Abstract
In the context of conflict between local and immigrant groups in the Pacific and in Papua New Guinea, the authors argue that there are certain relational skills and attitudes that can reduce the risk of such conflict. They analyse processes of immigration into the fertile Waghi valley of the Western Highlands Province. They present a series of strategies that immigrant communities have employed in order to enjoy harmonious relations with the locals, eventually leading to integration.
