Thesis (Ph.D.)--University of Hawai'i at Manoa, 1993.
This dissertation argues that development goals, processes, and outcomes must reflect accurately and build upon local culture precepts if they are to be sustainable. Current development orthodoxy treats culture--that system of traits, values, and patterns shared by members of a society--in a way that precludes sustainable development. This is because the goals of this orthodoxy are derived from the values, and related goals, of Western culture. This process ignores the inherent strengths that already exist within any local culture context; strengths that may hold the key to sustainable development.Subjects--Topical Terms:

This dissertation argues that development goals, processes, and outcomes must reflect accurately and build upon local culture precepts if they are to be sustainable. Current development orthodoxy treats culture--that system of traits, values, and patterns shared by members of a society--in a way that precludes sustainable development. This is because the goals of this orthodoxy are derived from the values, and related goals, of Western culture. This process ignores the inherent strengths that already exist within any local culture context; strengths that may hold the key to sustainable development.

This argument is made through a case study of Tongan commercial farmers. The case study answers two major questions: (1) What are the processes involved in establishing sustainable, productive commercial farm ventures in Tonga? and (2) What role does culture play in these processes?

Using the modes of production concept as a tool of analysis, I explore the various strategies that local commercial farmers employ in their attempts to first secure, and then build upon, a necessary base of land, labor, and financial resources. These strategies required a sophisticated interplay of factors including the farmer's technical skill and farm management decisions, and his ability to strategically exploit traditional kinship and social relations as well as institutional and overseas linkages. Because all of these factors are mediated by the prevailing cultural ethos, special emphasis is placed on identifying the implications of culture for sustainable commercial farm development and the broader ramifications these findings hold for the design and implementation of future development agendas in Tonga.

Base data for this dissertation derives from an in-depth interpretation of field data collected on commercial farmers in 1983 and 1984 that are further supported by research in 1986, 1988, and 1992.

The dissertation concludes that sustainable productivity rests on a synthesized mode of production; in other words, a strategic interplay of capitalist and traditional Tongan relations of production. Essentially, the synthesized mode of production incorporates the best and avoids the excesses of the other production modes because it has been contextualized by farmers to meet the particular demands and opportunities inherent in the Tongan milieu.
