Fiji: The Flailing State
This policy briefs describes how Fijian President Josefa Iloilo's abrogation of the 1997 constitution has entrenched a military dictatorship in Australia's backyard. The author argues that Commodore Voreqe Bainimarama's dominant leadership of the interim government and his exclusion of dissenting voices will exacerbate and accelerate economic decline in Fiji and cause unprecedented hardship to Fiji's population.
