sessions, 5 female and 2 male (n = 7) students (3 Chamorros, 2
Phillpinos, 1 Chinese, and 1 Micronesian) showed up from the School of Education. From
Business, 3 female and 2 male (n = 5) students (2 Chamorros, 1 Phillpino, 1 Chinese, and
1 Korean) came. From Nursing, 6 female and 2 male (n = 8) students (3 Chamorros, 2
Philipinos, 1 White, 1 Indian, and 1 Paciﬁc Islander) showed up. Most of the participants
were juniors and seniors.
Topic 1: Deﬁnitions of Critical Thinking
When asked what critical thinking meant to the participants, the typical answers
of the students in the School of Business were “judgments and evaluations, involving
life experiences, human interactions, and cultural awareness and, oftentimes, involving
analytical thinking,” supporting MACPHERSON’s (1999) deﬁnition: critical thinking is the
ability to perform assessment tasks based on evaluation and judgment. The participants’
points of view are similar to LARSON and WIERSMA’s (2000) categories of critical academic
skills (problem solving, culture and society, oral communication, and group interaction).
Students in Education defined critical thinking as “analysis, synthesis, and evaluation
following Bloom’s Taxonomy of educational objectives that reﬂects successive degrees of
cognitive domain,” supporting LI, LONG and SIMPSON’s (1999) deﬁnition: “Critical thinking
refers to the ability to think analytically and solve problems effectively” (p. 44). Students
in Nursing deﬁned critical thinking as “a situation analysis, which involves the way of
knowing outside the box; in the nursing program, education is nothing but a process,
involving rationales, principles, comprehensions, formulated goals, and alternative
solutions.”
The deﬁnitions of the participants can be summarized as follows: critical thinking
might be the act of independently and systematically weighing evidence to make an
evaluation and judgment, to determine merits, and to increase a desirable outcome using
cognitive skills and strategies. The goal of critical thinking is to arrive at a judgment,
whereas problem solving is a process that comprises many decision points at which a
judgment must be made (MACPHERSON 1999). Perhaps, for college students, to practice
critical thinking is as important as being able to solve math problems, just as math skills
apply to the everyday situation, critical thinking is a life-skill.
Topic 2: Diversity Experiences and Critical Thinking
When asked how or what diversity experiences influenced the perceived
development of critical thinking, the typical answers of the focus group participants were
as follows:
Biased generalization
•
Prejudices, biases, and stereotypes are everywhere, even at UOG. People use a
stereotype because of its easy application. Coping with these negative factors, I
have learned how important for us to share our own cultural experiences in order
to develop positive relations.
•
Through interactions with ethnically diverse students and the faculty, I have
particularly learned that we should not generalize people. We do, for instance,
30
South Paciﬁc Studies Vol. 26, No.1, 2005
Koreans are like this, or Japanese are like this…. This kind of generalization is
wrong and dangerous.
•
Many of the UOG students have dual-ethnic backgrounds (half Chamorro and half
Philipino, for example), so we have a tendency to understand other cultures, and
at the same time I have learned the importance of becoming conﬁdent with my
own self-identity.
Stereotypes are “examples of categories of people… most stereotypes end up as
negative labels placed on individuals simply because they are members of a particular
group” (CUSHNER, MCCLELLAND, and SAFFORD 2000, p. 82). People use a stereotype (which
is a biased generalization), not because it is widely known and perpetuated, but because
people have learned it as part of their culture from generation to generation (LEFRANCOIS
1999 ) . Specifically, “Knowledge of cultural diversity is largely constructed from
stereotypical images fostered by families, friends, communities, and media” (SOMMER
2002, p. 276). It may be that issues that are most deeply related to a sense of self are the
most profound cultural experiences on campus. As SOMMER (2001) put it, “Faculty and
students bring their personal cultural experiences, biases, prejudices, and expectations to
the classroom. Encouraging dialog and openness about cultural similarities and differences
among faculty and students offers a tremendous opportunity” (p.276). Through these
experiences, students can explore perspectives outside their own range of experiences,
increasing their cultural awareness.
Beyond black and white
•
When talk about diversity in the United States, discussions usually involve the
black and white populations. Here in Guam and at UOG the term diversity extends
beyond black and white, including Asians and Micronesians.
•
I appreciate the diverse population of the UOG students. Through class meetings
and ﬁeld experiences as well as out-of-class experiences (e.g., clubs, and social
activities), I have learned that even facial expression and body language can help
us understand one another.
•
We have been aware of the differences in race and language since we are very
young; UOG is valuable because we are able to practice cultural sensitivity, and
critical self-reﬂection.
•
Non-traditional aged students are welcome. They have lots of life experiences and
thus associating with them helps us to enhance survival skills as well as people
skills.
Most race discussions in the U.S. tend to end up as black and white, as if no one
else really existed (K NEFELKAMP and D AVID -L ANG 2003). The issue of race at UOG
involves an eclectic sampling of ethnic backgrounds represented in the university
community, providing a rich environment for student’s challenges in developing a critical
consciousness relating racial, cultural, and ethnic diversity. Self-reflection and cultural
critical consciousness, in GAY and KIRKLAND’s (2003) words, “are imperative to improving
the educational opportunities and outcomes for students of color. They involve thoroughly
analysing and carefully monitoring both personal beliefs and instructional behaviors about
the value of cultural diversity” (p.182). Critical reﬂection is “a personal and challenging
look at one’s identity as an individual person and as an active professional”(HOWARD 2003,
p.201). As WARD (2002) put it, “Meaningful ﬁeld experiences that further the expansion of
INOUE: Critical Thinking and Diversity Experiences
31
knowledge and appreciation of people coming from various cultural backgrounds” (p.22).
The participants recognized that working on group projects with ethnically diverse
students promote their critical and creative thinking skills. This point of view supports
LYNN’s (1998) observation: “One of the richest vehicles for enhancing student learning in
the classroom is the diversity of students themselves” (p.123). DAVIS (1993) recommends
giving assignments and exams that recognize students’ diverse backgrounds and special
interests. In addition to the diversiﬁed student population (in terms of ethnicity and social
status), non-traditional-aged students are greatly increasing in American higher education.
UOG is not an exception. As the participants described, “It is beneficial to tap the
knowledge and experiences of non-traditional students, allowing younger students to learn
from older students, and vice versa” (FINKEL 1999, p.33).
Based on the discussion above, as THOMPSON, MARTIN, RICHARDS and BRANSON (2003)
reviewed, critical thinking is a process that is reﬂective and imaginative; an intellectual
function of adulthood, and a necessity for personal survival; and an interpretation,
analysis, inference, evaluation, and explanation, which make up the interactive process of
critical thinking.
Teachers as facilitators
•
UOG is small and students have lots of opportunities to interact with professors,
learning a particular subject. Students also learn their critical approaches to
teaching. UOG professors know student names, which makes it easier for the
students to communicate with them.
•
Good teachers facilitate students to think critically and analytically, providing
knowledge and applications useful in real world situations, and using a classroom
as community.
•
Learning from ethnically diverse teachers is beneficial. Integrating their own
cultural experiences into the learning climate makes the teaching process
even better. Some professors’ instruction is based on the culturally pluralistic
curriculum, using up-dated textbooks.
The participants appreciated the fact that UOG is small, which enables them to
have informal contact with the faculty. Ongoing contact outside the classroom provides
strong motivation for students to perform well in class, and students who come to ofﬁce
hours can get benefit from the one-to-one conversation and attention (DAVIS 1993).
Students are rewarded by taking a more up-dated curriculum that teaches them about
diversity, integration, globalization, and critical thinking (MALEKZADEH 1998). WARD
(2002) maintains that teachers should be facilitators and authentic individuals who share
relevant personal experiences in terms of racism, positive human relations, and critical
thinking. Indeed, “Effective teaching strategies for multicultural education emphasize
educating students to become critical thinkers…. Students are encouraged to discuss,
debate, disagree, and ultimately teach one another” (SOMMER 2001, pp.277-278). Palmer’s
notion of “we teach who we are” has significant implications for teachers of today’s
learners (HOWARD 2003, p.198). Therefore, “Teachers knowing who they are as people,
understanding the contexts in which they teach, and questioning their knowledge and
assumptions are as important as the mastery of techniques for instructional effectiveness”
(GAY and KIRKLAND 2003, p.181).

Conclusion
This study was not intended to generalize but to understand the participants’ points
of view on two topics. Even though the ﬁndings are unique to the participants, this study
has revealed:
•
Ethnic diversity provides students with opportunities to enhance cultural
sensitivity, which in turn can enrich the intellectual development including critical
thinking.
•
Students gain insight into how to maintain their own high ethnic values and
behaviors and how to think about cultural and racial matters scholarly and
critically.
•
Students learn to attach positive feelings to multicultural experiences so that
they feel respectful toward other ethnic and cultural groups, developing critical
reﬂection.
In the final analysis, diversity is given in a university such as UOG, and such
diversity represents an opportunity and a potential source of enrichment in higher learning.
In other words, the findings of this focus study suggest that UOG is the best equipped
to help students move from a denial or a minimization of difference to an acceptance,
an adaptation, and an integration of cultural diversity into their own worldview. Faculty
members at an institution of higher education like UOG must continuously challenge
their perceptions and attitudes as well as their pedagogic practices in the classroom.
In responding to the multicultural nature of UOG, the future study should focus on the
faculty members’ actual practices of diversity and critical thinking.

Abstract
This paper aims to examine the form of democracy practiced in Tongan society as evidenced by the
way commoners voted in the 2001 elections in ‘Eua Island, the Kingdom of Tonga. The elections reveal
what Tongan commoners think about democracy and what they seek for in elections. Three elections are
described and examined in this study; namely, one for the Town Ofﬁcer, one for the District Ofﬁcer, and
one for the People’s Representative, who is a member of the Tongan parliament. Each election is held
once every three years.
The following are the results. Firstly, the result of the election for the People’s Representative in
‘Eua Island had religious signiﬁcance. It was not truly democratic. The People’s Representative chosen
by the commoners represents the commoners’ opinion of the king’s government. The candidates were all
members of the Free Church (the former king’s church, but presently the church of those who are against
the king). There was no candidate who belonged to the Free Wesleyan Church, the church of the present
king. The Tongan democratic movement promotes only those leaders whose aim is to change the political
system from a kingdom to a democratic society.
Secondly, the elections for the Town and District Officers represent the personal relationships
between voters and the candidates. It favors those candidates who are related by kinship (based on the
traditional extended family) and by religious party afﬁliation in the village community. It is clear that
Tongan commoners do not vote according to their own free choice. It concludes that in ‘Eua Island, the
kind of democracy that exists has been adapted by the commoners. It is not a western democracy whose
purpose is to reﬂect the people’s right to choose their leaders freely.
Key words: commoner, election, democracy, Tonga

従来、人類学の先行研究では 1980 年代から生起したトンガの民主化運動とその
推進者である人民代表議員を選出する選挙が議論されてきた (Campbell 1992, 須藤
2000)。そこでは、庶民は王や貴族が行う国家運営に対して、切実な問題意識を抱い
ておらず、民主的な政治体制への変革を求める運動への参加を積極的に行わないと報
告されている。その背景には、民主化を推進する人民代表議員に一票を投じても、当
選後の人民代表議員による改革は何も実現できないという庶民の認識があるためで、
この認識からくる倦怠感が影響しているといわれる (Campbell 1999, 須藤 2000)。
しかし、こうした議論の中心は、王国における民主主義の萌芽に着目するもので、
より詳細な状況を知るには、背景にある村レベルでの庶民が置かれている状況と彼ら
の投票事情を考慮に入れる必要がある。そこで本稿の目的は、トンガ王国で３年毎に
行われる３つの役職（村長、地区長、人民代表議員）の選出をめぐる立候補者と投票
者の関係、各選挙の得票数に考察を加え、王国という階層社会における選挙を庶民が
どのように捉え、何を求めて票を投じるかを比較・検討する。そして、トンガの離島
にあたるエウア島民にとっての民主主義の価値観の介在の在り方を明らかにする。
方法論としては、文化人類学の調査方法である現地での参与観察とインタビューを
用いた 2)。筆者は、調査地エウア島 3) の選挙監理委員長である政府代表（他島の知事
にあたる）4）に同行して、各選挙（村長・地区長・人民代表）の投票日に島内の全て
の投票所を訪問した。選挙結果に関しては、即日開票の現場となった、エウア島の裁
判所内にて開票現場に立ち会い聞き取り調査により記録した。人民代表選挙の公式な
政府機関紙に発表された得票数は、開票現場での結果を政府代表が首都の総理府に電
話連絡したものである。尚、村長・地区長選挙については、各候補者の得票数は新聞
記事とならないため、本稿で提示したデータは、村落レベルの選挙記録を報告する貴
重なデータになると考えられる。
トンガ王国における民主主義の介在
選挙は民主政治の根幹といわれる。民主政治にとって不可欠な条件のなかには、立
候補の自由、選挙運動の自由、政治活動の自由、思想と言論の自由など基本的人権に
関わる自由がなければならない。これらの自由が存在しなかったり、厳しく制限され
ているところでは民主政治が行われているとはいえない（森脇 1998）。しかし、この
ような民主政治の前提は、西欧の歴史的な経験から発生した運動の結果であって、そ
れはいわゆる非西欧社会で近年みられるようになった民主化運動とは必ずしも同一で
はない。このため、非西欧社会の民主化運動を議論する際には考慮を要する。これを
現代の政治の分析でしばしば用いられているポピュリズム 5) の概念に照らし合わせ
ると、現代世界でみられるのは、広い範囲にわたって存在している適応型の政治体
系 6) で、形態の点では最も一枚岩的な体系でさえも、実践の点では分裂的で、「前」
民主主義的なものであると指摘できる（ラクラウ 1985: p143）。
この指摘は、オセアニア地域の先行研究で 1990 年代に盛んに議論されてきた「歴
史的もつれあい」（historical entanglement）の議論 7) に類似する。それは、それまでの

伝統社会は、植民地経験を経て、近代的なシステムを受容するが、それは外部から与
えられたものや制度であって、その社会の内部から生じたものではないということで
ある。従って、近代システムの定着は、一見すると西欧の概念の導入に見えるが、当
該社会での受容の過程で独自の変容をとげて存在する。
トンガの民主化とキリスト教の関係
1875 年憲法の第６条では、「安息日はトンガにおいて永遠に神聖なもので、労働、
娯楽、商売を安息日に行うことを法的に禁止する。またこの日に結ばれたいかなる合
意や文書の作成は無効とし、政府はこれを保護しない」と規定された（Adsett 1989）。
この第６条によって、現在も人々は教会に礼拝に出かけること以外の一切の活動を禁
止されている。商店やタクシーの営業、娯楽やスポーツ、航空機の離発着までが禁止
されている。トンガ人のほぼ 100 パーセントがキリスト教を信仰している。その大半
を占めるのは、王の所属する自由ウェズリアン教会である（Fig. 1）。

この第６条をめぐる近年の議論には、保守的な動きと緩和的な動きがある。2001 年、
日曜の航空機の離発着の許可をめぐる国会での論議は、その保守的な例で、民主化運

にもかかわらず、日曜に飛行機の離発着を認めないという立場をとったのである。こ

く民主主義の実行を求めている訳ではないといえる。また 2002 年、日曜に教会に礼

これに対して、パン屋と首都近郊のリゾート地の営業は、緩和的な動きの例である。
日曜の午後のパン屋には、夕方の礼拝を終えた人々で行列ができるほど賑わう。また、
日曜には海に入ることも禁止されているが、観光客に混ざってリゾート地で過ごす貴
族の姿は、「海に入るのはやめなさい、テボロ（悪魔）が来て連れて行かれるから」
と教会の日曜学校に向かう子供に言い聞かせる親のセリフとは、対照的な光景である
ことは間違いない。
近代的政治システムと伝統的政治システムの並立
トンガ王国には、1875 年の憲法制定と王国の統一以降、王と政府によって導入さ
れた近代的な政治システム（政府代表、村長、地区長、人民代表議員）が存在する。
1965 年まで首相が任命してきた地区長と村長の任期は３年で、現在は庶民（トゥア）
の中から選挙で選ばれる。
無人島を除く多数の島嶼は行政上５つの諸島群に分けられ、それぞれに知事が置か
れる（Fig. 2）。知事はトンガ政府の内閣を構成する。国会でこれら５つの行政区の代
表を務めるのは、庶民を有権者とする一般選挙で選ばれた人民代表（ファカフォフォ
ンガ･カカイ）と、貴族選挙で貴族から選出される貴族議員（ファカフォフォンガ･ホ
ウエイキ）である。
こうした各島に配置された村長と地区長は、近代的な政治システムの象徴であるの
に対して、各村にはその土地の伝統的なチーフとチーフの従者（トーキング･チーフ）
の称号保持者が存在する。各タイトルの保有者は１名である。彼らは、トンガの伝統
的な慣習と深く関係している。本来、伝統的なチーフと庶民の関係は、チーフは自己
の所有地を親族や配下の家族に割当て、庶民は所属するチーフの土地に居住・耕作
し、租税を支払う義務（ファトンギア）を負った。庶民はチーフの命令に服従しなけ
ればならず、ときにチーフは庶民の土地を取りあげることができたという（Campbell
2001,Gifford 1929:pp174-175）。そして、親族集団を構成する各家族の家長は、婚姻、
土地の分配、労働についての決定をチーフに求めたといわれている。現在、各村に存
在するチーフは、儀礼や国事の際に庶民を先導し、王族や貴族の来島時には、政治的
な体現者となる。

エウア島の人民代表選挙
エウア島の状況
エウア島の人口は、トンガタプ島の約 20 分の１にあたる 4,934 人で、世帯数は
863 軒が 15 カ村に分かれて居住する (TONGA GOVERNMENT 1996)。この島の人口増加は
著しく、1892 年当時、トンガの総人口が 19,193 人であったのに対してエウア島の人
口は 353 人であった ( 英国議会資料 2001)。つまり、エウア島の人口は約 100 年間で
14 倍に増加した。
エウア島の土地は、王族地、貴族地、政府地の３つに区分され、全 15 村うち２村
は王族地に、残りの 13 村は政府地にある。政府地の 13 村のうち９村は、1950 年代
の火山噴火で強制移住となった王国の北部のニウアフォオウ島の人々の村である。ま
た 1960 年代にはエウア島に王の屋敷（パレス）が建設され、王と共にトンガタプ島
から来島した人々の村 1 村が新たに開設されている。これら 15 あるすべての村には
それぞれ村長（オフィサ･コロ）が置かれている。
移住者を含むエウア島では、1950 年以前からの居住者とその村を「エウア」と呼び、
ニウアフォオウ島の人々とその村を「ニウア」と呼んでいる。これが現在の島北部の「エ
ウア」地区と南部の「ニウア」地区という、行政上の島の区分となっている。これに
対して、ニウアフォオウ島からの移住者は、自分たちとその住む村を「エウア･フォ
オウ」( 新エウア ) と呼び、｢ニウア｣とは呼ばない。一方、以前からの居住者とそ
の村を「エウア･モトゥア」（古いエウア、旧エウア）と呼んでいる。こうした呼称の
微妙なズレは、移住者と旧住民の意識の差だけでなく、土地の割当てをめぐる先住者
と後来者の確執を反映する。各地区には１名の地区長（プレ･ファカヴァへ）が任命
されている。
国会でエウア島の代表を務めるのは、庶民選出のエウア島出身の人民代表議員と貴
族選挙でトンガタプ島で第四位となった貴族である。尚、エウア島にある貴族地の保
有者の貴族 W 氏ではない。エウア島には知事はおかれず政府代表（ファカフォフォ
ンガ･プレアンガ）が１名配置されている。政府代表は知事でないため内閣の構成員
ではない。
各村のチーフ（少なくともエウア島の「エウア」地区の村々において）は、王族と
の親族関係にあり、「ニウア」地区におけるその関係は、出身地（移住以前）の島に
おいてのみ認められる (Table 1)。これに対して、トーキング･チーフ（チーフの従者）
のタイトルは、トゥポウ１世の時代以降に、新たに王が新設と授与を行っている。彼
らは、王族との親族関係も血縁関係を持たないことが確認された。村にはこの他に、
チーフの血縁者を意味するトト･エイキと呼ばれる人々が存在する (Table 2)。彼らは、
王族や貴族がエウア島に来島する時の実質的な世話役である。つまり、王は王族や貴
族との親族関係にある「村付き」のチーフを各村に配置することで、地方権力の組替
えと王国の統治体制の強化を図ったのである。

A、C、D 氏が共に出身村と現在の居住地が一致しているのに対して、B 氏は出身
が他島である上に現在の居住地の滞在年数は３年以下であった。
人民代表選挙の投票日の前夜（この日は貴族議員選挙が行われた）、エウア島では、
選挙の立候補者が主催するカヴァ飲みの会（ファイカヴァ）が、ニウア地区 An 村の
FWC 教会のホールで開かれた。夜８時からのファイカヴァの開催に関して、事前に
島民に参加を呼びかけるラジオ放送が行われた。カヴァの飲み会には、地区や村を問
わず、島の男性が参加した。
一方、村に残った女性の間では、ある婦人は、「A 氏以外は、ニウア（地区）の人
間だから再任されるに決まっている。他には考えられない」と語り、またある男性は、
「A 氏は自分の親戚にあたるから再選される」といった。またある夫人たちは、立候
補者 B 氏に対して「議員選挙に立候補したのは、外国（アメリカ、ニュージーラン
ド、オーストラリア）行きのビザ（渡航許可証）が欲しいからだ」といった。渡航ビ
ザが無ければトンガでは国外へは渡航できない。実際、議員になると外国への渡航ビ
ザは、通常申請するよりも迅速に、容易に手に入る。B 氏は労働省の公務員で、独身
の 20 代の青年であった。島では非常に限られた現金収入の職場で好待遇にある公務
員は、人々の羨望の的であるが、20 代の若者の立候補にほとんどの村人は関心を示
さなかった。
投票日、夕方４時で締め切られた投票は、エウア島の裁判所内で即日開票された。
この選挙結果から次の二点が指摘できる。第一に、有権者の票が親族関係に傾斜して
いる。例えば、A 氏の親戚にあたる Oh 村の L 家では、有権者の５人全員が A 氏に投
票した。A 氏の当選について、「立候補者 A 氏の母が、（エウア地区の）Ha 村の出身
だから、（ニウア地区の）Mu 村の投票所で行われても、その得票数が最も多かった」
と満足そうに語った。また、ニウア地区の An 村の投票会場で立候補者 A 氏の得票数
が３位で、立候補者 C 氏が最多の得票数を得たことを Oh 村の人々は、「An 村に立候
補者 C 氏の家があるからだ」とひどく残念そうに語った。

第二に、立候補者（不明な B 氏を除く）の所属教会は自由教会（Free Church of

所属していた。1822 年、ウェズリアン教会の布教開始後、1873 年になるとトゥポウ
１世は、オーストラリアの支部であったトンガのウェズリアン教会を独立させ自由
教会（Free Church of Tonga, 以下 FCT）を設立した。しかし、サローテ女王（トゥポ

行われ、自由ウェズリアン教会（Free Wesleyan Church of Tonga, 以下 FWC）が創設さ
れた（Fig. 3）。こうして、それまで王の教会であった自由教会の信徒たちは、次々と
FWC に改宗し、王にとっての教会は FCT から FWC へ移行した。FWC へ移行した人々
自由教会の信徒と、それまで弾圧されてきたウェズリアン教会の信徒は、FWC が王

代弁者に他ならない。つまり、王の教会で、信徒数が最多の FWC の信徒の中から立
候補者が現れないこと。そして、FCT の信徒が積極的に立候補する状況は、人民代
表議員という立場が宗教的な意味を反映しているといえる。
エウア島の人々は、人民代表議員の発言が、たとえ一般的に我々が民主的であると

人々であった。
村長・地区長選挙
先にあげた人民代表選挙と比較するために、同時期に行われた村長・地区長選挙を
検討する。
村長選挙とその特徴
エウア島に 15 ある村には、任期３年の村長がおかれている。2001 年３月に行われ
た村長選挙では、15 村の村長を選出が行われた。村長は、地区長と共に 1965 年以降、
立候補者も有権者も庶民の中から一般選挙で選出されるようになった。
2001 年のエウア島の村長選挙の立候補者は、15 村のうち８村（エウア地区で３村、
ニウア地区で５村）が前任者の他に新たな立候補者がなく、無投票で再選された（Table
4）。選挙が行われた７村（エウア地区で３村、ニウア地区で４村）で、このうち再選
されたのは３村（Ha、Fu、Pe 村）、前任者退任による新人選挙が行われたのは３村（Tu、
Sa、An 村）、前任者が敗れ交代したのは１村（Ho 村）であった。この選挙結果から、
再選された村長は 15 村のうち 10 村に及び、立候補者が投票という手段を使わなくて
も、多数の村で既に村人の了解を得ていたといえる。
村人の間では、村長は政府の連絡事項の伝達者、村内の世話係という位置づけが共
有されている。このため村長に立候補する者は、政府からの小額の給与支給を得られ
る反面、村の雑事を積極的に行わなければならない。
では、村長の統制力はあるのだろうか。村長は 1875 年憲法以降のトンガ政府の成
立とそれに伴う自治組織の運営者として設置されたで役職である。世話係に留まる村
長は、首相が任命するとはいえ、村のチーフとトーキング･チーフほど権威を持たない。
村人は、村長よりも村内に存在するチーフとトーキング･チーフに村の権威の所在が
あると感じており、そのためチーフやトーキング･チーフが行う行動規定を優先する。

議への参加が少なくなっている。例えば、人口約 800 人の村の場合、毎回の参加者は
20 人程度にすぎない。しかも村会議を通して伝えられる事柄を実施するのは、村長
とその親族に限られている。こうした村会議への関心のなさ、とりわけ政府地の村に
顕著なこの現象は、村レベルでの政治への無関心さを表すものとみられる。

エウア地区の地区長選挙（Table 5）の場合、立候補者は全員が Oh 村に居住している。
地区長に再選された F.H. 氏の再選要因として次の三点を指摘できる。第一に、立候
補者 F.H. 氏への村人の信頼が票に繋がっていることである。F.H. 氏は、過去３期（９
年）に渡ってエウア地区長を務めてきた実績がある。さらに、F.H. 氏の発言は常に冷
静で論理的な人物で、毎月各村で開かれる村会議や寄付集めの場では、参加者の意見
の取りまとめを行っている。
第二に、モルモン教徒の F.H. 氏に反 FWC 教会の信徒（モルモン教徒、FCT 教徒、
トンガ教徒）の票が集中したためである。村人の半数がモルモン信徒の Ha 村では
F.H. 氏への投票数が圧倒的に際立っている。エウア島およびトンガタプ島で最多の
信徒数を占める FWC 教会に所属し教会の世話係も務める O.M. 氏の得票数は、全体
の 39 パーセントにあたる 296 票で、F.H. 氏の 392 票には及ばなかった。Oh 村では、
FWC 信徒の O.M. 氏と FWC 系トウカイコロ教徒の候補者 H.H. 氏の合計得票が 144
47
森本：トンガ王国エウア島の３つの選挙に見る庶民の関心（資料）
票であるのに対して、F.H. 氏は 175 票を得た。
第三に、エウア地区の投票所の中でも唯一 F.H. 氏が１位を獲得できなかった Ta 村
は、ほとんどの村人が FWC 信徒であることと関係する。注意深くその票割りをみると、
FWC 信徒の立候補者の圧勝と思われた村では、以外にも Ta 村の有権者 89 人のうち、
実際に投票に参加した 37 票のうちの F.H. 氏（モルモン教徒）が 17 票を獲得している。
これは Ta 村に居住する FWC 信徒の村人が、所属宗派よりも F.H. 氏自身に評価を下
したことを意味している訳ではない。Ta 村の F.H. 氏の親族が、所属宗派よりも親族
関係をもつ F.H. 氏に投票したのである。つまり、参加した有権者の関心は、所属宗
派による優先よりも立候補者の親族関係を優先しているといえる。このことは、次ぎ
にあげるニウア地区の選挙結果からも裏付けられる。

ニウア地区の地区長選挙（Table 6）の場合、立候補者の全ては FWC 教徒のため宗
派による得票差は生じていない。例えば、立候補者 M.F. 氏は To 村の出身で、To 村
の有権者の９割は彼に投票している。従って、最終的な立候補者の得票数は、出身
村の人口規模に比例する。有権者は自分の所属教会の候補者がいない場合、同村出
身村と親族関係者に票を投じている。ニウア地区で最多の投票率は An 村（111 票）
で、各候補者への票はほぼ同じ割合であったあった。これは An 村からの立候補者が
なかったためである。Pe 村の場合、Pe 村出身の立候補者はおらず、隣の To 村出身
の M.F. 氏に 57 パーセントの村の得票数を得た。これは隣接する Pe 村と To 村の世帯
の半数が、互いの村に親族関係を持ち、それが立候補者の得票数に影響した。これは
Ei、Sa、Mu 村の場合も状況が類似する。Fa 村と To 村に隣接する Mu 村は、これら
48
南太平洋研究 vol. 26, No. 1, 2005
両村出身の立候補者への支持が二分された。
ここで興味深いのは、現職で再選を目指す S.T. 氏への村人の評価があった。彼は
村長も兼任しており、村一番の豪華な家を築くほど換金作物で大きな利益を出してい
た。また、カヴァの現金化の過程で必要なカヴァの製粉機械を唯一所有していた。村
人は、S.T. 氏に金を支払って、カヴァの製粉を行った。日頃から村人から広く利益を
得て、さらに村長兼地区長の役職とそれに支払われる給料を一人で掌握する S.T. 氏
を快く思わない人々の不満が彼への得票数に表れた。つまり、ニウア地区の場合でも、
候補者の出身村と親族関係がその得票数に大きく影響をしている。
考察
トンガ社会の全体に存在する、王と政府によって導入された近代的な政治システム
（政府代表、村長、地区長、人民代表議員）と伝統的なチーフ（村付きのチーフとト
ーキング･チーフ）という並立する二重構造は、共に王国の権力構造の持続のために、
王によって組み替えられたものである。エウア島の庶民生活における民主主義の介在

方である。そこでの人々の関心とエネルギーは、ローカルな親族と教会へ向けられて
いる（森本 2005）。
トンガに関する人類学の先行研究では、エウア島での民主化運動の支持者は 1993
年の選挙までおらず、1999 年の選挙で 2,194 人の有権者のうち民主化の支持者は 76
人に過ぎなかったと報告されている（Campbell 1999: p268）。しかし、本稿の事例の
投票結果からは、島の人々は人民代表議員に民主化への改革を強く求めて票を投じて
いるのではなく、むしろ親族関係や同一村の出身者といった関係に強く傾斜している。
これは、先行研究で言われている、人々の民主化に対する倦怠感とは別のトンガ独自
の民主主義のあり方として十分に議論される余地を残している。
政治における象徴の持つ意味は大きい。それは、政治が権力や組織といった、見え
ざるものを可視化するからである。当該社会の政治は、歴史的な発展過程において、
経験による自己解釈をしながら、象徴体系を内部から発生させてきた。例えば近代国
家の成立にともなうナショナリズム、民族の自己意識（エスニック･アイデンティー）
などがそうである。神川（1961: p52）は、政治を「物理的強制的に担保されつつも、
色濃く心理的強制に依拠し、絶えず分化していく利害の対立を何らかのフィクション
によって統合・同質化していく機能」と指摘する。本稿でとりあげたトンガ王国エウ

Introduction
The majority of the islands of the western Paciﬁc are part of the ‘Ring of Fire’, the
zones of ----.
The complete scientific name (Genus, species and authority), and cultivar or strain
where appropriate, must be cited for every organism on ﬁrst mention. The generic name
may be abbreviated to its initial thereafter, except where reference to other genera could
cause confusion. Vernacular names may be added, but should be used alone only when
they are unambiguous.
If a non-standard abbreviation is to be used extensively, it should be deﬁned in full.
SI units should be used, e.g.: mg, g, kg, km, m, cm, mm, ppm, cpm, l (liter), ml, s
(second), min (minute), h (hour) and mol, etc. If non-SI units have to be used, the SI
equivalents should be added in parentheses on first mention. Units should abbreviated
when preceded by a numeral: g, mg, ml, d, h, etc. (not followed by full stops). Use the
minus index (m-2, I-1, h-1) except in such cases as ‘per plant’ or ‘per plot’. If elaborate use
is made of units, symbols and abbreviations, these may be explained in the paper.
Standard chemical symbols and abbreviations for chemical names may be used
if they are concise and widely accepted. Numbers up to ten should be given in words
except when referring to measurements; give 11 and upwards as numerals, except at the
beginning of a sentence. Fractions should be expressed as decimals. Use ‘%’ not ‘per cent’
in the text. Dates should be cited thus: 1 Sept. 2003.
Mathematical equations will not necessarily fit within a single typeset column and
should be subdivided appropriately in the manuscript. Authors should also make any
special typography which may be required.
Citations in the text should take the form: JOHNSON and CASADEVALL (1994) or (SAWADA
1987, KINOSHITA 1990a, b). When papers are written by three or more authors, abbreviate
to the name of the ﬁrst author followed by et al. throughout.
7) References
Abbreviation for journal names should follow the convention accepted in the author’
s discipline. Each entry of citations in the list must conform as nearly as possible to one of
these three styles in alphabetical order, according to the type of publication cited:
